farmstay close to everything
Sunset Suite with Ocean View
We loved this location. So close to lots of the activities we had planned around Kona. Also not far from restaurants and a laundromat. The room was close to the parking area. We had a little decking where we could dry our swimwear. The room was nice and spacious so we could spread out our suitcases. Didn’t explore the farm much because it was raining but loved patting the cat that liked to sleep on the decking. The room also felt very private and the farm is behind a locked gate. Definitely recommend

Jungle Canopy Stay
Jungle Canopy
Ginger Farms was a nice place to stay and very different than the other resort style experiences offered on Hawaii. I really enjoyed making coffee every morning in the outdoor kitchen. A few things I would have liked to know before staying, the outdoor shower is cold water only. I feel like I should have figured that out for myself but it didn't occur to me until I was there. Also, for those not as familiar with the weather or foliage, it will definitely be damp....just a part of the experience and nothing to do with the stay itself. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. The camp site was stocked with everything I needed. The outdoor shower was cute and having a toilet in the tent was perfect for me. A very comfortable experience.

Hidden gem
Jungle Canopy
A hidden gem! We were in need of a much needed staycation since we live in Hawaii. The grounds are beautiful and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Every morning during our stay, the owner walked the grounds performing an oli’ (hawaiian chant). The bed was comfortable. If you’re a visitor and want a different experience or just get away from tourist areas, this is a great option. BEWARE though that the Big Island has a “coqui” problem which are invasive frogs that loudly chirp throughout the night so BRING EAR PLUGS! (A suggestion to Iris & Zach is to provide ear plugs for guests).

We enjoyed the tent camping! It had a great set-up! Outdoor kitchen and heated shower, inside toliet- all clean and stocked. Nice attention to details. Private feeling. We would stay here again! Beware- bring earplugs. With coqui frogs and farm animals, it was a noisy night.

Unplug & Rejuvenate: Bamboo Canopy
Iris and Zach's land is truly special. You will find yourself surrounded by dense vegetation and fruit trees across the whole property. The birds are very active as well, so the sounds of the outdoors are all around you. The tent we stayed in was very comfortable and included electricity and a fan in case you get a little warm at night. The community kitchen and bath house are both close by and very nice to use. There is a beautiful view of the ocean from the patio of the kitchen, with plenty of tables and chairs to sit and enjoy your meals while looking out over the water. We will definitely be visiting again in the future!

Hawaii Bamboo Grove Cabin
Amazing. This is our third stay. It never disappoints. We ended our trip at the farm to settle and truly connect to the land. We learned a lot about the islands and it was nice to spend some time processing in a such a peaceful space. Mack loves to explore the garden and let his imagination take over. Very healing for us all. It was lovely to see Zack and Iris and how the farm has evolved. Mahalo and Aloha! Mack Chris and Trudi

Jungle vibes on the Kona side
With kids ·
Garden Cottage with Ocean View
The Gingerhill Farm Retreat was exactly what our family was looking for on the Big Island - lush, jungly, off-the-grid vibes but still close to the beaches on the Kona side. We are not really resort people and enjoy being close to nature with our kiddos so this place was a great fit for us. We were welcomed warmly by a member of Iris and Zach's staff, who was attentive throughout our stay if we needed anything. Our two kids ages 9 and 12 especially loved enjoying breakfast in the outdoor kitchen, watching the farm animals, and visiting the amazing nearby Harold H. Higashihara playground. The location was convenient for our early morning snorkeling trip at Captain Cook Cove, and a welcome retreat at the end of the day. Restaurants and grocery shopping are nearby. The coqui frogs are noisy at night, but with all the windows closed, it dimmed to a white noise and sleeping was no problem. If it had been any hotter outside necessitating the windows be open, earplugs would have been handy. Overall, we really enjoyed this stay and would recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a more authentic island experience that is, as my 12 year old says, "giving Hawaii."

Episode of naked and afraid 😳
Hawaii Bamboo Grove Cabin
Didn’t really like the compost outhouse. There were no locks on the doors to the cabin. No shower curtain to the shower. Had to walk far from parking with no light pathways. The hammock was covered in bird poo. The coqui frog at night were so loud it made it so hard to sleep. It felt like they were all sitting on my pillow. I didn’t sleep there 2 of the four nights because the sound was so loud and I was getting little to no sleep.

Garden Cottage with Ocean View
The garden cottage was such a beautiful place to stay. With an outdoor shower and surrounded by an abundance of fruit, flowers and greenery, as well as the blue ocean, and the artworks inside - we left feeling inspired and restored. Our children loved the goats, chickens and pig but most of all the bright green gekos. Thank you for a magical stay.

For Nature Lovers
Garden Cottage with Ocean View
However, if you LOVE nature - if you're looking for a cross between camping and a hotel - if you like the idea of being surrounded by avacado, ginger, banana, coffee plants, palm trees and other flora, if you want to be immersed in a tropical forest soundscape at night - if that is your idea of heaven - then this is for you. We are those type of people and it was amazing and we could not give it enough praise. We stayed in the Garden Cottage with outside shower and kitchen, the room opens up on a porch (with kitchen) about 8' off the ground so there's a nice breeze and a nice view. If you like what I just wrote and want a Hawaiian experience like no other - well my friend, you've come to the right place. Zach and Iris supplied us with local coffee, a decently appointed kitchen, beautiful art, a simple but nice bathroom and wifi (although social media seems out of place here). My wife and I were in heaven. However, if you are the type of person that wants the hypoallergic, hyperclean, sterile environment of a hotel with a TV and a microwave and without any evidence of insects or wildlife, and you just want to look at nature but don't want it too close (like in a zoo) THIS IS NOT for you. We, however, are definitely coming back.

We loved our cabin and the GingerHill Farm with their animals. Pig is awesome. We had light and electricity in the cabin that was very convenient for us. The kitchen is great and big, you can watch sunsets on it. We loved the location, close to Kona and not far from the beaches
