Great place! Inside and outside. Beautiful jungle surroundings and the stars are super bright here. We were wondering about the outdoor shower, but it was great. Loved the mosaic tiles and the pretty garden. We checked in pretty late, but there was a lockbox that made that possible. The location is about an hour to the Volcano National Park, but closer to the lava viewing from the Kalapana side. It's also close to the Black Sand (Nude) Beach, Kapoho tidepools, and Champagne pools. From the other reviewers we found the mini-mart down the street (go south on main road) which had a very useful ATM. It also has a bar and a few other eateries. We really enjoyed Karuna Foods (vegan), which was really tasty. We could eat there everyday if we could. If you go North on the main street, the trees are so beautiful that it made a tunnel around the street. A must see! Other things to note: Green lizards inside. They are harmless. If you don't like lizards than maybe think twice. Coqui frogs "sing" at night. It didn't bother us. It's like crickets. If you want to prepare food, bring everything you need. Oil, salt, pepper...you get the idea. There is only 1 sink. The bathroom sink. We made it work. It was fine. You can make it work too. The fridge is a half fridge with a tiny freezer which we didn't need. But don't put anything on the top shelf of the fridge unless you want it to freeze. Also, do not press the red button in the fridge! Unless you want to defrost the freezer. If you are considering this place. I recommend it because it's different and not your average hotel (think cottage) and has a nice charm to it.
