What a magical place. We loved staying at Axel's place. We loved it so much we scratched all our plans for the day and just chilled there. We swam in the waterfalls and explored the area below the water fall. Axel was so kind to give us a tour of his conifer farm. He was also very quick to respond when we asked if there was extra light so my son could read in the loft. The place is not big but being well designed it felt spacious. We did yoga on the deck after moving some furniture around. There is no TV but who needs one when you are surrounded by nature. At night you hear the frogs and in the mornings the birds. If you are super sensitive to noise, even nature noise, I suggest an ear-plug. It didn't bother us one-bit. We wished we could have stayed longer. When you are at the property you feel like you are away from it all but downtown Hilo is only about 10 minutes away. It was nice and cool up at the property when it was hot at Hilo. It was nice that there were no other guest cottages. There are people that work the farm along with Axel and his wife but it did not bother us. We hope to come back again soon!
