Pua was a lovely host and she made sure I had everything I needed and was very welcoming. The cottage is very cute, comfortable and had everything I needed. It is located just a few minutes drive north of Hilo at the beginning of the gorgeous scenic route which leads you to Onomea Bay and the Tropical Botanical Gardens.
The kitchen was well stocked, so I was able to make a couple of meals while I was there, which I appreciated. The living room has a beautiful view of the trees and is very peaceful. Though Pua lives on the property in an adjacent house, the cottage is very private. If you're spending some time near Hilo and want to fall asleep to the sounds of nature, this place is ideal - it was so peaceful! I just loved my stay!
