A wonderful little cabin to base yourself in while visiting Big Island.
Somewhat out of the centre of Kona, a car very useful staying here. It gets you away from the tourist bustle of the strip along the waterfront. If you are interested in snorkeling, then Martina, your host is super knowledgeable, as she has been a marine wildlife photographer for years and now leads night snorkeling trips to see the manta rays. If you want to drive yourself up Mauna Kea, then a proper 4 wheel drive is necessary. AWD is not enough. Also necessary to drive down into the Waipi’o valley. Having the flexibility to prepare our own food means you’re not tied to restaurants. The balcony is a great place to unwind in the evening.
