Lisa and Riaan are such wonderful hosts! They've created such a homey atmosphere with chatting over dinner, an occasional campfire, and plenty of local recommendations. They clearly put so much love into their home. And into their dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbit. The turtle room was really spacious, clean, and a lovely place to stay. The outdoor shower had a wonderful atmosphere that beat the standard indoor shower! We enjoyed meeting the other guests who were staying in other rooms, chatting with them and with Lisa and Riaan, who live in this home as well. The location is great for exploring Volcanoes National Park (20 - 30 min away), Hilo, and the southeast part of the island. Make sure to follow their directions as GPS leaves you hanging a block away from the real address and on the opposite side of the street.
