Gigi’s cottage is a gem amongst gems. If you are lucky enough to book your stay here, you will come to realize that this is probably one of the best airBnBs you will find. Not only is Gigi a remarkable host and communicates so well, but the sheer thoughtfulness that has gone into the cottage is incredible in every way… you almost don’t even want to leave to go do activities or sight-see because you feel so at home and comfortable.
The garden grounds are truly a wonder to look upon, and with all the flowers and tree ferns, you can only imagine the amount of time and care that Gigi had put into making the cottage someplace special.
Every amenity you could ask for is provided, and everything in the cottage is modern and very well maintained. It is beautifully decorated and while it is a cottage, there is so much space and the layout is perfect.
Although you’ll be sad to leave, you will already be thinking about coming back again and those back home that you want to refer to the treasure that is Gigi’s cottage.
If you explore the sparsely populated neighborhood, you’ll probably notice signs for at least a dozen other places you could have probably booked and stayed and you will soon realize that none of them can even begin to compare to Gigi’s cottage… so if you’re on the fence and debating which place to book on your trip to Volcano, let me make it easy by saying, get this place while you can… you will never regret it.
For those looking to visit the National Park, the location is prime… from the cottage driveway to the park entrance is under 5 minutes.
We will definitely be back, not for the park, or the other attractions, but just because we enjoyed the cottage so much that it’s perfect even for those just looking to get away for a few days.
Mahalo, Gigi… (and thank you for the incredible cookies upon arriving!)
