The cottage it self and the view is beautiful. Best time is the morning sunny time and sunset, some rain in the afternoon for the days I stayed. Heather invited me to pick any fruits in her farm, this is an extra bonus to my stay. The Lanai is beautiful i can stay there the whole day. Make sure you bring food/grocery when arrive in Kona or Hilo, grocery shopping and restaurants are not close by. Local tips from Heather are awesome.
