Gorgeous extensive tropical gardens (with river/stream that I loved having a dip in) situated a short drive from everything in Hilo. Fascinating insight into chocolate farming and gardening from Dan and Berndt! Who wouldn’t want to wake up to the smell of vanilla and chocolate. Was the highlight of our stay on Hawaii and would absolutely recommend this. So much so, we wish we’d spent more time here and less on Kona. Can’t wait to visit again. David and Rich
