Cathy's cottage is a little piece of heaven in a very special location. The tastefully appointed cottage is very clean, private and quiet. The kitchenette includes a rice cooker, large electric fry pans, toaster, microwave, blender, coffee maker as well as a large refrigerator and quality knives. Cathy and Michael are warm, welcoming hosts who will make sure your stay is comfortable.
The location is superb with the stunning sea cliffs of historic Ka Lae (south point) a short drive away. Ka Lae is the southernmost point of the fifty US states and on the same latitude as Puerto Vallarta Mexico. Ka Lae, an archeological zone, is believed to be the first landfall of the ancient Polynesian seafarers who discovered Hawaii. Ka Lae is an outstanding location for photography, pastel work, plein air painting or just reading a good book. Bring lunch, a folding chair, plenty of water and your day will shine. Don't forget the sunblock. There are no clean restroom facilities. For the adventurous, there are two well used porta-potty's. It can be windy.
Nearby Naalehu is a delightful town with basic amenities including a Wednesday farmer's market, a bakery well worth visiting and a nice local restaurant serving deserts like home made macadamia nut cream pie, don't miss it. Ask Cathy for recommendations. There is no food market so bring what you will need for the duration of your stay. Gas and very basic groceries and supplies are available at the in town mini mart.
This is a slow and comfortable part of the Island with warm, friendly people. My stay at Cathy's cottage was outstanding, I expect to return on my next trip to Hawaii Island.
