We really enjoyed our stay at the green cottage.
The cottage is clean and nicely furnished. The kitchen is equipped with a lot of useful appliances. All windows have bug screens and the patio is screened in, too. So mosquitoes won‘t bother anyone staying in the cottage. The view from the patio is really nice, you can even see the ocean.
The cottage is located in Hanokaa on the north-eastern part of the island only a two minute drive from Hanokaas main street with shops, cafes, restaurants, gas stations and a supermarket. Definitely check out Hanokaas Farmers Market on Sundays.
The northeastn part of the island feels less touristy than the west coast. It is calmer but definitely a great choice as a base to explore the island and all of its attractions:
The beautiful Waipi‘o valley lookout and hike starting point is only a 15 minute drive away, the town of Weimea with lots of shops and restaurants is only 22 minutes by car.
Akaka falls national park is also only 45 minutes away, Hilo can be reached in about an hour. Even the Volcano national park is only about 90 minutes away.
To sum it up:
I can definitely recommend this Airbnb!
