Halawai Haven is one of the best Airbnb's I think I've stayed at. My only regret is not being able to stay longer. It is so cute, cozy and comfy, and quite spacious for two people and feels very private. It is one of two apartment-style units on the property, which is lush and green with beautiful plants, fruit trees, vibrant flowers and other vegetation. It is decorated warmly and colorfully with a bit of whimsy; large comfy bed, nice towels and bath products, and Ka'Haiya provided many natural home products including an essential oil diffuser which we really loved. I wish my husband and I could have stayed longer and would absolutely recommend to anyone as a great home base to explore Volcanoes NP (which I think can be done in one long day, including nighttime volcano viewing) and the south point of the island. You can definitely stay closer to the park but in hindsight this place is worth the drive. It is on the South Point road which provides easy driving access to the Papakolea green sand beach (the beach itself is an easy but moderate distance 2.5 mile hike one way, plus a bit of a steep but short climb down and up to actually access the shore/water) and Punalu'u black sand beach which was amazing because of the soft black sand and so many turtles! My recommendation to make the most of the area is to make sure you bring some of your own food to prepare, including packing lunch, since there are limited restaurant options in the area, and many seem to close early and are spaced a bit apart (we were prepared for this). The kitchen is clean and well-stocked to prepare your own meals and a great place to relax after a long day. The resident cat, Puma, greeted us upon arrival which was a major bonus. ;)
