Konrad and Robert are two genial, fun-loving guys who will make you feel like their home is your home. They are a pair of ghosts, or possibly guardian angels. Most of the time no one would believe they even exist, as you do not see them, nor hear them. However, if you do need anything they magically appear to help you. They also seem to know the best times to stop for a chat or otherwise leave you alone.
Their location may seem isolated on the map, but that's a good thing. Once you set foot on their property you are in a tranquil, peaceful environment. Throughout the many times that we traveled through the neighborhood, we rarely saw another person. Nights on the lanai were wonderful with a warm tropical breeze wafting over your body. The sounds of the coqui mimicking bird calls are reminiscent of an old Tarzan jungle movie.
Though seemingly remote, their location is perfect for excursions to Pahoa, Hilo, Hawaii Volcanoes NP, Akaka Falls, the Red Road, Uncle Robert's, and several other must-see attractions.
Each morning a pitcher of delicious fresh squeezed orange juice magically appears on the table on your lanai. You never see or hear the entity that delivers it. This juice -- from oranges grown on the property -- is so addictive it has been banned in several southern states. K&R also provide delicious fruits and vegetables from their garden, perfect for breakfast or late-night munching.
Don't be bashful about using the outdoor shower! K&R provide large, oversized towels that make the short dash to the shower a (mostly) modest affair. And what an experience showering in the open air! You'll cherish the experience.
All in all these laid back hosts and their wonderful, peaceful, and private B&B unit are a big hit.
