A wonderful, relaxing stay at this unique location. Incredible views of the ocean and a savanna-like view from the back. If you love animals, this is a great place to stay. My wife became besties with a lap sitting duck.
Be aware that there aren't a lot of food options in Honomu open past 6, so stock up in Hilo beforehand. The house has everything you need but since it's 100% solar powered, you won't find power hungry appliances like microwaves, electric kettle or coffee machine. If you love a cup of coffee in the morning like we do, be sure to learn how to use a stove top coffee percolator.
We admire Sandra's commitment to building a 100% self sustained home and wish more stays could follow this approach. Thanks for an amazing, memorable stay!
