Louisa’s Bali hut is the perfect place to stay on the big island if you are looking for an authentic Hawaiian experience. It was our first trip to Hawaii and we couldn’t be happier that we stayed there.
The hut is perfect for a peaceful and romantic trip. It’s surrounded by beautiful palm trees, flowers and other island plants. It’s screened to keep out mosquitos but allows you to hear your beautiful surroundings at night, tree frogs and waves. The outside shower was one of our favorite features, so peaceful and surrounded by plants.
The location is great, only a 10min walk to a great local black sand beach, and a short drive to amazing snorkeling, old lava fields, and thermal pools. Pahoa is about a 20min drive and is a one of a kind small town with a natural grocery, coffee shops, restaurants and the strongest expression of Aloha all around you. This area is a great place to experience some true beauty on the big island without a tourist feel.
Louisa was the best host we could ask for. She gave us space but always communicated quickly and expressed that she was available for questions, tips/suggestions, or anything we needed. We were visiting during the Kīlauea eruption and the large earthquake and Louisa was so calming and helpful. We had an amazing trip and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her!
In short... if you are looking for a clean, beautiful, one of a kind place to stay, an authentic Hawaiian experience, peace and beauty, spending time around amazing people, and truly experiencing aloha, this is the place for you! We can’t wait to go back!
