Wow... we stayed in the rainforest. The nightly frog sounds, and morning rooster and other birds was nice to hear. Pua has a great collection of Hawaiian books and resources for those interested in exploring the culture.
Pua was very helpful in giving us tips on seeing the major sights plus some local hidden gems such as the trail near botanical gardens.
We enjoyed fresh eggs from her chickens, and papaya picked off the tree outside.
There are plenty of kitchen supplies, and we were able to cook meals and prepare snacks for our daily adventures.
The property is about 10 minutes outside of Hilo, and easy to get to.
The bed was comfortable and since it was winter months there we appreciated the extra blankets.
