Hale Nene was the perfect place from which to explore Volcanoes National Park and the Puna district! Only a 5-min drive from the park and Volcano village,you can't get much closer. The cabin is superbly maintained, and has everything you could possible need for cooking, cleaning up, and getting a great night's rest. Also, there is zero light pollution, so stargazing from the hot tub after a long day of hiking can't be beat! Gary and Donna were also extremely helpful with directions and questions prior to our arrival. This was by far my favorite place I stayed on my Hawaii trip--if you're going to the National Park, do yourself a favor and stay here!
