Do yourselves a favour and stay with Terry ( this is his preferred name). The house is beautiful and has beautiful gardens on a very large alottment, in a rain forest? You do need a car as it is about 14 miles out of Hilo, but Terry's instructions on how to get to his place are very clear and explicit....other air b&b hosts could learn something from him. The house is secluded and so peaceful. You'll have your own large bathroom, bedroom( with a bar fridge) and high ceiling fan. Terry had fresh local in season fruit , toast/ muffins, hard boiled eggs, cereals, and sweet pastries for breakfasts. The town of Pahoa is about 7 mins away and has a variety of restaurants. The hot pools are also in the area, as well as the lava flow boats. Although a bit pricey, getting within 10 meters of where the lava spills into the ocean was a once in a life time experience.
