This is a delightful retreat to the old Big Island's verdant Puna coast.
Your hosts are more than hospitable, and their simple jungle cottage is cleverly designed, perfectly clean & extremely comfortable for any length of stay. (You may have difficulty being roused out of the hammock, however, so be warned. ; )
Robert & Irene run an ecologically-sustainable home and have sunk their roots deeply into Hawai'i & the aloha spirit... Their cottage - full of hand-finished woodwork - is wonderfully airy & hidden away, surrounded by lush gardens. A ladder to the sunning roof allows one to survey above the treetops, check on the coming weather or the ocean's temperament, or see Pele's alluringly menacing glow come sunset.
We truly enjoyed our stay.
If you wish to escape the increasingly over-commercialized Kona-Kohala coast, to feel the inherently primal power of this ever-changing island where volcanoes are living deities, to walk between green jungle & blue waves crashing on black lava bluffs or relax into the friendly, funky vibe & shops of little Pahoa, come here, you will be glad you did.
