Beautiful location. Close to lots of things. Easy access to Hilo, Volcanoes Nat Park and the Pana’ewa Rainforest Zoo. Beautiful lava cliffs and ocean are just a few minutes drive and a short walk away. Great Farmers/Artisan markets close by on the weekends. Lots of Geckos but hardly any bugs during our Feb stay. It rained a lot but a couple of sunny days too. Less rain up north and on the Kona side so still lots of places to explore on the rainy days. Tons of animal noise at night which is soothing for some and difficult others, so bring white noise or earplugs if needed. Walls are relatively thin and windows are always open so you will hear the other guests from time to time.
Overall this place is a fantastic stay for the $! Kepi was a wonderful and helpful host and the place is inviting and magical at night!
