About this property
Hulili Tropical Fruit Farm - Pineapple Cottage
Opened for guests in 2010, the original HULILI FARM COTTAGE (pronounced who-lee-lee) has welcomed so many wonderful guests that it became time to enable more people to enjoy the farm. Introducing Pineapple Cottage! Please check out our reviews for the original cottage (listing #269536) and our new Treehouse (listing #4108089) to see which cottage best suits your needs.
Guests rave about the 'SWEEPING, UNSPOILED, TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY VIEW' in every direction! The sun and moon rise over the ocean as you watch the wonders unfold from your comfy rocking chair OR swinging bed on the lanai. Birdsong is the beautiful sound track on this private farm located at the end of a dead end country road. Relax as you walk through the orchards and please, sample the when it is best!
The COTTAGE is bright, clean, and newly furnished with all you will need. The master suite offers a KING size 'sleep number' bed with dual controls for firmness. A FULL size futon is inside, and outside on the LANAI is the QUEEN size 'HANGING BED'. (This bed has become a favorite with our guests, who sleep, nap, read and talk while swaying in the breeze, taking in the beauty.) Walk-in shower and pedestal sink in the cottage bath. Laundry facilities, with all supplies, are available for our guests and just steps away from the cottage.
Behind the cottage is our citrus grove, where lemons, limes and oranges can be found in abundance, while the lychee orchard drops off in front of you. There’s almost always a stalk of “apple” bananas hanging on the lanai, and don’t forget the pineapples growing along one side. Bring some groceries and you are ready to settle in.
We encourage you to take the time to read our 160 FIVE STAR REVIEWS for our original listing. They paint a true picture of their stay at Hulili Farm. Here is seclusion, peace and quiet on a tropical farm 'paradise'.
The ultimate guidebook: 'HAWAII, THE BIG ISLAND REVEALED' is in the cottage for your use while exploring.
While most guests come to the farm to get away from their busy lives, for those who still want to maintain some connection, we have recently updated our internet and now offer fiber-internet on the farm. But we won’t tell your boss that!
Have fun!
Our Aloha,
Todd and Madeleine

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It's charming and the view is awesome. Fresh homemade muffins awaited us and fruit was delivered to the porch -- a tropical fruit we'd never tried or heard of! Handy laundry only a few steps away. GREAT location! Feels so private! We enjoyed several BEAUTIFUL sunrises from the swinging outside bed. Magical. Nice bedroom inside too. Lots of hot water and water pressure. Fully equipped kitchen. Only about 20 minutes from Hilo. Plenty of TV channels and strong internet connection. LOVED IT!

Loved the serenity and beauty of the setting, and the guidance on the wonderful fruits on the farm! Communication and welcome from Madeleine was excellent, despite her and her family being away for the duration of our stay. A beautiful spot, well maintained, with lots of thoughtful touches. We loved having breakfast with the geckos, the duck, the dogs and Winston the cat! Only one small suggestion for improvement - a larger/more effective mosquito net for the outdoor bed would be appreciated! Overall a fantastic stay.

A great stay on Hawaii’s East Side
A beautiful, quiet, comfortable cottage, and accommodating, thoughtful hosts. Nuff said!

About the host
Hosted by Madeleine Loewen
Todd and Madeleine Loewen are the caretakers and cottage keepers here at Hulili.
A full time farm, Hulili grows tropical fruits called longan (lawn-gone) and lychee (lie-chee) on a large scale, however there are also many other fruits that grow on the farm throughout the year. There are appx. 8 acres in orchard. The remaining acreage holds house, barn, cottage and an enormous 'front yard'.

Why they chose this property
We were delighted with the 'end of the road' location, and the undeveloped, unspoiled view of the ocean and surrounding country. The 500 foot elevation means better view and pleasant breezes. The land has a gentle slope toward the orchards and ocean. The surrounding open spaces land makes it seem as if we are on hundreds of acres.
What makes this property unique
There is the feeling of being the only people on the island. With such privacy and space, we enjoy outside living morning to night! Mornings on the lanai as you watch the sunrise over the Pacific are incredible, as are the evening sunset colors and moonrise. We have less rain than Hilo and enjoy tropical trade winds that keep us cooler in the summer than in town.
Beautiful awe-inspiring location and a short drive from all that the Big Island has to offer, make for a perfect vacation!
