Best for

Travel tips
Plan your ground transportation: the property is in a rural area, Hilo International Airport is about 24.8 km away, and Waimea-Kohala Airport is about 81.3 km away; local transit details are not provided. For meals, nearby options include Ohia Lehua Cafe (about 7.2 km), Wyatt’s Place (about 7.6 km), and Kurtistown Cafe (about 11.0 km). Guests report that the bathroom is separate from the cabin, so account for the short outdoor walk, especially at night or in rain.
