The house itself is absolutely gorgeous and spotlessly clean. The layout is open and lovely with lots of light. We had to spend one rainy day indoors and if it was not as bright as it is, the day would have been drearier. The host has all the television and Netflix etc. channels that you would want as well as Japanese and other games on hand. The beds were extremely comfortable and there were many other little amenities thoughtfully provided by the host including lotions, body wash, shampoos, even toothpaste etc. if you forgot your own. The drive to Pahoa is about 10 minutes where there is a new plaza if that’s what you like as well as some quaint shops nearby. We absolutely loved the takeout from Boogie Woogie Pizza. Communication with the host was excellent and she offered us a late check out … we have no hesitation in recommending Bonsai Bungalow !
