What a wonderful place this is! The pictures on-line just do not do it justice. It is incredibly beautiful and incredibly clean! The out-door shower is absolutely charming. I would love to build something similar at my personal home. In addition to a lovely spacious guest-house, Manfred and Elfie are absolutely wonderful people. They are kind and extremely accommodating. (For example, we did not bring a hair dryer, and Elfie produced one for us within minutes of us asking.) They were also incredibly helpful in guiding us with places we should visit which we otherwise would never have known about. I would make a trip back to Hilo just to stay with them. They are wonderful people. They do have internet, but I noticed my ATT service was spotty while there..... I think that is just due to how ATT is serviced on that part of the island. All in all, one of the best places we stayed on our island-hopping trip.
