About this apartment rental
Gingerhill Farm is located on five acres of organic orchards and gardens nestled just above famous Kealakekua Bay. We offer serenity and escape mere minutes away from local restaurants and shops.
The Sunset Suite is a large room in the main house with private bathroom and shower. It has a queen and a twin bed. Relax on the deck in the evenings as you enjoy breathtaking images of the sun setting over the Pacific.
Take a stroll through our gardens and then marvel at the sunset from one of various scenic decks. Hike down to Kealakekua Bay and swim with the Dolphins. Gingerhill Farm offers an exotic escape from the hustle and bustle of 21st century living.
In our commitment to promoting transparency we would like to say that there is more to sustainable agriculture than whether you use chemical fertilizer or organic pellets. Here at Gingerhill Farm we heed our role as stewards of the land and commit to practices which improve the health of our acreage year after year. This means we spray no insecticides or herbicides. It also means that in Hawaii, a subtropical island, we experience intervals of mosquito or termite pressure. Resonant Coqui frogs, native to Puerto Rico, sing at night and sound like crickets. We consider these players as part of our ecosystem, and strive to maintain a balance. Our grounds are beautiful and fertile, partly tamed and partly wild. We ask that guests understand these dynamics and book accordingly.

We loved our stay in this uniquely quiet, fecund, friendly and beautiful spot. Our space was lovely and well-appointed, Sylvia was a competent and beyond-friendly host and we delighted in all the fruit trees, flowers and most especially, the animals. We hope to return and offer all the bright beings of Gingerhill Farm our aloha and mahalo.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Gingerhill Farm. The room was spacious with the beautiful view over the garden and the ocean - perfect place to watch Sunsets. Iris and Zach welcomed us with fruits and eggs from their farm; this was a perfect snack after a long flight.
We were worried about mosquitoes, haven't had a single bite around our room and patio. I did find some mosquitoes around the area with the chicken when the local cat was showing me around the place.
The location was perfect for us. It is close to all the main snorkeling spots: 5 mins from the trail to Captain Cook Monument, 15 mins to Two Steps and Kahalu'u Park. It's close to some great restaurant, but it feels very quiet and remote. I loved the sound of frogs and beautiful starry skies on a clear night. We would love to come back next time we are visiting big island.

One of the best views on the island
We enjoyed a very special week at GingerHill in February. The room was clean, bright, and spacious. Despite being very close to town, the environment is quiet and reminiscent of old Hawaii. The best feature is sitting on the deck and gazing upon the distant ocean through gorgeous, gorgeous landscaping! Mayomi, Zach, and Lisa were particularly kind and friendly hosts. This will absolutely be our first choice when we return. Mahalo.

Peaceful setting
We were welcomed to this peaceful setting by the owner. Our bedroom overlooked a beautiful setting and our shared kitchen was adequate for our needs. The private shower was hot and the bathroom was clean and functional. The owner was very gentle and provided us with pots and pans to fix our dinner and pleasant conversation and information. The isolated location provided privacy and the night sky was beautiful with no ambient light to interfere with star gazing. An enjoyable stay with adequate parking. Local farmers market nearby and a zen ambiance in effect at this rental. I would stay here again.

You get a large bedroom with a double bed and a single bed with a very nice bathroom. The room is attached to the house and some house noises come through. Looks right out onto the ocean from 1500 feet or so up. Chairs are available if you ask.This is an active and beautiful 4 acre organic farm and for us much of the appeal came from chances to talk to the proprietors, interns and guests and to see some of the artwork of Mayumi Oda who founded the farm 15 years ago.For an extra $40 per day you can participate in the program, which includes meditation, breakfast, work on the farm, yoga, and lunch. We didnt choose to do this, and it really is just another option for your stay.Everyone was very friendly and the setting is wonderful. It is close to all of the sights along the southern Kona coast, e.g. the Painted Church, Peace Garden and Place of Sanctuary.

Lovely farm, quiet, peaceful, loved watching sunsets. Access to cooking facility might have been nice also. It was a little hard to find, maybe a sign on the gate to know we are there. Overall a very pleasant and relaxing experience. Thank you

Staying on the farm was lovely. I would've given 5 stars except that the shower in the suite was clogged and quickly filled with water. Otherwise, the hosts were nice, easygoing, and helpful, and we had a great stay.

Tranquil, peaceful, Big Island Farmstay - a Hawaiian vacation without the rush and the chaos.
When my husband, my daughter and I planned our vacation to Hawaii we were searching for something special, something that did not make us feel like time-limited tourists. We found Big Island Farmstay to be that special place. The peace and quiet...the stars at night...in the morning, the sound of Roosters crowing in the distance. Waking up to see the ocean peering through the tranquility of the lush vegetation made us feel like we slept in a botanical garden. Beautiful, tropical, and green. The owner most graciously offered us fruit from her garden...there is nothing like a banana or a papaya fresh picked. A good place for the soul and to experience the true meaning of Aloha.
