Riaan was a great host and his lovely home was the perfect base camp for our time exploring Volcanoes National Park. It's was very conveniently located just a short drive to the park, and lots if food in nearby Hilo. The room was as advertised and the highlight was the outdoor shower! Trust me, after a long day hiking across craters and lava fields there is nothing more refreshing and relaxing than showering off under a blue Hawaiian sky, listening to the birds chirping. NOTHING. Riaan made sure we had everything we needed and was available to provide guidance on local attractions as well. If you're tired of boring cookie cutter hotel rooms, this listing provides a reasonably priced alternative that will give you a much more authentic experience of the island.
