Oma's Hapu'u Hideway is an absolute gem! I spent 3 nights here and I wish we had had more time. The house itself is gorgeous, and the location is amazing, extremely convenient to explore the southern part of the island. It is literally 2 minutes away from the entrance of Volcanoes National Park yet you feel like you are secluded in the forest.

Todd lives next door, he stopped by a couple times to make sure everything was fine and he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the island (he gives great tips!).

I honestly can't think of any drawbacks. If you are lucky to find this property, don't even think twice and book it. Next time I go back to the Big Island, I will certainly try to stay here again.
