Our family of four really enjoyed our stay at the Bamboo Retreat. Not only was the property beautiful, quiet and secluded, the home itself was spacious, comfortable, updated and exceptionally well maintained. The beds themselves were very comfortable too.
This is clearly a house that the owners use themselves, as it was well stocked with kitchen tools and supplies. To our pleasant surprise, we were even given some food and coffee, which was very helpful since we arrived late after our flight from the mainland. The lemon tree was in full production — we made great lemonade.
Although this house is a couple miles off the main road, its location was great for exploring Volcano National Park, Hilo and the Puna region. So many fun things to see and do: lava hikes, snorkeling tidal pools, cave exploration, botanical gardens, Uncle Roberts farmers market (Wednesday night).
Certainly a great place to stay on the East side of the island.
