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.

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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Walter

Host profile image
BWA LLC is the owner of Botanical World Adventures and the World Botanical Gardens. The partners became involved in the gardens over 15 years ago due to the beauty and size of the collection of plants.

Coming from families of farmers, ornamental horticulturists, real estate, construction and Future Farmers of America, the owners have a true spirit of the land - "the Aina". They have worked on farms, in greenhouses, tractor shops and many other ag and land related businesses.

In October 2013 the partners acquired the gardens and all the assets. "We have been investing in this project since we had contact with it and look at the Garden Home as another adventure in the gardens."

Why they chose this property

The opportunity of sharing the gardens this intimately after our Garden Director left this home was inspiring to the partners. This place has magical properties and we enjoy sharing it in this amazing "in the gardens" experience. A wander through the fruit, flowers and spices is a journey through the amazing Hawaiian history.

What makes this property unique

You are literally in the World Botanical Gardens and have free access to them throughout your stay. Air conditioning in the living room and each bedroom on warm days is so soothing. Furthermore, you also receive kama'aina pricing for any of the Botanical World Adventures (zip lines, Segways, etc). Stay a week and you get a free tour! "Our staff members are your hosts, they are committed to assuring you have an enjoyable experience as our guest."
