This place is just magical! Hidden behind tropical ferns, trees and flowers behind a locked gate, the street only a small stretch in the middle of the rainforest. When we sat on the lanai at night, the only sounds we heard were coming from the birds, frogs and other animals living amongst us.

The cottage is fantastic! Island-zen style decorated with only mosquito nets as windows (except the bedroom which was possible to lock yourself in if you like), great and fully equipped kitchen, full bath with tub, BBQ, beach and snorkel gear and - the outdoor shower! The absolute highlight!

We enjoyed sitting around the house in complete privacy and listen to the sounds of the rainforest while enjoying fresh grilled fish on the BBQ.

Connie and Andrew greeted us upon arrival and were super flexible with the arrival times. They showed us everything and made us feel very welcome.

I can just highly recommend this place if you're looking for a place away from it all in the middle of an Hawaiian environment without any tourist crowds or resort style living. Its a great location to do trips to the volcano, the beaches at the south shore or to get out for a sunset swim at the champagne ponds.

We had the best time and hope we'll be back some day!
