Riaan is a very nice host, friendly and considerate. The set is actually more beautiful than the picture shows, it locates on the top floor (3rd) of the house, it has the entire floor surrounded by balcony with 360 degree views (view of the tropical forest.) The room is very clean and everything is brand new, roomy and airy. We enjoyed every moment of the stay.
The location of the house is perfect for the 1st time visiting to explore the Big Island. It is on Hilo side with short drives to the Volcanoes National Park, water falls, natural lava heat swimming pools, etc. Most of the sightseeings on this side of the island requires some hikings, so short driving distance means more time to explore and see more. To the Kona side of the island is a longer drive (more than an hour,) but that is fine, because the sightseeings on that side of island are mostly beaches, when laying down in the sand on the beach, the time goes slow...
Overall we had a wonderful time stay at Riaan's house, I highly recommend it!
