This is a thematic experience. It truly lives and feels like a plantation cottage, from the design and decor, straight down to the vintage vinyl selection. It’s a great base camp for visiting the park and some of the amenities just outside it, but probably not a place you would want to stay long for visiting other parts of the island. That said, Kimberly’s guidebook is fantastic, so this would be an awesome place to stay early in your trip as she has several great suggestions for the entire island. The outdoor shower is fantastic. Stay here, you won’t regret it if visiting Volcano National Park. Make sure to visit the park after dark to see the lava lake.
