This place is small and rustic nestled inside a working coffee plantation. It has beautiful sea views but do not expect lawns. It's a working farm and you will see farm equipment lying around but it has all modern amenities inside - the wifi from the roasting room is really good. Yes they roast coffee right next door and if you are lucky enough to be there on a day they are roasting make time to talk to Bob and his partner about the coffee roasting process. They are really knowledgeable.
The place is well located for Captain Cook, Snorkelling ,Parasailing etc. We did the volcano , Mauna kea, green sand beach too but it involved long hours of driving so if you are planning to do volcano and waterfalls you may have to drive a bit. Double booking one night in Hilo or Volcano may be a good idea. If you are more into relaxation the place is perfect.
What I loved about the place were the papaya and avocado trees and the fact that you can buy coffee straight from the roaster into a bag custom packed for you.
The place has a a surprising no of conveniences nearby even though it looks like it is in the middle of nowhere. So seclusion and convenience together:)
