Hawaii Island Resort

This rundown nut farm is the worst; Roosters crowing all night long, barking dogs, poisonous centipedes on the floor, dangerous wild pigs and a woman in charge who is horrible, no breakfast and no place to eat in the area, pass it by, there are far better choices, and also, i recommend, if you do stay, document, and report to the better business bureau, health department, and licensing for shutting down. This woman tries to show being helpful but don't look the other way.

I don't know quite what I was expecting here. We knew it wouldn't be a 'resort' in the normal sense of the word and it isn't, but I loved it. Very laid back. The lady who runs it is charming and the two dogs were great. I particularly like Airedales anyway, so I admit to some bias. They were well behaved and friendly and a firm 'no'(not shouted) when they came inquiring about food was enough so they didn't bother us any further as we sat outside with our noodles, providing us with entertainment as they played together. Sitting outside with a glass of wine looking up at all the stars was a great way to spend our last night on the big island, definitely a recommended thing to do. Feeding yourself is a bit of an issue. Past guests have abused the kitchen facilities in the house so you are now restricted to the kettle, coffee machine, microwave etc. up on the veranda and the local diner shut at five on the night we stayed (I think its open a bit later on some other nights so we couldn't eat out, but there is a couple of quite well stocked local stores to get yourself sorted for a night or two. If you are camping here with all your own kit, obviously this won't be any problem. I rather wish we had stayed here for an extra night and one less in noisy Hilo for visiting the volcanoes etc.

Rooms are large and super clean! Working dogs Zeus, an Aerdale and Estana keep your stay fun with their joyful antics and the grounds clear of any other animals for the campers! Kelly and Alex answer any questions and actually took me and another guest on a tour of the wet side of the Island all the way to the top of the Island.🏝️ Super informative and couldn’t have been any kinder! Had a great cross section of visitors from all parts of the world from the campers to the house guests. I couldn’t have felt more welcome and comfortable! Would definitely recommend!
