We stayed only for 1 night at the Lava Lookout, as we only have a quick tour around the big island. The room was even better than expected (not so basic), the bathroom is big, modern and very well equipped. I can’t begin to explain how awesome it was to be star gazing at night from the porch. The next morning we went out walking on the lava. I was surprised that other houses were built on the lava, it was not as remote as I thought. It was easy to find via Google Maps as well (but still happy we went out while it was still daylight). Matt gave us good tips on a fabulous drive along the coast and a good grocery store in Pãhoa. (The only downside for us were the pillows, a bit too big for us. But bed was good ! And not all windows have curtains, so we were up early....). I would definitely recommend a stay at the Lava Lookout!
