We took the chance to try out this new place and we were glad we did. Everything in the guest house is still quit new and is fully stocked. We enjoyed breakfast everyday at the porch with a great view; did a afternoon stroll with the ponies and to the coffee farm on the property. We were also lucky enough to have a clear night for a bit of star glazing. Mick the host is very accommodating on anything we asked. He can talk as much as you want it, and yet gives you space if you want it that way. Overall, we would recommend this place to anyone who wants to take vacation on the Hilo side of the big island.
