We were at Donna’s for 6 nights, and had a wonderful stay in the very peaceful haven. A fantastic refuge from the city with a well-equipped kitchen. It was easy to cook all our meals.
The road is exactly as described - we were happy for our light 4WD SUV, but found we were happy to have in in other parts of the island as well anyway. Don’t rent a fancy sport car if you’re doing anything other than the main highways on the Big island!
