It's a great haven in this really beautiful part of the Hamakua Coast. We stayed a week because we've been to the Big Island a number of times and had only driven past the area and always wanted to return. Well worth it - different than Kona and leeward with all the rain, but how else would all the flowering trees, orchids, fruit and palms grow?! Even with the Covid closures (Botanical Gardens, Museums, etc) we enjoyed the various waterfalls, the Kalopa State Recreation area (huge forest reserve with great interpretive walks), Laupahoehoe Point, the pocket beaches, surfers, Richardson Ocean Park and wandering around Hilo town. The Garden Suite is clean, comfortable and quiet. Randall is a great host and was attentive to our comfort and needs. It was perfect for the two of us to base out of and explore this beautiful part of the island.
