An amazing location and experience....Cottage has luxurious touches and Rachaelle's Balinese decor is tasteful, not "cookie cutter" and reflective of the truly stellar and unique location steps from the lava flow that ate most of Kalapana. The spirit and feeling of place is celebrated at the amazing Weds night gatherings at Uncle Robert's right around the corner.....MUST GO. High quality furnishings and treatment throughout {nothing cheap or flimsy}, although no tv the internet rocked when I needed access to reality. Down the road from Kehena and killer snorkeling at Kapoho, 15 min to Pahoa. Hilo farmer's market is also really if one does some Hilo waterfalls and botanical gardens. Volcano is of course less than 1 hr.
Adjectives that come to mind for my experience with the cottage? CLEAN...SPIRITUAL... SPECIAL... COZY... PRIVATE... EXCLUSIVE...
RARE.. ALTERTING... ROMANTIC... CLEANSING... SWEET...
NATURAL... MEMORABLE... WELL-THOUGHT OUT... LOVELY...

And probably the most accurate description>>> for a TRUE HEARTFELT AND SOULFUL Hawaiian experience of Puna and the Volcano, there is nothing like walking out on essentially your own lava flow adjacent to the sea. Walked it at night during full moon, pluss every weds to and from Uncle Robert's and many other times of day.... this location, host and cottage are truly special. One can feel the generations of the historic Hawaiian fishing village and culture still dripping in the air. You will leave with Aloha, promise.
