This is a wonderful private retreat, only a few minutes away from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Highly recommended for couples, or even families with small children as a place to retire after a long day of hiking, or even as a base camp to see the south eastern side of the big island. The design and open space was well thought out, and the outdoor shower and tub were a delight. The kitchenette is adequate for a simple meal if you are tired of eating out. We would definitely consider staying here again if returning to the area.
