A quiet, very clean and well stocked abode. Tulpe quickly answered my question about washing dishes
We visited Hawaii National Volcano Park, Punalu’u Black Sand Beach, Rainbow Falls, Kaumana Cave, Hawaiian Botanical Gardens and strolled through the Wailoa River State Park. Wishing we had planned an extra day to visit!

Really enjoyed Hilo
I was attending meetings at UH Hilo so the location was excellent for me. The accommodations were modest and perfect for me.
Great value, clean, well maintained. Missed having a TV.

Fine Hilo location
Good location. Should clarify laundry as to whether it is part of package. Done amenities like beach towels, extra blanket and small sharp knives would be good

Peaceful Hilo
Peaceful, quiet and beautiful. I enjoyed it so much. The garden was so nice to look at every day while drinking coffee and playing with the “sweetest” cat Intu! I loved the stay and would definitely come back.
