Remy and Matthew are extremely hospitable and had amazing recommendations for what to do and explore around the island. They were extremely supportive and helpful in all situations and helped us with all questions we had.
The house itself is in a very quiet area a bit outside of Hilo. During the night the only thing you can hear are the birds, frogs and crickets around the house.
It is situated in the „rainforest“ part of the island, so the surrounding is very green, colourful and amazingly fragrant with all the flowers and fruits around.
The house has everything you need around the kitchen and in the bathroom. Also, the flat is a completely soundproof towards remy‘s and matthew‘s place. You cannot hear anything from their side of the house.
We stayed with remy and Matthew for 7 nights and used it as our base to explore the island. We reached all our destinations (except the western beach areas) within an hour by car. To the beaches in the west it will be around 2 hours. However, they were usually too touristy for us anyways.
The most beautiful beach (which remy recommended and we wouldn’t have done without her) is right around the house.
To sum it up, I would highly recommend staying with remy and matthew to explore the big island! It couldn’t have been any better for us.
Thank you remy and matthew once again for everything! Hope to see you again soon.
