We had a marvelous stay. Ohia Malu Sanctuary is a drive from the airport (over an hour) but turned out to be a great launching point to a lot--about an hour to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, less than 45 minutes to our snorkel trips and most sites. We appreciated the quiet and not being in the middle of tourist areas. Joe provided avocados, grapefruit and starfruit from the trees on the property. The kitchen was very well stocked. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of room for the two of us. We really appreciated the recycling and composting. There was coffee and a coffee grinder. We would definitely stay here again if we have the chance.
