Gorgeous newly built cabin surrounded by flowers, so perfect we did not want to leave. It's obvious how much thought and love went into making Hale Nonno so beautiful. Rhea and Alden went above and beyond any expectations in hospitality, were incredibly responsive and offered a lot of suggestions on what to do on the island. Kitchenette was stocked with fruit and delicious breakfast. We really enjoyed eating it on the porch. The place was sparking clean. There were so many thoughtful touches it's impossible to list them all (there were even robes for our use!). I would love to come back to Big Island and stay at Hale Nonno again. I am sure very soon I will have to plan my stay here way in advance as this place is going to get a waiting list.
Stay here and drive around the neighborhood to see the aftermath of 2018 eruption on Leilani Estates. Go visit the new Pohoiki black sand beach. I also heard it's possible to ride bikes from Kalapana into Volcanoes National Park (I would love to come back and do that.)
Thank you, Rhea and Alden. You are truly amazing hosts.
