At the most beautiful garden in Hawaii, Onomea Waterfall greets one while decending into the lush valley. Lynn and I spent 4 hours taking over 500 photos of the tropical flowers, flowing water, ocean waves, and small creatures. The garden is in a natural setting, located in a secluded valley. In my opinion, this was the best Hawaiian garden we have visited. We look forward to returning to the Hilo side of Hawaii sometime next year.

Island Goode's - Luxury Adults Only Accommodation

Island Goode's - Luxury Adults Only Accommodation

10/10 Excellent
"We were only at Island Goode's three nights and really there only in the evening/late evening. But even in those short times, we felt so relaxed in the beautiful setting, the dark night sky to see the stars, and seeing some of the sunrise over the ocean from the front lawn. Bonus - fruit trees with oranges and tangerines and lemons in the yard we could have and enjoy. And our hosts were so friendly and helpful - with practical things and having laundry available, and snorkel gear and chairs to borrow. We are extremely thankful we stayed at Island Goode's and would recommend them to anyone, even the traveller who uses the "hotel" just a launching pad for the next day's adventure. "
