In the 2 weeks that I stayed on the farm, I was able to immerse myself in the beauty and power of nature, relaxing and so nourishing for body and soul. A place where you can connect with the heart of Mother Earth and let yourself be filled with her energies, which can be felt so strongly here and make everything bloom and thrive in abundance. The hosts Iris and Zech live and work here consciously, in devotion to nature and create an atmosphere of respect, trust and peace. I felt very safe there. Zech and Iris along with their team are very good, helpful and generous hosts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

The cabin was clean upon arrival. The bed is extremely comfortable. The cabin is surrounded by the Hawaiian jungle which we loved. We enjoyed gorgeous sunsets over the ocean from the lanai/kitchen. It was really great to be cooking dinner outside while watching a sunset. The bed is actually a King rather than a Queen. We really enjoyed our stay but that's because we really enjoy being close to nature. We did find geckos and mosquitos and worms in the cabin occasionally but that's what happens when you're not trying to seal yourself off from nature. I recommend this place for the more adventurous couple/family. If you're looking for an air conditioned or heated, bug-free accommodation, this is not for you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ginger Hill Farm. The cabin was quaint, secluded, the bed comfortable, and met all our needs. Beautiful sunsets from the lanai. Location was close to everything in South Kona. All Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Zak and Iris are very knowledgeable about sustainable agriculture in Hawaii and enjoy sharing. We will definitely plan a return trip! Thanks!

Had an issue with vrbo double booking our desired rental, and therefore we did not get the exact experience we were hoping for, but we still enjoyed our stay. My suggestion, make sure you contact Zach before your vacation to make sure this does not happen to you. I would still absolutely recommend the place, it is serene and beautiful, and perfect for folks with a love for mother earth.

Our stay at Gingerhills Farm and Retreat was everything and more! The house and amenities were perfect, the property was beautiful and the hosts were so kind and attentive. I have stayed in many Air BnBs and VRBO locations, but this one tops them all; I wish we could have stayed longer!

Great secluded location close to all our favorite Kona beaches. The outdoor kitchen and outdoor shower are perfect in the tropical garden setting. Love the simplicity of the garden cottage layout surrounded by Papaya, orange, lemon and lime trees. Getting a personal tour of the working garden by Zack was a highlight.

The Garden Cottage at Gingerhill Farm Retreat was a great place to stay. The beautiful gardens, tranquil setting, fantastic original artwork, organic and off-the-grid vibe, complete privacy, well stocked lanai kitchen and distant ocean and sunset views made it a lovely place to spend the day or return to after a busy day. All this, plus it's in a great area with endless opportunities to hike, shop, snorkel, eat, listen to music, check out farmers markets and coffee farms, and eat more. Iris, Zack and Spam the cat were great hosts; friendly, ready to help out and answer questions and provided the cottage with their own delicious fresh fruit and local coffee. Early morning yoga was the best! I would return here on my next trip to the Big Island without hesitation. Mahalo nui!

The cabin is clean, light, and private, filled with art created by the painter Mayumi Oda, who started the farm seventeen years ago. We enjoyed the nightly symphonies of crickets and frogs and the daily songs from multitudes of birds, plus the great ocean view. We appreciated the tour of the grounds that Mayumi's son Zach gave us, showing us the many varieties of fruits and vegetables cultivated over the years. The family has built a unique, Zen-infused paradise, and we will surely return.

Clean, comfortable, private and peaceful. I've stayed at high end resorts, condos, well appointed homes and other cottages on the Big Island and in the future if I want to be anywhere near Kona this is where I'd definitely want to be. Hosts are hands off but available for any questions or needs and made me feel welcome. This is a very low key, chill place in a beautiful location.

mahalo to gingerhill 'ohana. keeping it beautiful, serene, real. Love the aesthetics, love the view, the simple and elegent solutions, loved the shower! Sad about coqui, so much to learn, heading back soon.
