Enough cannot be said about how lovely it was to stay at Eco Hale. Every little detail was so thoughtfully designed. It was a dream!
The outdoor food prep and kitchen space was super usable. We made pancakes, eggs, stir fries—especially good when made with local produce purchased at the Maku’u Farmers Market—and there’s nothing quite like enjoying a cup of fresh French press coffee on the lanai in the mornings, surrounded by the foliage and chorus of nature. The atmosphere can’t be beat.
The indoor space is small, but designed in a way that is functional and not cramped. The bathroom was peaceful and spacious.
Kaeo provided us with every little thing we could need, and then some. And she was quick with her responses to questions! Get her recommendations for the Hamakua coast and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Eco Hale was about 2 hours from Waipio Valley and 30 minutes from the HVNP visitors center.
If you’re looking to have a remote Hawaiian jungle experience that’s also filled with comfort and hospitality (and so many delicious treats!), then stay here. Thanks again, Kaeo and Karl!
