Aloha Jacklynn,
We couldn't believe our eyes when we arrived, such a wonderful place and a wide clearing in the middle of a rainforest. The green cottage so tastefully furnished had everything in it what we needed for our stay incl. a full kitchen. We also loved the semi wrap around lanai with rainforest and ocean views. Exploring the surrounding plantation by taking the 1.2 mile nature trail around the retreat is highly recommended.
Pahoa is apprx 10 min drive away and has all the shopping and food sources one might need incl. a health Food Store.
Kalapana and the lava flow is apprx 15 min drive all the way to the end of hwy 130.
We rented bikes to see the glowing lava drip into the ocean around dusk. What a rare and spectacular occasion. Lava Tree State Park and a couple of beautiful beach parks are also nearby.
Jacklynn, thank you for providing us with the opportunity to let us stay in one of your
lovely cottages which gave us the chance to experience true Hawaiian spirit.
Mahalo
