IO's Nest Lookout on the Hamakua
Dream stay
Place is like a dream forest getaway
Place overlooks all of Honomu at 400 meters.
One of the best stays I’ve ever experienced
Loved talking to Krystle about their setup of self sufficiency

We loved enjoying the night sky from the lookout and saw some amazing shooting stars! We’d definitely stay again if we come back to the island.

The views from this location are very nice. It is also very close to Akoka Falls Park.

We loved the Io’s nest! Spectacular view of the Hamakua coast. Super quiet, but not a far drive from Hilo town. There’s an outdoor shower and toilet a little walk away. And bonus- you can pet some donkeys if you’re in the mood!

Sweet Hale
Krystles's home is in a gorgeous area surrounded by plant life. The place feels very private and is perched on the side of a hill overlooking the surrounding flora and coastline. They were super friendly and instructions very clear. So hospitable and had everything I could possibly need. In the morning the donkeys were hugging in the middle of the road, the sweetest sight ever!!! I passed safely by and one of them followed me to the gate, so I got out to make sure he/she didn't follow me out and to say hi, so sweet!!! I told him/her to go back after a few nose rubs and he/she turned around and waited for the gate to close. Best send off ever. Shower was private, hot, and loved the tile texture in the backsplash. Very enjoyable stay here, wish I coulda stayed longer. Mahalo nui loa, Krystle!
