We loved our four-day stay at the Rainforest Cottage. The place was perfectly clean, well-supplied, and tastefully decorated. Matt was prompt to answer any inquiry, and check-in went smoothly. The location, between Hilo and the volcano, was perfect for us. We visited the national park, once at night to see the red glow of the lava lake, and once during the day for hiking and sight seeing. We also got around the east side to all parts of Hwys 130, 132, and 137 reachable by vehicular traffic. The north Puna beach road was especially beautiful, as well as parts of 137 that we could reach. We enjoyed the hot pools at Isaac Hale Park and the black sand beach further south. This was our first time staying in Puna, but hopefully not the last!
