Situated on an 8.5 acre exotic fruit farm along the Hamakua Coast, Royal Palm Cottage will provide you real feeling of Hawaii country living. A view of Mauna Kea greets you as you drive up Chin Chuck Road, known for the well manicured, 10 acre farm lots. As you enter the estate you will marvel at the breathtaking views of mature Royal Palms, 30 foot tall Black Bamboo, ocean views and many tropical Hawaiian flowers.

A boarding dog Kennel shares a portion of the property. Barking can be heard 8-10 am during feeding times or if wild pigs are roaming. It is best if our guests are lovers of dogs, man's best friend.
The evenings are perfect for star gazing thru the royal palms.

My wife and I stayed at Royal Palms from November 8 to November 11 and had a wonderful time! Check in was very easy. A warm welcome note with a scrumptious fruit basket set a welcoming ohana feeling that was just right. The grounds and landscaping provided a lovely, tropical, and peaceful setting with relaxing nature sounds at night. The cottage decorum is elegantly casual with an awesome dry sauna and well appointed lanai. The Royal Palms cottage is definitely on our favorites list for big Island accommodations. Hosts Lauren and Kalani love this place and it shows! Aloha and mahalo nui!

The place is charming. The setting is beautiful and convenient for visiting the Hilo area. The fruit and banana bread are delicious. As advertised, there is a kennel on the property, and during our stay, the dogs (and frogs) were particularly loud during the night (new puppies). But Laurel kindly apologized, and the listing gives fair warning.

We were greeted with a tray of fruit that included a welcome note and some delicious food stuffs that made us feel welcomed & comforted right away!
The giant trees and greenery on the property makes you feel what it’s truly like to be in Hawaii.
The space is very clean, the rules/expectations are fair. I would recommend this location 10/10 to any of my loved ones.
Thanks again!

Laurel was easy to work with, helpful and gave a lovely tour of her property.
My favorite parts include the aisle of tall palms, the sound of the rain, frogs, and birds at night, and of course enjoying the sauna.
Mahalo nui loa!

Laurel is very accommodating. Many thanks!

Stayed two nights in Dec 2023. Beautiful yard, great location. Very clean and it has all the stuffs you would need. Owners are very friendly and accommodating; we even got a tour on the property in the morning of check out day. But air conditioner in the living room is pretty loud. Sofa bed can only fit one person and it’s not very comfortable if you are adult and have to sleep on the floor mats. In overall, it’s a great place.
