I’ll start with the good - this is quite a cute little cottage located on a large plot of farming land with nice views over the coast and nice sunrises. The host and her assistant are both very nice and helpful. The room while basic is nice enough and the kitchen adequate to be able to make simple meals. The description to find the place were accurate and check in was easy. Now the not so good - the bathroom for this cottage is attached to the cottage next door meaning you have to go out at night and across the path into next door’s building if you want to spend a penny. This also means you can’t leave your bath bag in there either as the room needs to be unlocked all day. We arrived amid torrential rain which meant a trip to the loo not only meant having to put on some clothes but getting wet too. The next point is you have no private outdoor spaces to yourself. The cottage itself is stuck in the corner of a field, hemmed in tight by two other cottages and there is no view to speak of from the cottage. The only outside space for relaxing are two communal decked areas for use by everyone, one of which is excellent, but it’s not just yours. We were also under the impression that we were in the middle of some farmland and would therefore be quiet but this was not the case. The back of the house where you sleep backs onto a road used quite heavily by normal traffic and farming machinery. As a finish, it was a good central location for trips to Akaka Falls, Waipio, Honoka and even Hilo. We felt it should have been more clear that the cottage had no private space of its own, that the only relaxing areas are communal and for sure that the toilet is in another building. The information was there loooong down in the description but felt it was almost hidden rather than making it clear. Whilst we sort of enjoyed our 3 day stay in the area the simple fact is we would have stayed somewhere else if we knew the bathroom was elsewhere, there was no outside space to ourselves and that the cottage itself was surrounded by other cottages. Aaaall that said, I want to be fair to Sidra, it’s a nice cottage, the sun deck is great, there’s things you can do on the farm, the view is great, Sidra is very nice and the location is great.
