About this property
Royal Palm Cottage/5 mins from beach/Akaka Falls/Private Lanai
Situated on an 8.5 acre exotic fruit farm along the Hamakua Coast, Royal Palm Cottage will provide you real feeling of Hawaii country living. A view of Mauna Kea greets you as you drive up Chin Chuck Road, known for the well manicured, 10 acre farm lots. As you enter the estate you will marvel at the breathtaking views of mature Royal Palms, 30 foot tall Black Bamboo, ocean views and many tropical Hawaiian flowers. Famed Akaka Falls State park is just 6 miles away. The night skies are perfect for stargazing. As the sun rises, common country sounds of rain, roosters, cows, birds, owls, hawks, coqui frogs & dogs can be heard. We have a designated path with chairs set up for watching the sun rise. A boarding dog Kennel shares a portion of the property. Barking can be heard 8-10 am during feeding times or if wild pigs are roaming. It is best if our guests are lovers of dogs, man's best friend.
The evenings are perfect for star gazing thru the royal palms.

About the host
Hosted by Laurel Smithson
I am born and raised in Hawaii. My husband Kalani and I love to travel the world and meet new people. We wanted to share a bit of paradise with our guests. Note a dog boarding kennel shares the property.We are the original owner of the property. Built the home and cottage. Planted all trees, orchards and landscape ourselves. Our labor of love. Hawaii is where we call home. The Royal Palm Cottage is New, built in August 2019.
Why they chose this property
The road we live on is quite historic. Sugar cane used to be planted on this section of Chin Chuck Road. The soil is very fertile and most of the property is home to over 200 exotic fruit trees. Lychee, Rambuton, Mangosteen, Mango, Papaya and Atemoya. The parcels are mostly10 acres and are well maintained and most have agriculture zoning. Many fruit orchards and farms line both sides of the road. It is a breath of fresh air. On a brisk winter morning, you can see Mauna Kea and the telescopes on a snow capped mountain. When you drive down the road, you may see a whale spouting in the ocean.
What makes this property unique
15 miles from Hilo town with not even one stop light along the way. Beautiful coast line drive in both directions along highway 19. 500 foot elevation keeps us cool with tradewind breezes, well maintained Farm style neighborhood. Tuesday's we have a Hakalau Farmer's market that hosts live music and local farmers with their produce baked goods and crafts. We also have 2 ladies from Thailand making delicious pad Thai, green paypaya salad and curries right there on site. Lots of new and old farmers join together to add to Hakalau's charm.
