Waiola Guesthouse is the perfect escape from civilization. The porch is perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee with some inquisitive geckos while watching the rescue donkey do its thing. The well-stocked kitchen is just right for any level of cook.
If you're earth-conscious, the fact that Wendy & David compost & recycle their water is an added feel-good feature for this respite from the hustle & bustle. The shower had amazing water pressure and never ran out of hot water.
This is one of the quietest places on the Big Island and not a bad drive from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
Overall, highly recommended!
