Words cannot describe how amazing the owners make you feel here. Truly unique setting outside of Hilo with all the little touches taken care of by the owners. So peaceful and tranquil, you will never want to leave.

What an amazing stay. We appreciated the warm welcome we received when we arrived at the cottage and were pleasantly surprised by the homemade muffins waiting for us on the kitchen table. We had everything we could have needed during our stay and we especially loved relaxing on the hanging bed on the lanai after a day of exploring. The views were amazing and it was so peaceful and relaxing. We would definitely recommend the Pineapple Cottage to anyone!!

A beautiful garden cottage on part of a well kept estate in a beautiful setting conveniently located just outside Hilo. A smartly designed space that comes with many extras, such as beach towels, chairs, and snorkelling equipment along with a number of cooking appliances and a BBQ.
