Hulili Farm cottages are a serene oasis overlooking a grove of litchis and longan trees. We got so friendly with the porch geckos that they even began to walk over us as we were having our breakfast in the outdoor rocking chairs. (Not for everyone, I suppose, but we loved it!) We made day trips to Kilauea Volcano (much closer than from Kona) and to Mauna Kea (be aware, only 4WD vehicles allowed past the Visitor Center at 9,000+ feet elevation). But the cottage was so lovely we were tempted every day just to stay home and luxuriate...
