Aloha Happy Place

Wonderful 1890's home filled with photos & furniture from times past. Goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, variety of fruit & citrus trees & vegetable garden provide a delicious breakfast of mangos, eggs, yogurt, fresh baked breads & juice. The late night showering of another guest was the only drawback & not a reflection on the gracious owner.

Was really nice place to stay because it's on a farm and it was nice to stroll around so my daughter could see the animals.

Check in was simple and quick Loved making a fire after a chilly evening watching the volcano. TV channels were spotty but it worked well enough. Water was hot after you let it run for a minute. Breakfast was good. Homemade yogurt and granola was a nice touch. There were things I wish I had seen earlier (flashlights and binoculars in main room). Was slightly thrown off by all the odds n sods on sale in the common rooms - didnt realize that was something people did.

good hospitality.

If you arrive late, you won't be able to meet the host and need to take some time to get yourself oriented. The house is surrounded by tropical plants, has good privacy. On the other hand, because of the tropical weather and all the plants, room is quite damp, has spider webs, small insects inside. Every room is uniquely decorated, it's pretty fun if you like your room theme. Volcano is a small town, the neighborhood is quite dark after sunset. Most restaurants don't even take dine-ins after 8:30PM.
