This is a great location for exploring the south island/Ka'au region. Many points of interest are much more convenient to access from here than if you were to simply stay in the Kona region. I split my stay between the two regions and was able to explore more as a result. The microclimate here also tends to have less rain so I experienced good weather during February. The host Malia is super friendly with lots of aloha and is happy to take care of anything you might need. View from the lanai is nothing short of spectacular. The space is very roomy especially with the expansive lanai. Everything was very clean. I will note that if you are used to a firm mattress (like I am) then you may find the mattress to be softer than your back is accustomed to.
