Recommendable

The property is somewhat off the beaten track, that is exactly what we were looking for. Our friendly host Katherine did her very best to make us feel home and really welcome. At the first day we had a problem finding the place. That was due to some issues on our side while Katherine really did her best to help us finally get to her place. She even drove to areas where she thought she might be able to pick us up. Also, she helped us to schedule our excursions by giving useful tips. We experienced the property itself as an open area where everybody could stay and communicate or have a meal. The bathroom has a shower and is in good working order. On a future trip we won't have to search around because we would like to stay with Katherine again.

Not as promised in the ad

The ad said that there was a kitchenette. In order to keep our things called we had to buy ice in town and put it in the cooler. There was no microwave and most importantly, the water in the shower would switch from hot to cold folks get burned with that hot water, There was no one available to answer questions.

Authentic Puna district experience

It’s pretty much as advertised. Rustic. But charmingly so. The coqui frogs at night are a great soundscape. Your kitchen facilities are in your room: a two burner propane stove, refrigerator is a large cooler and ice is provided. There’s a frying pan, tea kettle, and dishes, cups, and silverware. I chose it for the proximity to Kilauea. About a 25 min drive. I enjoyed it.

Rustic and primitive accomodations

If you want the absolute bare essentials look no further. This is a step up from the shacks in Waa'waa or Opihikao but there is little insulation so be prepared to hear every sound and footstep from adjoining cubicles. The property is serene but the actual accomodations are rustic and primitive. The shower pressure and temperature is sporadic at best and you have to keep adjusting the temperature as it's either scalding hot or too cold.
