The Guest House in Hilo is a rare exception to the saying that "if it sounds too good to be true then there must be a catch". With little knowledge of Hilo and only a vague idea of what to do during our visit we booked 4 nights and hoped for the best. Morris was very good with communication prior to our arrival. This was vital especially for finding the house in the dark on our first day. When we arrived he and Yuka greeted us like long lost relatives! What a wonderful house full of interesting features, so well-prepared and presented. And they left us some nice extras such as fresh fruit, our first breakfast and chocolates! We enjoyed meeting their dog and Morris gave us a taste test of fruit grown in the garden. He provided suggestions for places to visit and places to eat at Concise practical notes on the local area were also provided so we were able to explore with relative ease. The Guest House at Hilo met and exceeded our expectations. We had an exceptional stay here and definitely recommend it to others.
