We really enjoyed our stay. The house is located in a deserted area. If you are looking for peace and quiet that’s the place to go. The house is well equipped with all amenities you need for a stay on big island and is nicely decorated. We particularly enjoyed to spend the evenings on the porch which is surrounded by trees and plants. During the night we enjoyed the „jungle sound“ coming from outside.
When staying there and wanting to explore the island though you need to plan for long car rides of at least 60 mins to the Volcano National park or even 3 hours to the west coast where the nicer beaches are located. Big Island is beautiful - if you consider the journey to be part of „destination“ it’s no big deal.
