This is a very unique and special place to stay in the heart of Hilo for the eclectic, artistic, and organic traveler! Beautiful mosaic tilework is abundant- and particularly in the semi-outdoor (yet totally private) dressing room/shower space downstairs from the cottage. This cottage is among several other historic cottages on the property sprinkled around a lush and peaceful zen garden with a Koi pond. The property is a stone's throw literally from lots of great restaurants and activities yet remains a serene and peaceful refuge. There was a lovely covered outside porch to listen to the Koke frogs sing at night. Much love and care has gone into preserving the vintage feel of each cottage.
Our host Megan was very responsive and had great suggestions about things to see and places to go- both inside and outside of Hilo. I would definitely recommend this wonderful space.
