Royal Palm Cottage/5 mins from beach/Akaka Falls/Private Lanai

Situated on an 8.5 acre exotic fruit farm along the Hamakua Coast, Royal Palm Cottage will provide you real feeling of Hawaii country living. A view of Mauna Kea greets you as you drive up Chin Chuck Road, known for the well manicured, 10 acre farm lots. As you enter the estate you will marvel at the breathtaking views of mature Royal Palms, 30 foot tall Black Bamboo, ocean views and many tropical Hawaiian flowers. Famed Akaka Falls State park is just 6 miles away. The night skies are perfect for stargazing. As the sun rises, common country sounds of rain, roosters, cows, birds, owls, hawks, coqui frogs & dogs can be heard. We have a designated path with chairs set up for watching the sun rise. A boarding dog Kennel shares a portion of the property. Barking can be heard 8-10 am during feeding times or if wild pigs are roaming. It is best if our guests are lovers of dogs, man's best friend.

The evenings are perfect for star gazing thru the royal palms.

A Romantic, newly built private 1 bedroom, 1 bath with tiled shower, kitchenette, dinning area and living room will welcome you home after a day of exploring. Amenities include a Propane Fire pit, BBQ grill, dry sauna, Koa wood floors, queen bed, air conditioning, ceiling fan, sofa that converts to a single bed, dimmable lights and a private lanai. The colors are cool and relaxing for the nature enthusiast. Perfect for a lovely romantic retreat, anniversary, Honeymoon or just a visit on the Hamakua side of the Big island.

1 or 2 bed room cottage studio will be available to book 11-1-2022. inquire for details.

Just 15 miles from Hilo, 30 miles from Waipio Valley, 1 hour from the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Over 200 mature fruit trees are on property. Seasonal Lychee, Emperor Lychee, Rambuton, Mango, Mangosteen, Atemoya and Papaya will be included in the welcome/Breakfast fruit bowl. We may have a litter of puppies 2-3 times a year on the property. Puppy noises , some barking can be heard during business hours, feeding times 8-10. Smoking allowed on Lanai ONLY ( please close glass sliding door).

The room was impeccable with the most loving and discerning touches we could ask for.
The property, the tropical fruit grown on it, and the hosts themselves, were wonderful. We truly loved it all.

Great Hosts and Serene Space & Dry Sauna!
Laurel was easy to work with, helpful and gave a lovely tour of her property. My favorite parts include the aisle of tall palms, the sound of the rain, frogs, and birds at night, and of course enjoying the sauna. Mahalo nui loa!

Excellent Place
Stayed two nights in Dec 2023. Beautiful yard, great location. Very clean and it has all the stuffs you would need. Owners are very friendly and accommodating; we even got a tour on the property in the morning of check out day. But air conditioner in the living room is pretty loud. Sofa bed can only fit one person and it’s not very comfortable if you are adult and have to sleep on the floor mats. In overall, it’s a great place.

nice cottage in the jungle
Nice place. Its a little far away from facilities but I liked the isolation. One thing : it can get noisy at night due to invasive coqui frogs, but that's life on this side of the island.
