My husband, our 5-year-old son, and I spent 4 nights at the Kali Malu cottage and found it to be very convenient, comfortable, picturesque, and homey. It had everything we needed, and then some. It was like visiting a friend's place and feeling right at home. There are a few minor ceiling stains, but the place is quiet and very... More

Our family of 3 stayed at Nohea Cottage for 3 nights and absolutely *loved* it. This was by far our favorite place to stay on the Big Island-- so beautiful, so cozy, so lush. The cottage is surrounded by tropical rainforest, green and full of life. The singing of tropical birds was our soundtrack from sunrise to sunset. The cottage... More

We stayed here as an extended family in mid-December, and absolutely loved it! We appreciated all the special "small touches" that were provided. It was certainly our home away from home. Between the 4 adults, we have travelled extensively, and can only rave about this place. We would not hesitate to recommend these cottages to anyone! More

We stayed at Kate's cottage for 2 nights while we were visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The cottage and the surrounding area is like a cottage out of a fairy tale. The cottage is located in dense tropical forest like lush surroundings and is located at a short drive from the Volcano NP. Kathryn has taken great pains to furnish... More

The owner greeted me upon arrival, went over the nearby sites and restaurants, etc and made me feel very much at home. In addition, the owner communicated with me extensively ahead of time and...

Kathryn left us with a lot of stuff we might need and we did use the umbrellas when when it started pouring outside. It is only a short drive to the park so you have a full... More

Was great to stay in a cottage with character and quality. Beautifully handcrafted, clean and situated in what felt like your own piece of rainforest - verdant and lush. Much appreciated touches with the provision of dvd's, maps and books to settle in with for a cosy night. Additionally, easy to nip to the volcano to see the night or... More

I stayed in Nohea for 3 nights, and it was magical! It's in a rainforest but you are close enough to easily get to the volcano at night to enjoy the bright orange glow below and the breath-taking stars above. The cottage is well-outfitted for enjoying a peaceful evening--a great hot tub and a deck; dvds on the volcano as... More

The cottage was very clean and beautiful. It felt like a high end hotel suite. The kitchen is complete with pots, pans and many appliances. We were left coffee, tea and dry cereals. There are several nearby stores where you can buy eggs and milk. The location is convenient to the volcano park. Kathryn has many extra items available for... More
