Anzu's Place is a lovely, private hideaway -- quiet and peaceful. It was a wonderful contrast to a noisy hotel on a busy street. The grounds are beautiful and lush. No Internet or TV, but that's OK. Limited kitchen amenities (mini fridge, toaster oven), but who wants to cook in Hawaii? If you like a truly private bathroom, this may not be your best choice. There are curtains, not a door, to separate the shower/toilet area from the main area of the cabin. Downstairs bed is fine. Upstairs bed is directly on the floor. Some toys and such for kids. Art is lovely and adds to the charm. Anzu shared starfruit with us while we visited. We had no real chance to interact with her because we were gone each day visiting family in Mountainview.

Our biggest problem was getting there from the opposite direction as Hilo. Directions were given only from Hilo, and to try to get there from the Volcano/Mountainview areas is nothing short of treacherous. Either you must make a wide loop to come from the other direction, or you are traversing absolutely terrible roads -- 10 mph was top speed on some. Trying to use Google or GPS was misleading. If you want to travel to/from the south of here, be forewarned.
