Mountain View guest houses

What was good: very private location, surrounded by rain forest, quiet during the day..., a few minute drive to black sand beach (mostly attended by nudists but also people with the clothes on), 20-minute drive to a sleepy village Pahoa (strongly recommend Kaleo’s Restaurant for a dinner). Beautiful green geckos living in the house. What was not so good: it is not such a problem that the accommodation was very basic but it could be cleaner. On entry we noted that the tablecloth was mouldy..., the house was not dirty but it did not feel clean neither, old fashioned hob and very rusty oven, outdoor barbecue was not cleaned for ages and looked if not used for ages. Sauna not inviting and no wood to make a fire. No microwave and no electric kettle. Limited cutlery. 3 pegs for the whole family. Noisy at night due to imported Caribbean frogs koki, which sound nice like birds but you may need ear plugs... The owner did not volunteer with any information. In our case he was not as approachable as commented by others. Having said this we enjoyed our stay in Hawaii.

Really enjoyed our stay here - very helpful and friendly hosts; well presented self contained accommodation. Enjoyed the quietness of the location. Would stay again.
