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

Excellent Second Visit
This was our second stay at the Pineapple Cottage and it was just as magical as the first. We spent hours lounging on the hanging bed on the lanai and eating fresh fruit and poke bowls. It was just the relaxing stay we needed!

Gorgeous property that is so relaxing and close to lots of great things to see. I cannot express how very relaxing it was to stay there. Of your looking for quiet and peaceful this is the place. The cabin was stocked with several condiments and all the dishes you need to cook. The laundry area had detergent and dryer sheet for free to use. The showers have everything you need. The animals are great and there is several fruit trees to pick from. We had a lemon for our chicken, and an orange for breakfast, straight from the tree! It is out of town, so a car is a must, but that was my favorite part! Thanks to the beautiful hosts for sharing their land with strangers!

Paradise Found
My husband and I so enjoyed our stay in the Pineapple Cottage at Hulili Farm. While the location made sight-seeing around the island easy, we often opted to stay in and enjoy the sound of the rain on the roof and the sway of the hanging bed on the lanai. We hope to come back again soon!

Exceeded expectations! Great value and experience
We knew we were going to have a great time after booking this cottage. We didn't expect all the thoughtful small details the host provided! There was a small cooler available that we packed lunches in and umbrellas that were very much appreciated! The cottage was clean and the farm was beautiful! So glad we chose to stay here.

Relaxing & quiet
We loved our stay in the Pineapple Cottage! Such a unique place to stay after being in a condo on the Kona side of the Big Island. The hosts we very friendly and offered fruit from their farm. The pictures on the VRBO site match the actual cottage & farm. If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful & out of the city property to stay at, this is the place. It's about 20 minutes from Hilo and an hour from Volacano National Park. I would highly recommend!

We enjoyed out stay at the pineapple cottage. It was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. The pictures are accurate. We were amused by all the animals and birds on the property. It was very peaceful and private. The view is breathtaking. The property is located only 20 minutes from Hilo. We would definitely rent this cottage again and will highly recommend it to others.

Loved Hulili Farm!
This is the place to stay on the East side of the Big Island, especially if you don't want to be in town or at a resort. Very relaxing, peaceful, and beautiful. The wild pigs that run through the property eating lychees are especially fun, and the sunrises from atop the hill on the lanai are spectacular.
