The price, location, and photos, when compared to much of the competition, made Orchid Tree seem too good to be true. I trusted tripadvisor, booked it anyway, and was glad I did. Steve and Su were wonderful hosts, and Orchid Tree B&B met my high expectations. The Koi Suite? Spacious and spotless, with a magnificent shower. The bed? Plush and... More

It's probably a sign you're at a great bed and breakfast when you walk in and don't want to leave -- no matter what you have planned. Orchid Tree inspires such feelings -- one glimpse at the amazing backyard and I just wanted to relax and soak it all in. We stayed in a large suite with two beds --... More

My Wife and I stayed with Steve and Su for 2 nights on our honeymoon and we were overwhelmed by The Orchid Tree. Our only regret is that we didn't stay for longer. The room we stayed in was spacious, very well decorated with a big and comfy bed. Every morning Steve prepared the most delicious plate of fresh fruit... More

Wow, this B&B does live up to its rave reviews. It is just outside of the downtown area and a 2 minute walk to a very beautiful surfing beach. Our room (Hula room) was very nice, clean and exactly what we needed, plus a little more (the private living room area was a nice surprise). There is also a gorgeous... More

Deserving of number one on Tripadvisor. We felt like we were staying with our favourite family as we were welcomed to a very comfortable and spacious home. We were able to enjoy the communal areas unencumbered - pool, jacuzzi and outdoor lounging area. Additionally, there was ample quality reading material about the region, along with the privilege for guests, that... More

The room we had was massive and very comfortable. There's an amazingly pretty communal area outside too. Thankfully the plumbing is rock solid, because with all the fresh fruit Steve serves for breakfast, it needs to be! Only thing worth considering is that it's a few miles out of town and a car is required to get into Hilo.

ent 2 weeks on the island of Hawaii and sampled several of the B&B's on the island. If you get a chance to drive around the island and stay at some of the B&B's on the island you are in for a treat. I really enjoyed Lilikoi even if I will never be able to pronounce the name. I don't... More

Don't think where to go - just book Orchid Tree right away! We are travelling around the word and have already been to a lot of nice places but non of them was like this before. Orchid Tree is a home fare away from home - we are still here and don't ever want to leave. Steve & Sue are... More
