The Eco Hale Cottage is very charming and private. The cottage accommodations were very nice and the surrounding gardens were lush and beautiful. Kaeo did a great job of providing a lot of little extras that were most welcome as we arrived and were helpful throughout our three-night visit. The location, though remote in feel, is only 10 miles from the national park and so we could stay to see the lava glowing at night and still be able to drive back to the cottage before too late. There are no restaurants or grocery stores close by, so it might be advisable to stock up and/or eat before arriving (The cottage is 4-5 miles after exiting the main road.) We would recommend staying here to anyone who was interested in exploring Volcano National Park.
