We really liked that they are self-sufficient, they produce their own electricity using the waterfall in the picture. There we can grab bananas from trees, the dining terrace has a nice view of the waterfall and lush vegetation around. We missed (a little) an air conditioning system in the room and it is hard to get there without a rental car. All in all a very pleasant stay.

Friendly staff, will answer posed question but dont offer info. Property has very zen style. Breakfast low key but gorgeousview of waterfall. Walked to and swam in waterfall which is breathtakingly beautiful. Long pretty drive in from town-2 gates you need code for. Lots of electronic commination-sign up for a breakfast time, sign up for housekeeping, check in. etc was a bit much putting us on a schedule when domt want to be on one on vacation but understand its for staffing needs. Cute dog and cat on property who like visiting with guests. Would recommend based on zen setting and waterfall.

The property itself was beautiful. Also the person who greeted us upon arrival was kind and helpful. The General Manager however was not kind and helpful. When we pulled down the covers of the bed we found at least 10 hairs in the sheets and on the pillowcase. There were also pieces of dirt/grains of sand in the sheets. When we complained someone came up to change the sheets but at that point we were grossed out. We couldn't stay both nights we booked - we could only stay one night due to being grossed out and wondering what else might be dirty in the room. The next day, when we spoke to the general manager via text, she (or he) was not helpful and was unwilling to admit any wrongdoing. I would definitely NOT recommend this place to anyone for staying overnight. If you want to stay just go for the outdoor activities and then leave.

This was by far our favorite place we’ve EVER stayed and we have traveled the world! The staff were super sweet and helpful, starting with Jeri, when we checked in and got settled to Aarika bringing us an amazing breakfast and checking us out. Everyone was wonderful! The breakfast was served on the patio overlooking the gorgeous waterfall. It is tucked away so very quite with trails through bamboo groves and down to the falls, where you can take a refreshing swim. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this picture perfect, extremely tranquil Inn💕. We will definitely return.

I don't usually write a lot of reviews, but I specifically came back to this booking that we had in April of 2022 because I've thought about it so much since that stay. This was possibly the most idyllic setting I've ever had the pleasure of staying at; the grounds around the main property are like a movie set. It was impossibly pretty, and the hiking trail they set up around the multitude of tropical plants they grow there was a lot of fun to walk. We swam in the pool where the waterfall was flowing, but the water was a little too high to try and get up underneath the falls itself. We had a wonderful night's sleep away from the bustle of town; we slept with our windows open and during the night one of the house cats decided it wanted to sleep in the bed with us, so we made a little space for our new friend. If you're looking for a unique experience in Hilo I'd highly recommend this incredible property. We only stayed one night so I can't comment on a lot of the hospitality outside of the excellent breakfast we had, but I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that it would all be equally great.
