Elly's place was perfect for our family. Our teens had their own rooms, with plenty of room to spread out...which was very much appreciated after a day exploring the island (and "bonding" in the back seat of the rental car). There are beautiful views of the island from the gazebo in the back yard, and our hosts were kind enough to share bananas and papayas from their fruit trees. Be prepared to drive a little more if staying here, but we certainly felt the trade off for all of the additional space was more than worth the few extra minutes in the car. If you just plan to sit on the beach, you may not wish to stay in the Upcountry, but if you are a little more adventurous and want to explore all the island has to offer, you will likely be very happy with Elly's in Kula - we certainly were!
