Kepi’s hale has everything you need for a very enjoyable stay!! Close to Hilo, not too far from Volcano. About an hour away from Punaluu. Everything you want to explore on the south side of the island is within reach:) And the garden at night is magical!! The coqui frogs at night can be pretty loud so bring your earplugs:) we absolutely loved staying here and we will definitely be back!!! Thanks Jim and Kepi!
