Hulili Tropical Fruit Farm- With over 200 five star reviews!

*If your dates aren't available, please check out our new listing #1355789 or our new Treehouse listing #4108089*
Opened for guests in 2010, the original HULILI FARM COTTAGE (pronounced who-lee-lee) has welcomed so many wonderful guests that it became time to enable more people to enjoy the farm. Please check out our Pineapple Cottage listing (#1355789) to see which cottage best suits your needs.
Guests rave about the 'SWEEPING, UNSPOILED, TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY VIEW' in every direction! The sun and moon rise over the ocean as you watch the wonders unfold from your comfy rocking chair OR swinging bed on the lanai. Birdsong is the beautiful sound track on this private farm located at the end of a dead end country road. Relax as you walk through the orchards and please, sample the fruit...that's when it is best!
The COTTAGE is bright, clean, and furnished with all you will need. The 'BAMBOO SLEEPING CHAMBER' offers a KING size 'sleep number' bed with dual controls for firmness. A FULL size futon is inside, and outside on the LANAI is the QUEEN size 'HANGING BED'. (This bed has become a favorite with our guests, who sleep, nap, read and talk while swaying in the breeze, taking in the beauty.) Walk-in shower and pedestal sink in the cottage bath. Laundry facilities, with all supplies, are available for our guests and just steps away from the cottage.
A huge AVOCADO tree hugs the patio next to the lanai. We have named her, MS. CADDO. You may taste her fruits in season and almost always there will be a stalk of 'apple' bananas hanging from her branches. Bring some groceries and you are ready to settle in.
We encourage you to take the time to read our GUEST COMMENTS. They paint a true picture of their stay at Hulili Farm. Here is seclusion, peace and quiet on a tropical farm 'paradise'.
The ultimate guidebook: 'HAWAII, THE BIG ISLAND REVEALED' is in the cottage for your use while exploring.

While most guests come to the farm to get away from their busy lives, for those who still want to maintain some connection, we have recently updated our internet and now offer fiber-internet on the farm. But we won’t tell your boss that!


Have fun!
Our Aloha,
Todd and Madeleine

The hosts are great and the accommodations are truly amazing! If you like staying off the beaten path then this is for you. Private, well maintained, central to roads for travel around the island, and numerous fresh, fantastic tasting organic fruit:). Thus is my second time staying and would most certainly return if Hawaii calls again.

Everything was amazing! Ginger cottage was adorable and perfect for our family of 4, everyone was extremely kind and it was wonderful to be able to rome around the property. My 4 yr old loved runing down to the longan orchard everyday to eat until he was sticky. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place or kinder hosts!

This was one of the best places we’ve stayed at. Madeline is an amazing host but really if you’re looking for a quiet, beautiful place to enjoy, this is the place. Views in the morning were spectacular. Unbelievably quiet (minus the frogs). Make sure to follow the directions provided and you’ll have no hard time finding the place. If we ever make it back to the big island we will definitely be staying there again!! Thank you Madeline and family for the great stay!

We could have sat in the rocking chairs on the lanai and watched the changing of the view and the birds the entire time we were in Hawai'i and there would not have been a single wasted minute. Of course, we ran all over the island, always happy to return home to this cozy and comfortable farm 'cottage'. Everything was clean and in good working order -- and since I know you're wondering, the WiFi was excellent -- with a smart TV in the living room and the bedroom, as well as a collection of DVDs. We had daily visits from the farm chickens who occasionally left us a fresh egg. The farm is close to a number of wonderfully scenic places -- like Akaka Falls and the (walking) road down into the valley/beach past the old sugar mill just a few minutes away across the highway. Hilo also has a lot of good restaurants, shops and farmers/craft markets, as well as swimming beaches like Carlsmith Park. The hosts have a very helpful and brief book they put together pointing toward area attractions, in addition to having an excellent full-island guidebook in the cottage.
Sunrise from the rocking chairs on the lanai - we got up early every day to watch/hear the night shift to day.

Quiet, end of the road, fruit farm. Most of the time you could only hear birds and frogs. Occasionally there was some farm equipment noise and mowing. Very safe. Owners live behind and there are other cottages on the property, but it is all arranged so you feel like you are the only one there. Easy drive to many things to see. Clean and comfortable. Friendly owners respected my privacy.
