“Super location and wonderful hosts!”
+Gorgeous location, Raven and Mark were wonderful hosts! Every morning there was a beautiful breakfast table with fruits, coffee and food. Mark has great recommendations for local spots. Very gentle and generous people, lovely home.

+Absolutely loved our stay!!! Felt so peaceful and such a wonderful way to slow down. Raven and Mark pour their hearts and souls into this property, and it clearly shows! We cannot wait to be back.

“I'll be blessed to be able to visit again.”
+Raven, Mark, and Becky were fantastic hosts, and if their description aligns to what you suspect you're looking for you will love your stay. You'll be staying on the Red Dirt Road with two people who love the area, and are eager to help midwife whatever you're looking to get out of your visit: Prayerful, or partying. Rejuvenating, or energetically active.
−Overall, everything is perfect. But in the interest of providing a critique to ensure people know a real human is writing this: The outdoor bathtub was a bit janky.

“Amazing location combining the rough coast with the volcano experience.”
+The owners, Raven and Mark, were outstandingly friendly. They provided all the support possible and gave us a lot of local information you won't find in tours or books. But the stunning fact here is that you live right at the oceanfront, at a lava field going into the sea. As sad as it has been for the community that was destroyed years ago, it offers a unique experience with private beach access, giving you stunning mornings with the rough sea, the palm trees, and the chance to be completely alone at the rocky beach. The breakfast, freshly made and offered on the terrace with a perfect view, has no comparison. As described, this is a family-inclusive stay, distinct from all-inclusive resorts, with a personalised flair.
−It is a little bit far from grocery stores or restaurants, but it is perfect as a base for exploring the Volcano National Park during the day and having a quiet refuge for the night when you have a car. You must get used to the frog noise, or better, bring some earplugs for the night.

“We enjoyed every day there.”
+Great place, beautiful garden, delicious breakfast, we had even an electric kettle to boil water for tea in our room and fresh fruits in the fridge. Raven and Marc are great hosts, we had everything we needed.

“Wonderful and calm. Definitely a great spot if you want to relax.”
+The peace and relaxation it provides. Easy access to coast line, lava flows, watch the sun set, hear the birds and frogs singing.

“A wonderful stay that energized us, informed us, and made us feel like family.”
+Great lodge if you are looking for a quiet place by the sea! The hosts are excellent and make you feel at home. Amazing breakfast is served on the deck, providing a great view of jungle, lava, and ocean! Excellent WiFi if needed. Excellent location for exploring the nature of the south side of the island abc the volcano park.
−No complaints at all!

+Raven and Mark were wonderful hosts and very accomodating. There was a complimentary bowl of freshly picked fruit, cool drinks and banana bread in our fridge on arrival. Raven also makes a lovely fruit breakfast. The house is about 50m from the beach (not swimmable due to strong currents and waves) but beautiful to see. It's worth noting that there are 4 cats roaming in and around the house. They are very cute and friendly but worth knowing in case you have cat allergies.
−We initially booked the family suite but didn't realise there was no AC in that room (that was our mistake as its clear in the info on booking.com). The family suite has three large beds in there. The toilet is attached in a small separate bathroom but the shower and toilet are outdoors in the garden which we didn't realise. We realised this wouldn't work well for us and our young son, and Raven was very kind and got the upstairs room prepared instead (which has its own en suite) and we were able to stay there. There is AC in that room. The balcony/sea views are from a communal living space upstairs.

+The large room is cozy for a well-equipped and special stay. Lacking a sink, the shower outside is a special experience. Every morning you got a halloumi fruit salad. Lovely people hosting. The husband recommends recommendations for very successful trips.
−In the big room: There is no air conditioner , stagnant air, no sink In the kitchenette, I would improve the shower so that the curtain does not stick to me when I take a shower. There was nowhere to wash dishes.
