Our time at Eco Hale was a highlight on our trip, and Kaeo was the most gracious and thoughtful host. We arrived after dark and she warmly welcomed us and walked us from our car along a fire-lit path to the beautiful cottage. She then brought us a tray of delicious hot food!! The next morning, finally able to explore the kitchen, sleeping area and gorgeous bathroom in full sunlight, we couldn't believe all of the careful details and amenities that Kaeo has placed throughout. Everything you could imagine needing or wanting away from home is there at your fingertips.
Eco Hale, in Mountain View, is a tucked away location, but it was centrally located between three areas that we wanted to explore: Hilo, Puna area, and the Volcano National Park. The cottage is about a 20-30 minute drive from each of these spots.
We are already talking about going back! This place is very special!
