While it can be great for some people, it was not the most suitable for me and my wife. I booked the bamboo canopy. What's great: - Parking is free. - Greenery is great and refreshing. - Dining room and views from it are great. - Great host - They provide free towels, shampoos, cooking materials, free coffee in the dining area, cookware and silverware to use. Issues for us: - Light was too dim for the room, not bright enough even in the day. - The shared restrooms were too remote. They have compost bathroom which means no use of water. Not very convenient. Shower was also not too great cause of no door, only covered by curtains. - Too many insects, geckos everywhere and some spiders. - Taking luggage from car to the room was very hard and far, had to go through all the grass. - The sounds of insects at night is too loud. - Spotty wifi and network. I think this is best for people who are staying 1 or 2 nights with small bags and are well prepared. If you decide to stay here, here's a few tips: - Don't bring big luggage. - Bring some bright lights for room. - Bring bug body spray and anti-itch cream.

The garden cabin far exceeded our expectations. We had an amazing Hawaiā€™i experience living in a jungle of every fruit you could imagine with an incredible view. So peaceful and quiet I could have spent my entire time on the island on that property.

Our favorite stay!
We are campers, we love animals, and we love the outdoors, and being grounded to our environment! This was our favorite stay in HI. We stayed in ocean front condos, rainforests volcanic caves, and cute motels, but this place was absolutely our favorite! We loved Kimba, the cat, the goats, the chickens, and the big ol pig!! The frogs and stars are night are wonderful. We were greeted at the beginning by a very kind person. She walked us to our cabin and showed us around. We stayed at the bamboo cabin (BEAUTIFUL!) bamboos everywhere! we had out restroom, kitchen area, fridge, and shower. It was so cozy and romantic.

Ginger Hills is a lovely little place in close proximity to a lot of awesome things to do. I think they offer a good variety of lodging options and they've got a great staff comprised of legitimately vibrant and kind individuals. If you want to stay somewhere that's close to nature, you really cannot go wrong.

Absolute gem ! We stayed here for our week long trip celebrating my daughter turning 18 . Comfortable beds , beautiful grounds and the most amazing noises at night ( coqui frogs and trees) . I grew up in Puerto Rico and adored hearing the frogs all night . Perfect little outdoor kitchen were we made breakfast every morning .Would stay here again !

It was a great experience to witness first hand the Hawaiian spirit starting with my stay in this Retreat FarmHouse; I booked for a small cabin for myself but to my surprise a day or two; through their welcoming email I found out that I was upgraded to Garden Cottage, amazing, yeah!šŸ˜ I got the whole place by myself that could accommodate a small family. Thankful, thankful for the management/staff for the warm welcome. I felt the closer connection with the nature in the middle of the lush; special mention to the Iris and Zach for being so warm and welcoming (they even provided the sweetest bananas Iā€™ve ever tasted and I shared with the tropical birds, the papaya, and the pomelo) by the kitchen table. Hope to come back with my family someday.

Sad to leave our wonderful Garden Cottage!
My husband and I LOVED our stay here. The Garden Cottage added so much to our Big Island experience. Between a suite at a nice resort, or here, no question - I would take our cottage at Gingerhill Farms in a second! The lush greenery and sounds of nature all around us, the privacy and solitude of our spacious cottage, the ocean view from the porch, the luxurious bedding, the excellent communication with staff (who brought us fresh bananas upon arrival and even lent us snorkel equipment for free)...it was a dream! But it's different from a hotel, and some people might not appreciate it like we did. For example, the shower is outside, attached to the side of the cottage. But it's very private, and we found it unique and special to have a shower in the open air, surrounded by lush greenery, the sound of birds and a beautiful sky above. Another unique aspect - at night there are a lot of singing coqui frogs. But for us, it added to the experience. Bring earplugs if you prefer to keep the windows/doors open at night and you are sensitive to noise when you sleep. I really, really hope we will have the opportunity to stay at the Garden Cottage again someday. It was PERFECT. Thank you again to the staff, you were extremely attentive and kind, yet gave us our space and privacy. We appreciate you!

The night life of the forest is incredible. The place was relatively easy to find and Sylvia helped me every step of the way. I loved everything about my stay. So grateful for the warmth and hospitality. Canā€™t wait to come back. The animals, oh my heart. Frank and the chickens and the goats. Uni and I named the other two Eric and Suzie. I ate well, fresh and got to check out some great spots nearby. The food, the views, the company. Unparalleled. Mahalo. Until next time.
