We just stayed 3 nights at the Tea House and it was fantastic. It's a little removed from the town center areas, but still close enough to Hilo and Pahoa to get lunch/dinner. (Quick 25 min drive into Hilo).
The space itself was EXACTLY as it was pictured. We spent every morning on the deck and watched the sun rise (jet lag allowed for early rising) and it was a beautiful view alternating between sunshine and rain fall.
Lynne was super responsive and very respectful of our space (she lives in the main house at the front of the property), and the small touches made us feel very at home.
The bed was nice and firm but not hard, and we love any place that provides extra pillows and blankets. All in all, we would recommend this space to our friends, And hope to return for a stay in the future!
