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. More

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

My husband and I were celebrating our honeymoon and spent the first three days here. It was one of our favorite places to stay. We stayed in the continental suite which was very roomy and well decorated. Breakfasts were amazing! Everyone morning we were excited to enjoy our fresh fruit platter (by far our favorite breakfast throughout our stay in... More

Our family of 3 spent 3 nights here and easy could have stayed longer. Our huge room with two beds and refrigerator was great. But even better was the huge, lovely lanai with wicker chairs, dining table and a hot tub. Next to it was a swimming pool. Our son rented a surfboard in town at a bargain multi-day rate... More
