Beautiful setting in a Hawaiian Rain Forest. Paradise for bird and tree lovers. Rustic yet elegant, basic but comfortable accommodations. Open-air cooking and eating on covered porch. Bathroom and shower have enough privacy, though they feel very open to the forest. This would be a wonderful place for a small group retreat or reunion. My mother and I stayed in the Jungalow for 3 nights. Fell asleep to the sounds of rain on the roof and frogs chirping. Rachelle was very welcoming and helpful. She offered the use of the yoga studio on the property for exercise or meditation. She carefully explained how to use the solar power system, and left written instructions as well.
We did lots of driving and went to the beaches, Hilo town, Volcanoes National Park, the town of Volcano, etc. The Jungalow is not your typical tourist accommodation. It's a bit out-of-the-way. Though Rachelle's directions were very precise, I don't recommend trying to find it in the dark!
