Fung and Mike were great hosts, and the House of Bonsai studio is perfect for two people looking to explore Volcano National Park (it's a very short drive away from the park entrance, so it is perfect if you want to stay at the park a little later or head in early for sunrise).

The studio is a good size, very clean and the kitchen is well-equipped. There's also an entertainment system/TV (we didn't watch TV, but I did enjoy the collection of Hawaiian music we could play while relaxing in the studio at night).

Fung provides breakfast the first morning, which was delicious (I especially loved the homemade lilikoi drizzle served on top of the apple bananas).

If you are staying past sunset to watch the crater glow from Jaggar park, be sure to bring warm clothes - it gets really chilly!
