We truly enjoyed our stay at John’s cottage in Hawaiian Paradise Park. The unit was spacious and had all the amenities we needed. The property is large with all kinds of local trees, shrubs and fruit. The owner lives in an adjacent cottage. John clearly takes pride in the property and was available to help out as needed. We enjoyed his coffee, spring water and lots of oranges which were currently in season.
The cottage is a little “removed”, but it worked well for us as a central location. We could access Volcanoes Park to the south or Hilo and all the waterfalls to the north.
Spoiler alert: it is a tropical paradise. No crashing of waves to be heard but lots of birds (including chickens), crickets, dogs… ear plugs are provided!
