Hale Kohola looks EXACTLY the same as the photos. The view from the back lanai is simply beautiful, and the sunsets create visual magic every evening. The home is open, bright, and airy.
The big island is a BIG island. It takes a while to drive anywhere, including to the nearest town (25 minutes). The landscape is fascinating, with barren lava fields, grassy fields, tropical rain forest, black sand and white sand beaches, and so much more. We had a great week with Hale Kohola as our home base!
