We had a great time at Hale 'Amakihi! We loved the location, being in the country in a quiet residential neighborhood but still not too far from Hilo and Volcano National Park. Wendy was there to greet us as we arrived, showing us the house and the small details of things we needed to know about the house. The house itself was modest and clean and had all the amenities we needed. We loved the main window in the living room, showing a beautiful view of the backyard and the sheep roaming and sleeping in the grass. We also loved the sound of the frogs at night, it lulled us to sleep each night (but don't worry if this isn't your thing, Wendy has earplugs). We also had our 5 month old baby with us and Wendy was so kind as to acquire a pack n play porta crib for us (so nice so we didn't have to buy and bring one with us!). Overall we had a great time and are so glad we got to enjoy a piece of the big island country at such an affordable price!
