We were looking for a place close to the volcanoes and ocean. This was the perfect pick. Although we had no trouble sleeping earplugs were supplied in the event the sounds of the rainforest "nightlife" was too much. As there were 3 of us we were thrilled to find a B&B where we could all stay in the same room. Great value, great location, & great food. A special treat was finding a small refrigerator in our room.

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. The house is just a few minutes drive from downtown Hilo, so the location is great. Our hosts were wonderful. Claudia is a great cook and our breakfasts were really tasting -- more food than we could eat. The rooms are beautifully decorated, clean, and very comfortable beds, pillows, linens, and towels.

We did have a bit of trouble connecting with Claudia on check-in, but she graciously offered us dinner on her which really wasn't necessary. The frogs at night are a bit loud -- actually quite loud, but the noise was solved by closing the windows. By the second night I was aclimated and they didn't bother me again.

We look forward to returning. It's a great home base to visit the Botanical Tropical Gardens and Volcano National Park. We highly recommend it.

My God, after my last terrible experience in Noosa, Australia, this place was a breath of fresh air!!! (If you are thinking of visiting Noosa, read my other review). My wife and I had two wonderful nights at this place while visiting Hawai'i on the tail-end of our honeymoon. The host 'Claudia' kindly upgraded our room upon arrival, due to the more expensive room option simply being vacant! The location was relaxing, private and peaceful, with the beach just across the road. The breakfast was AMAZING! Claudia put on a fantastic breakfast with all sorts of yummy treats! If Claudia's breakfasts don't satisfy you then nothing will! And Claudia... what a lovely person! Friendly, great cook, and full of interesting stories! If you stay here take the time to have a chat with Claudia and you will learn a lot of interesting stuff. If you are visiting Hilo this is one place you will feel at home, but at the same time have your privacy as well as experience good conversation and a great brekky. Hoorah for Claudia!!!

We recently spent two nights at this B&B and had a very enjoyable experience. The room was spacious, clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. We enjoyed having breakfast each morning with Claudia and loved the freshly baked muffins and fresh fruit. The lush grounds of the B&B were neat and this was a great location for exploring the Hilo side of the Big Island. We would certainly recommend this B&B to others!
