Hulili Tropical Fruit Farm- With over 200 five star reviews!

*If your dates aren't available, please check out our new listing #1355789*
Opened for guests in 2010, the original HULILI FARM COTTAGE (pronounced who-lee-lee) has welcomed so many wonderful guests that it became time to enable more people to enjoy the farm. Please check out our Pineapple Cottage listing (#1355789) to see which cottage best suits your needs.
Guests rave about the 'SWEEPING, UNSPOILED, TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY VIEW' in every direction! The sun and moon rise over the ocean as you watch the wonders unfold from your comfy rocking chair OR swinging bed on the lanai. Birdsong is the beautiful sound track on this private farm located at the end of a dead end country road. Relax as you walk through the orchards and please, sample the fruit...that's when it is best!
The COTTAGE is bright, clean, and furnished with all you will need. The 'BAMBOO SLEEPING CHAMBER' offers a KING size 'sleep number' bed with dual controls for firmness. A FULL size futon is inside, and outside on the LANAI is the QUEEN size 'HANGING BED'. (This bed has become a favorite with our guests, who sleep, nap, read and talk while swaying in the breeze, taking in the beauty.) Walk-in shower and pedestal sink in the cottage bath. Laundry facilities, with all supplies, are available for our guests and just steps away from the cottage.
A huge AVOCADO tree hugs the patio next to the lanai. We have named her, MS. CADDO. You may taste her fruits in season and almost always there will be a stalk of 'apple' bananas hanging from her branches. Bring some groceries and you are ready to settle in.
We encourage you to take the time to read our GUEST COMMENTS. They paint a true picture of their stay at Hulili Farm. Here is seclusion, peace and quiet on a tropical farm 'paradise'.
The ultimate guidebook: 'HAWAII, THE BIG ISLAND REVEALED' is in the cottage for your use while exploring.

While most guests come to the farm to get away from their busy lives, for those who still want to maintain some connection, we have recently updated our internet and now offer fiber-internet on the farm. But we won’t tell your boss that!


Have fun!
Our Aloha,
Todd and Madeleine

Bucolic retreat
Off the beaten path but able to readily access the sites of Hilo, Volcanoes NP, Puna and the Hamakua Coast. If you want to enjoy a little bit of rural Hawaii, this is a great place to stay.

Hang Out on the Lanai
Madeleine has created a private retreat on her farm. The property was well-equipped and super clean. We enjoyed sleeping on the lanai on the bed that is suspended from the ceiling. The location is good for exploring the Hamakua coast. We also were happy to chill out on the farm and enjoy the view.

Wonderful Honeymoon Location and Affordable!
My wife and I couldn't have been more happy with the hosts and the property. Everything was very well kept and the farm has some of the best sunrises we've seen. Would highly recommend!

Quiet getaway
We love staying here! It is quiet, peaceful and has an awesome view! A great place to have some downtime. For those who want to explore the island a bit it’s a great location. Out in the country but not that far away to explore restaurants and shopping. We have stayed here multiple times and always are sad to leave!

Best spot in Hilo if you want to wake up to nature at it’s best!
We had an amazing stay at the Cottage. The experience of hanging out in the Lanai at anytime of the day, but even better at sunrise and sunset, is just unreal. Madeline and Todd are really nice and friendly and very communicative throughout the stay. Especially appreciate the warm welcome muffins :) we had a pleasant stay with being able to walk the farm and even sample some fruit. Our 3 Year old enjoyed the swings and the trampoline that the family gladly share with guests of both cottages.

Bucolic setting and cozy cottage
If you want to see the beautiful Hamakua coast and experience daily living in a natural setting, this is the spot. The hosts are accommodating but unobtrusive. The farm is pristine and relaxing. I highly recommend this listing.

Peaceful stay with Amazing views
This beautiful farm is off the beaten path and about 25 minutes from Hilo. It is very quiet except for the birds and frogs. The views of the farm and the ocean are amazing and mesmerizing. We sat outside in the rockers and on the hanging bed for hours. The sunrise and sunsets were really beautiful. We left each day to check out local waterfalls, beaches and of course the volcano. A lot of people come over from Kona for just a day trip at a time, but we really enjoyed being able to explore more since we were on this side of the island. There are plenty of good restaurants in Hilo and you have to stop at Ed's Bakery which is really close by. The cottage was clean and had everything you need. You could stay right here and cook your meals in the kitchen. The whole place is really cute and comfortable. If you need a peaceful place to get away, this place is very relaxing.
