A truly amazing stay. We rented two cottages (Rainbow and Green) from Jackie and loved them both. At first we were hesitant when we arrived because there is no air conditioning, but having the windows open kept it really cool - none was needed. And the sounds of the frogs just lulling you to sleep. During our free time not off exploring the island, we spent time in the hot tubs, and walked the steam vent trail, where there was information about the different plants. And the night sky - when clear was beautiful - you can see so many stars - it was incredible. Volcano National Park is only a 50 minute drive away. Pohoiki (Isaac Hale Beach Park) is only 30 minutes from the cottage. And although there was a stove, we just went into town for dinner each night.
