We absolutely loved staying here on the Big Island leg of our honeymoon. The property was beautiful, meticulously maintained, and charming with loads of history and authentic Hawaiian culture. Strolling the grounds was like being at a botanical garden!

The cottage was sparse and clean and in good taste and had everything we needed (including a blender for making fresh fruit smoothies!) Gisella also provided convenient things to make us feel at home like cooking oil, tea, sugar, salt, ketchup, mustard, bug spray, and sunblock. The accommodation was very thoughtful and considered.

Gisella was warm and welcoming. She cut tropical flowers from her property and filled the cottage with them on our arrival. She never failed to help us, dropping everything to show us how to use her washer or get the spare key when we locked ourselves out.

Highly recommended place to stay for visiting Puna, Volcanos National Park, and Hilo.
