Julia was a very patient host allowing us a late checkin and a late checkout. In fact, at checkout because of bad communication on my part, she had to came by a couple of times expecting us to have already checked out. But she was really accommodating about that.
The house itself has loads of charm and I feel sad that we were only there for 1 night. I think its a restored bunkhouse setup for use of plantation officers (?) in older times. The patio looks out to a lush green meadow and then further out to the ocean. Perfect for enjoying a meal / beverage.
The Papakolea (Green Sand Beach) is close by from here and so is Volcano National Park - both of which should not be missed. And please don't hitch rides / drive all the way to the beach. Do the walk in the early morning.
