What a fantastic find. The place feels much larger and nicer than the pictures show. The estate is gorgeous - rural and thickly shaded in fruit trees and rainforest. The cat was a welcome and loveable addition. About 1 mile from really lovely seaside black cliffs. Hilo is 20-25 min drive, except for morning rush hour, when you should plan for 60-65 minutes. (But it's forth it for a place like this. Plus, it's close to volcanoes park and great tide pools and coral.)

Hosts were unbelievably welcoming and helpful, even when we had a car problem - those new electronic car keys are a hassle, but this place sure isn't.
