We were greeted when we arrived and shown round the property in great detail. It's a large spacious property with great views to both the lava flows and ocean. This house is amazing and it's kinda surreal being surrounded by the black lava flows but also totally wonderful experience. We all thoroughly enjoyed the comfort of the house and there were lots of extras in the property which made it homely and also came in very useful (kayak & snorkeling gear). It is off the main road near the ocean so it feels very calm at night, good if you are just wanting to get away from it all. It also makes perfect viewing for starts at night. During the day you can take advantage of being a short drive to the volcano national park, the black or green sand beaches or a drive up to Kona or Hilo...of course there is a lot of things in the house so you could just relax there or wander down to the local fishing village and buy some fresh fish. We did this and had a BBQ on the decking. It was a nice way to spend our last night. We were there 4 nights 5 days and will definitely be back...there is still SOOOOO much to do! Thanks Anna , Michael, Damien, Marika, Kerrie and Peter.
