Eco Hale was a very cute vacation cottage. We loved the garden setting, the frogs at night(!), the outdoor living space and Japanese tub, and the little personal touches that made it feel homey. Liked having a gas burner to cook on. The place came equipped with everything you could possibly need. Our hosts left little gifts that were much appreciated and made us feel welcome. Mahalo!
Because we were there during a very rainy period, we were not able to use the outdoor space as much as we would have liked. Beware when planning: Puna district gets a lot of rain! Also, the road in was a little rough in places. Not an issue with the cottage but just to be aware.
Overall we had a very pleasant stay here. Our hosts were kind and helpful but also respected our privacy. We loved the lush garden setting and privacy of the cottage. This would be a great vacation stay for someone who likes something a little different.
