Roby's cottage is located in a quiet neighborhood in the jungle just 25-30 minutes away from both Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. We were greeted warmly by him and his wife Kayo. The cottage is a large studio and well equipped with everything we needed during our stay. The trash was taken out nearly everyday during our stay when we were out and about. When we had laundry to do, Kayo helped us and even ended up drying and folding the clothes for us! Very kind! There is no AC but the weather was cool and rainy during our stay. There are additional fans in the unit if needed. At night we were lulled to sleep by the sounds of the natural jungle and coqui frogs. A few things to note. The road to the property is not fully paved. We had a sedan but was fine driving slow. Also there is a year old dog named Ike who will say hello by jumping onto you. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the place!
