The Puna Rainforest Retreat Rainbow Cottage was an absolutely amazing getaway from the hustle and bustle of some of the more touristy areas of the Big Island. The grounds are lush and beautiful and teeming with flora and fauna, and many amazing wild fruits to enjoy. The cottage offers an expansive view of the grounds, and even an ocean view from the main bedroom and lanai. We enjoyed soaking in the steam heated soaking tubs at night with cocktails, and in the morning drizzle with coffee. The property’s steam vent trail was both beautiful and educational. The accommodations and amenities were simple, humble and quaint but provided everything we needed for our two night getaway. The rooms were clean and well appointed and beds were comfy. The town of Pahoa is just a few minutes away and has some good restaurant options and a very interesting old downtown area filled with some “eclectic” characters, as well as a more modern and newly constructed strip mall and market. Hilo is just 30-40 minutes for more options. We wish we had more time to spend at this tropical gem. Jacklynn was a great host and communicator, and offered a very simple check-in and check-out process and a warm election our arrival.
