The best equipped house we have ever rented. Not only appliances of all kinds but also a well stocked cabinet of foods. The house is spacious and comfortable, plenty of room for a family of four. And the location beautiful, the botanical garden across the street free for us to explore. Highly recommended.

Absolutely phenomenal!

Very quiet location a short drive from Hilo. Beautiful grounds filled with fruit trees, charming birds, and the coqui frogs will relax you at night. The screened-in lanai is airy with ceiling fans and you will enjoy every spare moment out there or even a nap. Spacious well equipped kitchen and brand new appliances throughout. Many great snorkeling adventures in Hilo make great day trips. Check out the Tuesday night traditional Hawaiian music at the Hilo Town Tavern.
Literally your backyard at this house. Amazing!

A slice of paradise

We stayed here because it is close to family and are so glad we did! Very well equipped and comfortable home in a quiet setting. The kitchen is one of the best equipped ones we’ve ever had. Not only are the cooking pots and pans of high quality, but there were lots of condiments and ingredients available too. The furniture is of a nice quality and the house was impeccably clean.

A taste of paradise

The place exceeded our expectations in pretty much every way. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well appointed and stocked with cooking supplies (including well stocked teas), the lanai was great for eating outside or relaxing on comfortable furniture (a member of our party fell sick and preferred recouping outside), and being next to the Botanical Adventure gardens. We enjoyed walking the property among the lemon drop mango orchard, banana plants, mango tree, cacao tree, red sealing wax palms, plumerias, ... From the place we also saw a small indian mongoose, mourning and gold dust day geckos, common mynas, northern and yellow-billed cardinals, and saffron finches. Now we are telling our friends, "if you ever go to the big island of Hawaii, we have a place recommendation :-)"

About the host

Hosted by Walter

Host profile image
BWA LLC is the owner of Botanical World Adventures and the World Botanical Gardens. The partners became involved in the gardens over 15 years ago due to the beauty and size of the collection of plants.

Coming from families of farmers, ornamental horticulturists, real estate, construction and Future Farmers of America, the owners have a true spirit of the land - "the Aina". They have worked on farms, in greenhouses, tractor shops and many other ag and land related businesses.

In October 2013 the partners acquired the gardens and all the assets. "We have been investing in this project since we had contact with it and look at the Garden Home as another adventure in the gardens."

Why they chose this property

The opportunity of sharing the gardens this intimately after our Garden Director left this home was inspiring to the partners. This place has magical properties and we enjoy sharing it in this amazing "in the gardens" experience. A wander through the fruit, flowers and spices is a journey through the amazing Hawaiian history.

What makes this property unique

You are literally in the World Botanical Gardens and have free access to them throughout your stay. Air conditioning in the living room and each bedroom on warm days is so soothing. Furthermore, you also receive kama'aina pricing for any of the Botanical World Adventures (zip lines, Segways, etc). Stay a week and you get a free tour! "Our staff members are your hosts, they are committed to assuring you have an enjoyable experience as our guest."
