HILO

Shipman House Guest Cottage is on Reed's Island, an historic neighborhood just across a wooden bridge from Historic Downtown Hilo...and worlds away. A rainforest of bamboo, palms and mango trees separates your cottage from town and Hilo Bay, yet just a ten-minute walk takes you to restaurants, museums and the Farmers Market downtown. Hear the birds twittering and calling nearby and across the gulch below, singing for a mate or just enjoying the day. If it rains, grab one of the umbrellas and go for a walk...it's a warm rain, and could be over in minutes. You may be surprised at how raindrops sound on our huge tropical leaves!
