Paradise Cottage at Anthurium Hale

Absolutely beautiful little space, gorgeous garden, cute set up. There were snacks set out for us, including coffee, the little kitchenette was super equipped for any basic cooking. I look forward to visiting again! It was quite secluded, and lovely to just sit on the porch having a cup of coffee in the morning. The bathroom is equipped with a lot of oft-forgotten bits, hydrogen peroxide, shampoo/conditioner, earplugs, even a little fan if the humidity is too much. It's a small space but well put together and thought-out!

Nobody's fault! Because you cannot control wildlife, but it should be warned that the coqui frogs and the roosters are very loud at night and at dawn, respectively. There are earplugs in the bathroom closet for this if it's a problem. After a night or two the frogs become white noise, but the roosters, omg, a nuisance that everyone has to put up with, locals included. I would still stay here any time, it was delightful, but the warning is good to have. It's a tropical island, so be extra fastidious about cleaning food and dishes and taking out the garbage to avoid attracting bugs. There is no AC, but you don't need it if you keep the windows open for a nice cross breeze.

A small appartment but very well equipped. A very beautiful garden in front of the room. We enjoy the dinner in the small terrace to hear the bird singing, and look at the flowers when the sunset come.

This is a great little house with everything so nicely put together. It offers so much what a long term vacation housing should be. What's most impressive part of this house is its beautiful garden! We enjoyed so much of having breakfast in the porch; one morning having sun light coming through the tropical garden plants, while another morning being shielded from light rain.

The shower unit is too small, but it still works well.

All kitchen appliances and utensils, the decoration, the garden and all the nice details.

The bed is too small

It was very conveniently located to attractions I visited without being in the center of them. It was a very quiet neighborhood and felt very private. Jean’s attention to detail and thoughtful touches made the experience special.

No A/C was fine but would be rough during very hot months. Also, I didn’t mind the coqui frogs but those could be too noisy for some people.

Lovely setting had everything we needed. Beautiful garden.

Loved being surrounded by all the orchids and other flowering plants. Well suited for staying a few days. Safe location.

A delightful little cottage that makes one feel like you are in a tropical jungle! So many gorgeous tropical plants, the koi pond, ferns, et al. Clean, tidy and just lovely! The cottage has everything you need incl a small kitchen area and living room. The beds is very comfy. The ceiling fans cool the place well. Our Host was wonderful - she had placed beautiful fresh flowers in our room along with a selection of lovely tasty tidbits, coconut water, bottled water and Hawaiian coffee. So very welcoming! This place is only a ~10min drive to Hilo and very close to the highways to get your destinations such as the botanical garden, the volcano, et al. Highly recommended

Nothing!

Jean was very thoughtful and the room has fresh flowers and snacks prepared with even sunscreen and bug spray in the bath closet.

It’s a lovely garden with lots of little birds and reptile calling it home. So if you enjoy hearing the jungle sound as you doze to bed then it’s the place for you.
