Garvin and Laura have certainly put a lot of work into their B&B to make the place feel like a home away from home! The B&B is in a great location with Hilo a 15 minute drive away, and attractions such as Volcano National Park and Waipio Valley approximately an hour in either direction. The Mauka room was extremely clean... More

We are glad you had a great time. Just to clarify, there are two parts to Hilo. Old Hilo Town is about 5 minutes from our location. This is where most of our guest will spend their time going to museums, restaurants, local gift shopping, and The Hilo Farmers Market. The New part of Hilo is about 15 minutes from... More

We stayed for two nights at this lovely bnb and my only wish is that we stayed longer. We stayed in the larger two bedroom room and it acccommodated the three of us very comfortably. The room was clean and inviting and had nice spots outside to sit and read and soak up some sunshine. It was only minutes drive... More

We just spent 5 nights with Laura and Garvin near Hilo. They are a few minutes from Hilo and their farm is lovely. We stayed in the Hilo bay room which has a great view of Hilo harbour. Our room was much nicer than the one we had at Hilton Hawaiian village and was bigger than our first apartment! Everything... More

We were so lucky to find this B&B just outside Hilo, everything was wonderful about our two night stay here. The beds were amazing and so comfortable, breakfasts delicious, Laura and Garvin the perfect hosts. It was an unexpected find for us and we highly recommend people to stay here when they are visiting Hilo. It is a ten minute... More

We were so fortunate to have had Island Goode's recommended to us by another B&B owner. What a fabulous experience we had there. The room was spotless and comfortable. The view of Hilo Bay from the patio was amazing. Laura and Garvin really went out of their way to accommodate my gluten-free diet; Laura's made-from-scratch pancakes were awesome!! The breakfasts...

All the best: view, breakfast, information, friendliness and knowlege of the island. Garvin and Laura know how and what to do to make one feel comfortable, but more importantly, wanted. Impeccable cleanliness, great home grown fruits, fresh pastries, home raised eggs combine to make a memorable experience. Absolutely wonderful memories. Probably saying what others have said, but there is comfort... More

Would have liked to have stayed a couple of more nights. Garvin and Laura where very gracious hosts.The room we stayed in had a king bed and 2 twins in another room.Very very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. Hot tub could have been 2 degrees warmer. Room was supplied with all necessary amenities including lots of coffee.
