Wouldn't stay here again

The room wasn't clean, the bathroom sink and table with the kettle hadn't been cleaned since the last guest. I asked for more teabags and got a handful presented to me in a dirty hand. The food was poorly cooked pub style, straight out the freezer. I was there a few nights and had a pizza delivered the last evening. I wanted to like the place but couldn't

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
On checking into our room, we found there to be only 1 towel despite the booking being for 2 guests. On requesting another towel we were told that they would have to put 1 in the dryer & we could have it ‘later’ One of the pillow cases on the bed was soaking wet & the extra pillows had no pillow cases in them. The toilet seat was not fixed to the toilet so was dangerous. Many items were unavailable from the menu & breakfast was only served from 9am-10am. On the whole a very disappointing stay which we will not be repeating.

Loved staying here and will be back. Really friendly owner who made sure I was given all the information I needed. Really made to feel comfortable. I shared a twin room which was really tasteful, extremely clean and more than enough space for two of us. Highly recommend! Thanks for having us.

Stunning Boutique Hotel on the country side

Stunning countryside beauty. Boutique hotel with the most professional staff. The food for breakfast is rich in freshness. The staff is absolutely attentive to guest detail. Will book again anytime traveling on that part of the big island.

Very nice hotel if you have a car

Had to stay 2 nights to attend a convention nearby. I booked this very last minute. The room was very comfortable and clean. bathroom was very clean too. Great breakfast. The garden in the back was a so quaint to sit in before breakfast. Although I found out I paid a lot more than some other people attending the same convention who had booked through a different site. Area lacked public transport.
