Koki cottage is the perfect base for exploring Hilo, VNP and surrounding areas. Everything felt like a short drive away. The cottage is very clean, spacious and thoughtfully furnished. Having a heated towel rack and dryer are a big plus, especially for rainy days. Our favorite part is the porch that opens up to their well-tended garden. This is where we usually have brunch and wind down at the end of the day. But it is Ken and Lori who made our stay extra special. They are so gracious and generous with their time and knowledge of the island and bounty from their garden. We were sad to leave but hope to visit again !
