We had a great time! Loved the ducks and the cabin was lovely. Very secluded but only 30 minutes from Hilo and accessible to the rest of the island. Esther and Chris were great hosts. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect Stay in Hawaii, Will Return
My friend and I really enjoyed the stay at Christopher & Esther's homestead. The house is very cozy, and there are also a lot of amenities, including hot water for shower and for daily use, all sorts of cooking appliances, Wi-Fi connection, cleaning supplies, and sunscreen and bug repellant. The host and hostess Christopher & and Esther were very hospitable, they showed us around, introduced all types of amenities and specialties of the homestead, and they also responded promptly to all sorts of questions. The homestead has a very beautiful view, too. It is on a farm where you can spend a lot of time with ducks, and banana trees, and get a view of the rainforest and the ocean while staying in cool temperatures in the mountains. My friend and I really enjoyed our stay, as we experienced Hawaii in a more authentic way by living in this homestead that is cozier and more comfortable than glamping, and we would return again in the future.
Thank you Christopher & Esther for your hospitality!

Christopher and Esther were very nice and helpful for anything that I needed during my stay. The ducks are a lot of fun too. The cabin feels private and had everything I needed. The warm shower was very nice.
Mahalo again for a great stay!
Aloha

The Tropical Duck
amazing experience!
My family and I had such a relaxing stay here. We loved waking up to the ducks greeting us and falling asleep to the birds and tropical sounds. It was a very peaceful stay after being in a resort all week. Despite it being a rustic cabin, the bed was very comfortable and kitchen was fully equipped with all necessary cooking supplies. Christopher was very friendly, and we loved hearing about his experiences living around volcano country! Will definitely return next time we visit the island.

The ducks are fantastic greeting and following us around. I enjoyed feeding them. The cabin is really a glampiing (glamorous) experience. And to top it all Esther and Christopher are very friendly, very hospitable hosts. We had a quite great conversation. She’s also suggested the local popular eateries around the area. Awesome place, awesome people, awesomely ducks!
