If you're looking for accommodations on the Hilo side of the Big Island, you're unlikely to find a better place to stay. The modern abode sits atop an incredible piece of land that houses the couple's working cacao farm as well as a beautiful botanical garden. We enjoyed our meals and downtime on the covered lanai that overlooks the farm all the way to the ocean. The location is close to town (about ten min to Hilo) and surrounding hikes and waterfalls but secluded enough that you'll hear a variable symphony of birds and frogs. Not only were the views picturesque, but the hosts were kind, accommodating, and engaging. We very much enjoyed our stay!
