We just loved this place and our whole experience here! Aside from our stays with friends on the island, this was hands down our most delightful lodging on our tour of the island. Elvira and Hugh were perfect hosts-- very generous, funny, and genuine, and were magically available if we needed anything and gave us space as well to just enjoy hanging out there, which we really enjoyed doing. The entire property was very interesting-- the gardens, tropical fruit, beautiful eco-retreat, and view to the east of the Pacific. The avocado house was full of fine and quirky art, full of beauty and personality, but also really comfortable. Great bed and connected outdoor bathroom and a kitchen/dining space that was just fine, and also with a view. Supplied with fresh fruits and breakfast fixings. We lacked for nothing. Even had wi-fi. We are definitely coming back and staying longer. I am almost reluctant to give such a great review because we want to be able to book it on our next trip! We have already given high recommendations to our friends. For us, this made our experience in Pahoa inviting and nurturing, a great base camp to also explore the region.
