The Lava Lookout is a unique, one of a kind, completely off grid experience. As part of a staycation, had hoped for a star gazing night but caught a rain storm instead. The room is large, the shower is perfect and the view from the balcony onto the lava field is unforgettable. Stop in Pahoa for groceries and you have full use of a full amply equipped shared kitchen. There was coffee in the morning. It's also a good launching spot for many adventures in lower Puna including the world famous Kehena beach, Uncle Roberts and the new black sand beach at Poiihiki. This is the real Hawaii here. Matt was the perfect host.
