Completely beautiful, otherworldly place to stay! This part of the island is a little more wild than Kona and Lava Hale fits right into that. It’s probably the most unusual Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. Little houses on the black lava fields look surreal and I was a bit taken aback driving in. Quickly settled into the cozy little house with creature comforts like fresh fruit, a lantern, even a telescope. Nearby Kehena black sand beach is STUNNING. Highly recommend spending a sunset there if you drive in from Kona over Saddle Road. Starry skies are magic, just as everyone says. The more remote location gives you that. No light pollution, completely quiet except for the wind. Honestly it was a little eerie as a solo female traveler but I felt safe. And its still relatively easy to drive an hour or so to spend a day at Volcanos National Park. An unusual and incredible stay, you should do it if you want a little adventure and some big night skies!!
