What a wonderful place to stay on the Big Island!
Volcano is a wonderful base for the east side of the island. Hilo is a fairly short drive away and you are right outside volcanoes national park which makes it very easy to go back-and-forth, especially when the lava is flowing. The park has many places to hike and spend time and just deserving of at least a couple of days with downtime at night.
Oma’s Hapu’u Hideaway is the perfect place to stay if you appreciate coziness, whimsy, and comfort. Jillian and Todd have furnished the place very comfortably with guest safety and convenience in mind. They even have high speed Wi-Fi better than what we have at home in Silicon Valley!
Location is perfect with many wonderful cafés and restaurants even within walking distance. Some of the best food is not only found in the restaurants but also in the couple of food trucks in the area. Numerous farmers markets provide fresh tasty food as well.
If you are flying into Kona, be sure to grab a Styrofoam ice chest at one of the KTA markets and then go shopping at Costco. If you’re staying more than a couple of days, it will save you a lot of money.
Looking forward to coming back soon! Mahalo!
