Kealakekua hotel guide. Independent hotel in Kealakekua, Hawaii

"Fell in love with this hotel. Small yet charming, with brand-new facilities, stunning views, easy parking, and a great central location close to everywhere. There are also several nice restaurants nearby."

"Excellent service! Breakfast was the Bombshell! "

"Our stay at Gingerhill Farm Retreat was a unique and grounding experience. We stayed in the Bamboo cabin with an outdoor kitchen, shower, and sink, all supplied with propane and warm water, along with a clean compost toilet. The space was designed as an open lanai, allowing for natural cross-ventilation. We never needed the fan. The cabin was surrounded by lush vegetation, with the sounds of the jungle creating a vivid atmosphere at night and in the early morning. The common areas include a terrace overlooking the ocean beyond the tree line, offering beautiful sunset views. The staff was attentive and supportive throughout our stay. We also had the honor of meeting the owner, Ms. Mayumi Oda, often referred to as the “Matisse of Japan,” whose vision promotes healthy living and environmental awareness. This experience offered a rare balance between natural living and everyday comfort. It felt less like a stay and more like an immersion into a different way of being."

"Restaurant was delicious, lots of options, the free mai tais were a plus, pool area was very comfortable and pretty, rooms were clean and comfortable "

"Everything was fantastic. Most notable was how accommodating the staff were. "

"Apt was fabulous: clean, comfortable, spacious, and modern. The portable AC unit had a locking device on it so we weren't able to cool down the apartment. We made good use of the ceiling fans and pedestal fan. We had a difficult time finding the apartment within the complex. Now that we have some idea of the complex layout, we'd stay at this place again."

"All good!"

"Overall this is nice property 8/10. Clean well manicured botanical grounds with a quiet large patio area with AMAZING SUSNET Views. Soothing crashing waves all day and night however NO immediate ocean swimming or beach access (drive / walk for that) No onsite food / bar NOT GOOD was having to punch in a 6 to10 digit code on a keypad EVERY TIME FOR EVERY pool gate, the 1 elevator and our condo door. With multiple people in our group this became VERY frustrating. Been decades since we have stayed anywhere without a key card / digital entry. First desk staff contact with a male employee 👎 was dismissive and unpleasant to say the least. He was flat out RUDE however the 2 ladies later that afternoon were Fantastic! No parking issues and this location and it is about a 5 minute drive to all the local shops, restaurants / bars and night life. Would stay here again but only after exploring other priorities in the Kona area. "
