Excellent place to base yourself on the Big Island's Kohala Coast. It is tucked away in the corner of Waikoloa Village and is very quiet in a nice neighborhood. Up the mountain a bit, so it is cooler with Mauna Kea in the background. You'll want to have a car to be able to get to explore different parts of the island. Great coffee shop and grocery store nearby in the center of the village (with another one being built) It's an easy 15min drive down to the resort and beach areas with ocean and lava flow views the whole way down. Kobayashi is an amazing host that really cares about your stay. You'll love staying here.
