Garden Home at Botanical World Adventures Two Bedroom Three bathroom

Hale Mala Pua (Garden Home) is the perfect place for family and friends to gather or for a romantic getaway on the stunning Hamakua Coast. This spacious plantation house (2,200 square feet) is located just north of Hilo in the lush and tropical Gardens at Botanical World Adventures in Hakalau. Two (2) Bedroooms each with their own full en-suite bathroom, one of them a has a futon for sleeping 1 or 2 more people, 2 1/2 Bathrooms, Gourmet Kitchen with enormous refrigerator/ freezer , Living Room & Covered Lanai with ocean views. Access to World Botanical Gardens included when Gardens are open for all days of your stay. Fruit Orchard & plenty of outdoor space.

The 2 En-suites are perfect for a couple on a romantic trip, a family with kids or anybody just longing for privacy. Great for the couple wanting a wedding in the gardens with their honeymoon retreat awaiting on the property. This home is very clean and tastefully decorated. For your cooking pleasure the kitchen is fully stocked and open to the inside dining area so that you can prepare meals while you socialize.

The home is on separate three (3) acres of the World Botanical Gardens that are exquisitely manicured for your use. You will experience life in the Gardens between your Hawaiian adventures.

Walk in the large fruit orchards and learn about the plants in the gardens. Watch the sunrise or whales jump while you eat your breakfast on the lanai. Wander the gardens and your private domain at your leisure. Or just relax and enjoy life in the rain forest.

The living room has a 65" Samsung Ultra HD, 4K flat screen TV and DVD player and a few DVDs for your entertainment. Watch TV or the Pacific Ocean from the comfort of the couch. Each bedroom also have 40" flat screens. The owners have also provided DirecTV satellite with movie channels and air-conditioning.

There are guided zip line, Segway and walking tours at the gardens for an array of fun just outside your front door.

Excellent property

This house is very well stocked, the kitchen has everything you need and more. The listing mentions split AC units in the bedrooms but there is also an additional unit in the common area so the entire house is very comfortable. The screened in lanai is a great place for breakfast.

A slice of paradise

We stayed here because it is close to family and are so glad we did! Very well equipped and comfortable home in a quiet setting. The kitchen is one of the best equipped ones we’ve ever had. Not only are the cooking pots and pans of high quality, but there were lots of condiments and ingredients available too. The furniture is of a nice quality and the house was impeccably clean.

Home near Hilo: peaceful, comfortable, well-maintained, very clean, and conveniently close to town. The house is equipped with all the desired comforts. The lanai was our favorite spot to enjoy morning coffee. Our stay was delightful. Highly recommended!

Private Paradise

Our family of 4 (2 adult kids) enjoyed the spacious house and yard. The kitchen and house was fully equipped with everything we needed and more. We even picked tangerines and used the electric juicer. The orchids and foliage surrounding the property was absolutely beautiful. Definitely would recommend staying here. This was the best staycation (from Oahu) and will book again in the future!!

Wonderful house in beautiful location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this great house. The kitchen was huge and filled with everything you could need. The beds were comfortable and the house was immaculate. We loved sitting out on the lanai and listening to the coqui frogs. The gardens are outstanding! We walked around multiple times and saw so many different flowers and varieties of plants. The orchids were gorgeous. We did not want to leave this beautiful place! Highly recommend.

A taste of paradise

The place exceeded our expectations in pretty much every way. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well appointed and stocked with cooking supplies (including well stocked teas), the lanai was great for eating outside or relaxing on comfortable furniture (a member of our party fell sick and preferred recouping outside), and being next to the Botanical Adventure gardens. We enjoyed walking the property among the lemon drop mango orchard, banana plants, mango tree, cacao tree, red sealing wax palms, plumerias, ... From the place we also saw a small indian mongoose, mourning and gold dust day geckos, common mynas, northern and yellow-billed cardinals, and saffron finches. Now we are telling our friends, "if you ever go to the big island of Hawaii, we have a place recommendation :-)"

Peaceful Garden Paradise

We had a quite peaceful stay at the Garden Home at Botanical World Adventures. We enjoyed walking around the property looking at the different varieties of plants. We found some fruit on the ground that we were able to enjoy. We loved the massive well stocked kitchen. It was a great place to kick back relax and do nothing. The property had the at home feeling we all love to experience on our vacations. The property was far enough from Hilo to hide from the world, and close enough to take advantage of what the city has to offer. Be sure to enjoy what the area has to offer.

Private and Tranquil

We loved the week we spent here. It was a bit out of the way from some activities on the island, but they call it The Big Island for a reason. We really value our privacy when traveling and this property delivered. We didn’t even realize when booking that it was on the Botanical Garden which was awesome as we got to enjoy exploring the gardens and decided to do the zip line. The home has everything you need, comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen, and lots of space. We especially enjoyed evenings eating dinner in the cool of the night on the lanai. A lot of rentals on the island don’t have AC, so huge feature there. The only disappointment was initial cleanliness. There was dust buildup on all the light switches - a small detail that tells a lot about the care taken during the cleaning process. There was also a damp stanky towel that had been left in the washer for Probably a week. It took a while for the smell to come out of the machine. That being said, the property management staff were very responsive and took care of things quickly including fixing a shower that wasn’t draining. We’d definitely come back even with the issues due to staff responsiveness, the beauty of the property, and the privacy and amenities.

Aloha Perfection

Perfection sums up this beautiful, comfortable and exceptionally clean home. The photos don’t do the interior or exterior justice. A large and well appointed kitchen with every thing one could ever imagine to prepare meals, including basics & spices for your use. Dinning room is spacious but meals, morning coffee or an evening glass of wine on the screened Lani quick became our favorite! Bedrooms & bathrooms were large, clean & we slept so good every night of our stay. We also appreciated the large laundry with new washer & dryer. This home is surrounded by beauty and so many species of flowers & trees, the fruit trees are abundant. Communications for directions to this property and entry into this home were clear and easy to follow. Access to the gardens of Botanical World Adventures was a bonus and we highly recommend taking time to participate in the activities offered. Multiple times we walked the property both of the home & across the street and always saw new flowers, trees, critters. We throughly enjoyed the zip line adventure, it was certainly a highlight for us & the staff at BWA were professional & fun. Icing on the cake to our stay. We hope to return one day & once again stay in this lively Garden Hime, we have told so many others about this property already and highly recommend staying here to enjoy the Big Island, a perfect Home Base to explore from!

Very quiet location a short drive from Hilo. Beautiful grounds filled with fruit trees, charming birds, and the coqui frogs will relax you at night. The screened-in lanai is airy with ceiling fans and you will enjoy every spare moment out there or even a nap. Spacious well equipped kitchen and brand new appliances throughout. Many great snorkeling adventures in Hilo make great day trips. Check out the Tuesday night traditional Hawaiian music at the Hilo Town Tavern.
