Riaan's home was an ideal location for the activities we planned on the east side of the island. It was close to the national park and Hilo, but still felt like it was remote and rural.

The room was very spacious and clean, and although we were initially apprehensive about lack of AC, we were extremely comfortable because the house was quite cool at night. Also the frogs outside can be noisy, but with the windows shut, we almost forgot about them, and slept very well (we are normally light sleepers).

Riaan, Lisa and Cathy were very pleasant, although we did not interact a lot because of our packed schedule. They gave us very detailed directions, and we did not have any problems finding the place, although google maps sent us to the wrong location.

Perfect place for nature lovers!
