We arrived after dark but were greeted by soft lighting and music our lodging. Linda left a handwritten greeting, suggestions for activities, treats, and bottled water. We felt so welcomed here! The place is just beautifully decorated and just creates an atmosphere for relaxing. It rained most of the time we were here so we couldn’t lounge in the spacious yard but inside was so nice just to lie on the bed and listen to the rain. And the separate bath house and outside shower is phenomenal! We will be back and highly recommend A Whale Crossing. Great secluded place yet close to so much beauty of the north side of the Big Island. The town of Hawi is a real gem as well!
