The Bali house was amazing! My wife and I spent 4 nights there as part of our 10 year anniversary trip to several Hawaiian Islands. We loved the style and cultural feel of the place! Very calming and relaxing. The roaming geckos were cool and the sounds of the coqui frogs at night and the very light but short rain spurts let you know you were in a tropical rainforest environment. The architecture and decorations are very unique and fun to explore and admire. We got there at night and had trouble figuring out the gate but we contacted the hosts and they got us in within a few minutes and gave us a guided tour They were always available and helpful! The Kehena beach across the street was beautiful. Great privacy to watch the amazing sunrise before 7am. Not a place to swim if you are not s strong swimmer because of rough surf and strong undertow but breathtaking place to hang, get a tan, and a quick dip. We frequented Uncle Roberts Awa Bar 3 miles down the road to eat daily and had a blast there during the Wednesday evening market where hundreds of people from over the island come to eat, sell goods, listen to music, drink, and dance. The active lava flow is only 4.25 miles from Uncle Roberts, but you have to walk there on a stone trail or rent mounting bikes. Rent the bikes! The trip is totally worth it and no need to pay for a tour when you stay at the Bali house because it is so close! We also ziplined the Akaka Falls just north of Hilo with a zipndip tour. Totally worth it! We also toured Volcano NP which were both only an hour away. If you want to have adventures yet stay in a private and romantic place away from crowded tourists then choose the Bali House!
