"It was one of my best stays in all of my travels and vacations in the past few years. I originally only planned one night but stayed one more night. The view from the guesthouse’s lanai is incredibly beautiful and the guesthouse was well-designed and decorated with heart. The room was clean. Most importantly, the staffs welcomed me like a friend. I thank all of the hosts especially Mike, who not only gave me a very detailed tour when I arrived, but also recommended me some places to visit near the area, which I totally enjoyed them. Lastly, I forgot to mention the awesome breakfast they provided. It was so delicious, especially when eating in a setting with the ocean view from the lanai."
"Our stay at Gingerhill Farm in Hawaii was a truly unique experience and the perfect retreat. If you're looking for something comfortable and memorable outside of the traditional resort stay, this is it.
The outdoor shower and open-air kitchen were absolute highlights—they made us feel immersed in the beautiful surroundings while still having everything we needed. The property is filled with lush gardens, blooming ginger, and vibrant tropical plants that create a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. We also loved spotting the friendly geckos throughout the property, which added to the authentic island experience.
A wonderful bonus was discovering the beautiful artwork by Mayumi Oda displayed throughout the property. Her vibrant, nature-inspired prints complemented the peaceful setting perfectly and added another layer of inspiration to our stay.
If you appreciate nature, tranquility, and a one-of-a-kind place to stay, Gingerhill Farm is a wonderful choice!"
"There was a broken chair on the lanai, a broken handle on the master shower door, the kitchen wasn't quite as stocked as I would have liked but overall, we loved the location, loved the lodging, we had a wonderful stay and would choose that booking again. We're very thankful."

8/10 Good
"The cabin is cool and surrounded by nature. The communication with the host went smoothly. All went well. Only two areas for improvement: towels were thin and small and the pillows were uncomfortable."
