4.4 out of 5A wonderful stay
April 12, 2013
We recently enjoyed a wonderful few days at Arts and Orchids. The proprietors of the B&B were such wonderful host who took the time to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We selected the large Garden room, downstairs, which offered more than enough room for the two of us to stretch out. My wife especially enjoyed the jetted tub to soak and relax at the end of the day. Each morning we were greeted with a wonderful breakfast, which showcased a medley of fruit grown on the premises, along with and a delicious homemade granola. And of course, the old standby of eggs, breakfast meat and toast were available for the taking. The road to the property is a little rough in patches as you approach the property. I would highly suggest selecting a rental car with a bit of ground clearance (a two-wheel drive car is fine). Follow the direction provided by the host versus trusting your Garmin and you should be fine. It would also be prudent to try to arrive while there's some daylight left. This will make finding the place much easier. Overall, it's a wonderful place to stay that is off the beaten path. Your hosts will go out of their way to answer all you questions about the local area and make you feel right at home.
4.4 out of 5a perfect piece of Hawaii- it was our first expierience with a bed and breakfast and it was a great one. Jerry and Mark were great hosts and were able to direct us to things to see.Wonderful breakfasts. expecially enjoyed the fresh fruit they grew and the homemade granola. It really felt homey .

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and it was perfectly located for exploring the Puna district and Volcanoes National Park. We felt right at home. Breakfast was scrumptious and Markie was most welcoming and very informative about the area. If we ever return we would definitely stay here again.

Wow! That is all we can stay! A home away from home and more! It felt like staying with family! The breakfast was amazing, homemade fruit salad -from Markie,s garden- homemade granola, breads!!! And plentiful! Sleeping in a rainforest, fresh air and so central to visit volcano, black sand beaches and falls! Thank you for such a nice stay!

Das "Art and Orchids" ist ein idealer Startpunkt in die Ferien. Abgelegen, ruhig aber trotzdem zentral um alle Aktivitäten rund um Puna und Volcano zu erleben. Jerry und Markie sind zwei liebeswürdige und tolle Gastgeber und wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
