What a great place to stay! I think it is the perfect place to call base camp when exploring the rest of the big island of Hawaii. If you want to see the rest of the island most of the impressive sights are within a two hour drive. Leave early and avoid driving at night. It's dark so also bring at least two powerful flash lights at all times. You'll enjoy the magnificent breakfast provided each morning and the jacuzzi upon your return. It is very peaceful and quiet, a truly beautiful treasure, and terrific hosts.
