We loved our stay at Mangolay.
The location was just what we were looking for at this stage of our trip- very close to wonderful tide pools for snorkelling, with a feeling of being very remote and yet only 15 minutes drive from Pahoa for amenities.
The grounds, house and pool are stunning, tranquil and full of interesting artefacts. The room is separate from the house, equipped well with all you could need - fridge, coffee maker, small kitchen area, guides etc. We loved our breakfasts on the pretty terrace overlooking the pool and the additional outside shower was a real treat!
Dennis and Paul ( and the three beautiful dogs) were wonderful hosts; friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed sharing stories, learning about their sustainable off the grid home and their travels. Our stay is remembered as a highlight of our trip and in fact we wish we had stayed longer to better enjoy the haven Dennis and Paul have created, and spend another morning in the magical tide pools nearby!
