We had a *WONDERFUL* time staying at the cottage in Puna.
The cottage was even nicer than described or the photos showed. It was cozy and comfortable, and very clean. We loved the balinese design touches, and the private but (almost) outdoor shower. Everything about the room and the private patio was perfect. And we felt very comfortable using the large shared patio area with the lovely sunrise & sunset views.
Buck was a terrific and welcoming host, and we enjoyed our conversations with him. He was very helpful with tips and directions, and was always available. He is a longtime resident and absolutely knows his area well. We appreciated the delicious coffee delivery each morning.
It is a great location for exploring this area, though a car is definitely required.
