We had a great time staying at the Eco Hale. It is conveniently located close to Volcano, but a bit far from Hilo and the beach areas. The drive off the main road over to the property is somewhat intimidating at first. However, waking up to the lush rainforest surrounding the Eco Hale makes the extra miles well worth it. The Hale was spotless, very comfortable and had everything we needed. It is located separately from the main house on the property, with it's own driveway; making it feel like a private cottage (loved that!). Kaeo was a formidable host and had many little touches that made our stay memorable. It is easy to see that she and Karl put a lot of heart building the Hale and making it so unique. Thanks again for everything!
