The place was somewhat as described. I stayed in a cabana with 2 hammocks to myself. The location was quiet and peaceful - it was what I needed. It was 20-25 minutes drive from downtown Hilo where you could get stuff you need and restaurants you could try. If you're not used to sleeping on the hammocks for long period of time, now is not the time to try it. For those who have not slept on one of these, your backs may not like it. I wished the hammocks and blankets were laundered so they don't smell like dirty bodies. The kitchen and the bathrooms are at the main house. You walk a short distance from the cabanas. I wished the kitchen and outside bathroom were clean, though. Not a fan of crumbs under my feet (no shoes inside) and dirty stove tops and sinks and messy stuff all over. Other than that, it was an interesting experience. I like the off gride living and recycle your stuff. This place is among nature and one could just walk/hike to the nearest town and be in awe with nature. I enjoyed the stream nearby. It was nice and refreshing to see some waterfalls.
