If you don't mind sharing CLEAN (!!) shower and bathroom with other guests, because that is how the place is set up you will be rewarded by excellent friendly service, a laid-back atmosphere, a wonderful tropical garden (in contrast to other places this facility does not only carry the word, IT HAS a tropical garden !!) which makes the stay...

This was our favourite place to stay on the Big Island. The staff were extremely hospitable, friendly and were very helpful with local festivities. It is the only hostel with camping facilities - very cute camping sites located in a lovely magical botantial garden.

Definitely the staff makes this place work ! Although away from some of the island's attractions, the very tropical setting is awesome. A gorgeous and secluded beach is a short 5 minute walk away. I plan to return ! Charlie

Trish and Margaret were very welcoming! Although we were left with a smaller campsite for our tent we were only two so it worked fine for us. Having the pleasure of cooking on a BBQ was amazing and it was a high quality BBQ. Groceries nearby. Warm shower with good water pressure. Note the toads are quite loud at night.... More

We spend 1 week camping in this place. The Staff was very friendly and the bathrooms nice and clean. As said we were camping so i'm not sure about the rooms. The Garden in which the single campsites are located is really worth it. Most Flowers and Trees have tags with the name and origin. 5 minutes away from a... More

I stayed here for a week and couldnt ask for more. I had all the beach parks within walking distance. The tropical garden was amazing and the sound of the coqui frogs and the ocean pounding at night was soothing to my ears. I met some really nice people and the staff was more than helpful. Plus having an ice... More
