Our room was a cross between a hotel and glamping. Nothing fancy, very basic. Great location if visiting the Hawaii Volcano National Park (which we were). Good value for the cost

Tropical oasis

This is a unique place to stay. We had the "Honeymoon Suite" complete with a large inroom "terrarium" that looks like it might be a concerted hottub. It's separated from thr living area with glass, and has fish swimming around. Kind of Hawaii cool. The bathroom has a double shower with beautiful inlaid art. The hosts left us fresh fruit and snacks every day, and there's a convenient mini frig and micrwave, as well as dishes and utensils. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. The only negative was the whirlpool tub, which didn't look clean and was located in a somewhat isolated spot. The location is excellent for exploring Volcano National Park, and it met our needs. It's also beautifully landscaped with orchids and tropical flowers. I'd recommend to others.

Loved the secluded feel of the property, I felt like I was in my own little space. Definitely a one-of-a-kind place to stay! Shannon was a great host (and has the cutest little dog!) and long time resident of the area who shared a lot of knowledge about the volcano with me.
