Our stay at Hale Olu was just fabulous! We were so close to the Hawaii Volcanic National Park and that was so convinient since we had planned to spend 2 days with activities there. Julia provided us with perfect instructions to get to her place and had left us fruits and other essentials even though she wasnt in town. There is nothing but fabulous things to day about the house itself - you would feel like you are living inside a rainforest. It looks like a dream especially when it rains. Last but not the least, I love cats and her 2 cats were so freindly and i enjoyed their company each morning as we sat outside and sipped our coffee.
