This is an absolute gem - a peaceful cottage where you can unplug and relax with nature. The cottage is perfectly outfitted with everything you’d need for your stay, with a view of the ocean, waterfall just down the street and the serenading sounds of the coqui and stream just along side the house to lull you to sleep. Located on the Hamakua coast, it’s the perfect location to explore everything from Laupahoehoe, the Waipi'o Valley, Akaka Falls to Honokaa and Hilo.
Nelli is an amazing host, warm and friendly, there to greet us upon arrival with fresh fruit from the property. She took us on a walking tour to the waterfall and shared a bit of their lives with a visit to see their animals including goats, sheep, cows, peacocks and chickens just next door. Generous with her time and knowledge she offered lots of tips for exploring the area. We really enjoyed our time with Nelli and our stay in the cottage, this was our favorite spot on the island and we look forward to returning again one day. Highly recommend!
