LOVED loved LOVED this Hamakua Jewel, and, in particular, its super conscientious, available, communicative host Nelli. Oh the Light Within, the Light Without! Sure, the coast is spectacular in its own right, but with the right comfortable, inviting frame? This place fills that bill in a Heavenly Manner!
We had stocked up in Hilo, so appreciated using the kitchen with all of its amenities. The location on the Hamakua coast allows for one or two excursions a day (by vehicle), but the place is also ideal for getting away from it all. Simply being able to soak up that blue ocean horizon from the sun porch or tropical plant-filled stream view is balm for the soul. We did, however, also take advantage of the lack of cars on the Papa a'loa and Ochiro Camp Roads to get in some energetic hiking and running. Beautiful Getaway!
