Wonderful house in beautiful location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this great house. The kitchen was huge and filled with everything you could need. The beds were comfortable and the house was immaculate. We loved sitting out on the lanai and listening to the coqui frogs. The gardens are outstanding! We walked around multiple times and saw so many different flowers and varieties of plants. The orchids were gorgeous. We did not want to leave this beautiful place! Highly recommend.

Private and Tranquil
We loved the week we spent here. It was a bit out of the way from some activities on the island, but they call it The Big Island for a reason. We really value our privacy when traveling and this property delivered. We didn’t even realize when booking that it was on the Botanical Garden which was awesome as we got to enjoy exploring the gardens and decided to do the zip line. The home has everything you need, comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen, and lots of space. We especially enjoyed evenings eating dinner in the cool of the night on the lanai. A lot of rentals on the island don’t have AC, so huge feature there. The only disappointment was initial cleanliness. There was dust buildup on all the light switches - a small detail that tells a lot about the care taken during the cleaning process. There was also a damp stanky towel that had been left in the washer for Probably a week. It took a while for the smell to come out of the machine. That being said, the property management staff were very responsive and took care of things quickly including fixing a shower that wasn’t draining. We’d definitely come back even with the issues due to staff responsiveness, the beauty of the property, and the privacy and amenities.

Peaceful Garden Paradise
We had a quite peaceful stay at the Garden Home at Botanical World Adventures. We enjoyed walking around the property looking at the different varieties of plants. We found some fruit on the ground that we were able to enjoy. We loved the massive well stocked kitchen. It was a great place to kick back relax and do nothing. The property had the at home feeling we all love to experience on our vacations. The property was far enough from Hilo to hide from the world, and close enough to take advantage of what the city has to offer. Be sure to enjoy what the area has to offer.

We even picked tangerines and used the electric juicer. The orchids and foliage surrounding the property was absolutely beautiful. Definitely would recommend staying here.

Perfection sums up this beautiful, comfortable and exceptionally clean home. The photos don’t do the interior or exterior justice. A large and well appointed kitchen with every thing one could ever imagine to prepare meals, including basics & spices for your use. Dinning room is spacious but meals, morning coffee or an evening glass of wine on the screened Lani quick became our favorite! Bedrooms & bathrooms were large, clean & we slept so good every night of our stay. We also appreciated the large laundry with new washer & dryer. This home is surrounded by beauty and so many species of flowers & trees, the fruit trees are abundant. Communications for directions to this property and entry into this home were clear and easy to follow. Access to the gardens of Botanical World Adventures was a bonus and we highly recommend taking time to participate in the activities offered. Multiple times we walked the property both of the home & across the street and always saw new flowers, trees, critters. We throughly enjoyed the zip line adventure, it was certainly a highlight for us & the staff at BWA were professional & fun. Icing on the cake to our stay. We hope to return one day & once again stay in this lively Garden Hime, we have told so many others about this property already and highly recommend staying here to enjoy the Big Island, a perfect Home Base to explore from!

Lovely!
This place was one of the two most beautiful places anywhere on Hawai’i that I saw on the trip. It was a shame to leave “home” to go on our excursions. Every appliance you might imagine was there. One item aside, sleeping on the porch was a delight for our little one. Bring your own cooler. Shopping is in Hilo, and you’ll wasn’t to keep things cold. They provide ice packs. Walmart had coolers for $25. Alas, our first night, we were beset by cows in the neighboring pasture. One of them really had something to say, and was moo, moo, moo, every five seconds all night long perhaps 20’ from our bedroom window. (Not an exaggeration!) Maybe there was something wrong with the cow. I recall dreaming that there was a forked assembly line running around the bed and down the hall. One side had whirring fans (this was our fault) and on my side had packaged “MOO!” in a box. It was the first time I ever hoped the Easter bunny would bring me bovine laryngitis! The next day, the staff assured us they were actually short-necked Hawaiian giraffes, but I know a cow when I see one! You can tell. They go Moo. I wasn’t fooled. You might ask the property manager if the bulls/cows could be kept out of that pasture. The fridge compressor ran almost continuously 24/7. It may need to be serviced.

Gorgeous house in a very special and beautiful setting
The house was as pictured. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Really liked how the two bedrooms were at opposite ends of the house. Kitchen was very well equipped. The lanai was wonderful. The house is situation within an orchid and botanical garden with a view of the sea in the distances and endless rolling fields in the back. The botanical garden is a commercial tourist venture, but that all takes place across the street and we heard and saw nothing of it. We were allowed to stroll through the gardens as much as we liked. The house is about a 20 minute drive to the center of Hilo to the south, which was perfect for shopping and restaurants. Driving north up the Honoka'a coast is stunning. If you are looking for white sandy beaches, you will not find them on this side of the Big Island. It's about an hour's drive from the house for that. But the beaches in Hilo - past the port - are really underrated. Gorgeous views, good shade and excellent facilitates.

The place to stay on the quiet side of the island
It's a great house with two separate ensuite bedrooms. The kitchen is a gourmet kitchen with all the equipment and supplies you could need. The location is across from a botanical garden with walking paths, maze, ziplines and Segway tours. The peace and quiet are lovely but be prepared to drive. Additional instructions for propane tanks, washer and dryer would have been helpful. We never could get the dvd player to work. Overall a lovely stay.

Amazing property!
Our family of 4 stayed at this property and loved every minute of it! Although the location was a bit further north of Hilo than we expected, it was a picturesque 20 min drive into town and we saw new views every time we drove into Hilo. The property itself was incredible - waking up to see the sunrise from the lanai with the beautiful trees and flowers all around was a perfect way to start the day. And the house had everything we could’ve needed and more! It was extremely clean, the kitchen was amazing, and although the main living area did not have AC, the breeze through the space was always adequate to keep the space comfortable. I wish we could’ve stayed a few more days here to enjoy the property even more. Thanks for letting us spend time here!!!
