what a treat it was to stay in the nature cottage: my visit vastly exceeded my expectations. I was greeted with a cornucopia of fresh tropical fruits (as a fruit junky this was a big treat for me), enjoyed a deep sense of privacy-- as if I had the whole jungle to myself-- and felt very much connected to authentic Hawai'i. on my arrival, Janelle hustled me off to the end of the road in kalapana for "uncle Robert's kingdom of Hawai'i, which just added to my overall experience. i was also conveniently close to Pahoa (i LOVE this town!), volcanoes nat'l park, hilo, & the botanical gardens. the nature cottage was well worth the investment, & i would very readily return if my path took me here again. thank you, Janelle...
