The Mac nut cottage was a great value. For the size of the space it was comfortable for my family of 4 plus our baby. We enjoyed our time in Hilo at Marvallee’s place. The kids loved the lizards and the space around the house for exploring. We saw a wild pig which was exciting as well. It was convenient to restaurants and other places we visited while in Hilo. Marvallee herself was extremely gracious and accommodating as we had a late night red eye and we’re able to check out late. I would absolutely recommend staying here!
