Arriving at Eco Hale was like arriving home! It is clear that a lot of love and thought went into the design and implementation of the hale and property, from the lovely little kitchen to the gorgeous bathroom, the lanai and the beautiful forest garden. It was quiet and private, very cozy and clean. Kaeo was an amazing hostess- she accommodated our schedule, left us sweet honeymoon treats including fresh fruit, a bottle of wine, sweet breads, and all kinds of little goodies. A bonus- there are binders of amazing information about the area that Kaeo and Karl have put together over the years- it really helps to put your stay on the island in perspective. Staying at Eco Hale is perfect for exploring the southern part of the island, including Hilo, Pahoa, the amazing Volcanos National Park, etc. Mahalo nui loa for your kind hospitality!
