My partner and I were very excited to experience Pua's authentic getaway just outside of Hilo, HI. Our trip was a last minute decision, and before we even arrived Pua was extremely helpful with both our accommodations and also helping understand the best places to visit in the area (more specifically the right time in the day to visit them)

When we arrived, we didn't know what to expect because it was outside the main part of Hilo, but holy smokes.. Pua delivered. For anyone worried about the distance outside of Hilo... don't. Its worth it.

This accommodation is described very accurately. If you want luxury, then this won't be the place for you. We personally love authentic and natural places to stay, and The Shrine fit the bill! You can tell Pua has taken the time to focus on the small details. Speaking of the details, it was extremely easy to enjoy the night because Pua had included all the cooking equipment, bathroom toiletries, etc. required.

My final recommendation. WHEN you book this place make sure upon arrival you go straight to the the sliding doors to view Pua's beautiful backyard with all the fruit you could ask for!
