We really enjoyed our weekend staying at Julia's delightful plantation-style home. We ended up upgrading to the larger house that was available. The kitchen was fully furnished with all the things we needed for cooking meals for our group. It was so comfortable just hanging out in the house and on the grounds that it was hard to leave for a hike to the green sand beach, to which the trail head was within a 30 min. drive.
The location of volcano park and a black sand beach were also conveniently located. This is the ideal place to have a family reunion and enjoy the nearby sites and local flavor of the upcoming Kau coffee region.
