The place provides a good value for money for a single traveller or a couple with no children. It is a bedroom with a porch and a private bathroom with private entrance on the back of the house. It is 30 - 40 minute south of Hilo depending on the traffic. Volcanoes National Park entrance is roughly 45 minutes away in a car. Gary & Patty were good hosts. They were nice, hospitable and addressed any needs I had in a timely manner.
