Brenda's place is great. The guesthouse is nicely done and very neat and very comfortable. The common lounge and kitchen area is fully outfitted and Brenda is extremely welcoming and offers coffee and free reign to her kitchen and refrigerator.
She and her partner are very welcoming and shared local tips.
One warning - the roads close to the place are rough and GPS is misleading. Brenda provides exact instructions - please.follow them - especially the first time. Also, gt there before dark if at all possible.
Other than that it is close to Hilo and the National Park. A great place if you want to just relax off the grid ( but with WiFi :)) for a few days.
