The Inn is on a beautiful property that is accessed via a gate protected private road. The waterfall is amazing and very peaceful. It is not your standard hotel as there is no TV or standard amenities, however there is a common area kitchen space with shared refrigeration and appliances.

Loved the sound of the falls. This place is actually a great value compared to other options in this part of the island especially because of the free breakfast and coffee/tra available throughout the day. They offer optional paid activities which are great and unique. Access is thru a very long, single lane road so best to arrive during the day.

We loved it. We paddleboarded and kayaked around the waterfall, which is beautiful , btw. We had an excellent breakfast. The service was stellar. We loved our room with views of the waterfall.

We really liked that they are self-sufficient, they produce their own electricity using the waterfall in the picture. There we can grab bananas from trees, the dining terrace has a nice view of the waterfall and lush vegetation around. We missed (a little) an air conditioning system in the room and it is hard to get there without a rental car. All in all a very pleasant stay.

Lovely inn right next to a waterfall with great activities. Beautiful and secluded, well worth the extra little drive from Hilo. The resident cat was super friendly. The included (with an overnight stay) breakfast was delicious.
