Seiko and I stayed at the Angel's Nest in Pahoa from 6-10 June, 2016.
Searching for somewhere that's off the beaten tourist track, we were delighted to find it fulfilled our desire for adventure and more.
Angel & Gabriel's home is a lovely rustic timber house, set in a lush garden - like a rain forest.
Located close to a secluded black sand beach, with volcanic rocks slashed by a sapphire ocean, this stop was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip.
The room is very comfortable, equipped with a fridge, plates, kitchen utensils, etc. Outside there's a bbq and a small table for two, for dining on the verandah.
Each morning, a basket of exotic tropical fruits and freshly baked muffins, mysteriously appeared at our door.
Was it a gift from the Hawaiian God, "Pele" or from an "Angel?"
A mile along the coast is Kalapana, a village that was partly destroyed by a recent lava flows. We were amazed to see the popular & vibrant, Wednesday night-market and hear the wonderful local band of Hawaiian singers & musicians.
For our future visit to the Big Island, we will include staying at Angel's Nest again.
