Gingerhill Farm Retreat

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!

i expected a hotel room not a tent. However, if you like a tent in a farm setting, rustic, you may like it

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. Can’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.

Our host was very accommodating, prompt with any request and overall easy to communicate with. The stay was very comfortable and the property beautiful. We stayed in the bamboo canopy.

Gingerhill Farm Retreat is in a gorgeous setting. The Garden Cottage was perfect for us. The outdoor shower was heavenly. The view of the ocean 1500 ft below was stunning. We were enchanted by the sound of coqui frogs at night and birds in the morning. I will certainly try to stay here any time I go to Hawaiʻi Island.

Once I realized I had a gate code in my email with which I could enter, and after getting past the fact that the grounds were trashy and unkempt, the stay was amazing. The seclusion and sounds of wildlife were very cool.

We absolutely adore this place!! The grounds are stunningly beautiful, rich with existing vegetation and a distant ocean view beyond. At night, you fall asleep to a magical chorus of wildlife, and during the day the sun streams on to the deck and into the outdoor shower, calming your entire nervous system. We stayed in the Garden Cottage which is incredibly private and serene. Open, airy and lush. The location of the farm is also perfect because it’s in a super local (read: zero tourists) location. Highly highly recommend this place!!

We stayed one night and had great stay.

We love staying at Gingerhill it’s quite and peaceful
