The hut and surrounding garden is really a stunning tropical paradise and a true island escape away from the touristy spots of Big Island, yet close to great black beaches, local food and lot of things to do. Also only about 1.5 hours to the Volcano National Park. Although Louisa wasn't there, she had a wonderful friend taking care of us and making us feel very welcome and at home from the first moment! Many thanks for the tips, the nice chats and a fantastic time in paradise! We highly recommend to stay there and would love to come back! It's a pure back-to-nature-experience not to miss!
