This was an incredibly unique and unforgettable stay! The property is lush and gorgeous. We enjoyed bird watching and checking out all of the beautiful plants on the property. The bath tub was fantastic and we loved listening to the frogs and insects at night! We had many visitors during our stay - roosters, cats, dogs…and there were geckos everywhere (outside and inside). The geckos in the bedroom and bathroom were a little startling at first but they were also cute and fun to watch (and we noted that they didn’t crawl into the bed or into any of our stuff). The location was great for exploring the National Park and the area around Hilo, however the neighborhood itself isn’t the greatest. It’s a residential area, with neighbors on each side closer than you’d expect. The roosters were definitely loud in the mornings but quieted at night. Overall I highly recommend this experience, we had a lovely time!
