This is truly a no frills place and maybe only worth staying here for the convenience. Don't expect any aesthetics or real comfort. It's been long time since any work was done on the place and it really needs some TLC and deep cleaning. Yes, it's the least expensive place we stayed on the island but we wouldn't choose to stay again because it was dark and a bit depressing. The kitchen is well equipped and we did cook some good food there but thought it unacceptable that there was no where to sit to eat that food! We would have much rather had a table and chairs than old TV. The refrigerator was super noisy and ran all the time, the toaster didn't work and the coffee maker was missing the wire filter basket and the paper filters were far too big for the tiny coffee maker. Be sure to persevere with the ceiling light in the bedroom, it does work after several tries. Bill could put a note in the check in instructions about it in addition to the tiny note on the wall which we missed until the 3rd day. The bed and pillows are marginal. The bathroom was only adequate at best, needs some TLC and upgrading.
On the positive side, the Gallery in front is lovely as are the people working there and worth checking out. There are many picnic tables surrounding the Gallery which were mostly unused so we spent our time there. We walked down into the Waipi'o Valley from the lodging (an extra 1/2 mile or so) which was super!
