This is an absolutely charming and eclectic place to stay. Their wonderful artwork and pottery is all over the place - a very lovey touch. Although the cottage is attached to the main house Robbrecht and his wife give you as much privacy as you want. But if you want to sit and chat about life and have him show you around his garden and pottery he will indeed! I just started a raised garden myself and Robbrecht gave me some good tips!
Everything you need is in the cottage - they even provide toiletries which is also a nice touch. Very comfy bed and tons of linens. Large Keurig coffee maker and plenty of good Hawaiian coffee was most welcome.
But if you do want to cook you will need to go shopping beforehand for basics.
This place is conveniently located midway between Hilo and the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and there are shopping centres a few miles away. The village of Pahoa is very close and there’s a surprisingly terrific restaurant there ‘Kaleo’s Bar and Grill’ - with local music.
We appreciated the seclusion of the place and sitting on the porch in the early evening listening to the Coqui frogs singing was magical🤪
Great value! We absolutely recommend this place.
