The Bali House is like a fantasy from a dream. If ever you have read stories of the Pacific or seen movies, you will feel especially transported. We didn't get to meet Iliahi, but she was lovely on the phone. We did meet her husband, Tim, who greeted us and took us on a tour of the house and property. He was truly genuine in making himself available if we needed anything during our stay and offering for us to eat any fruit we found on the property. And Iliahi and Tim kindly swapped out the greeting bottle of wine with papaya and pineapple from the grounds since we don't drink. They were incredibly fresh and sweet! So if fruit is in season during your visit, trying them is highly recommended. The house is pretty indescribable; the photos do it the justice words can't. It is a magical construction, with everything needed for a memorable stay. We were able to prepare meals in the well-appointed gourmet kitchen, and we slept great. The location is excellent for enjoying and exploring the whole Puna region, and really the rest of the island, for that matter. The part of the property and stay that we enjoyed and appreciated most was the incredible night-time stargazing and the most densely-visible Milky Way we've seen anywhere (and we've had excellent viewings in Australia, Colorado and the Adirondacks). You can actually see the full arch of the Milky Way from this location, which we had never encountered before, so we appreciate Iliahi and Tim sharing their home.
