Rainbow Dreams Cottage is situated on the beautiful Puna Coast of the Big Island,
approximately thirty miles southeast of Hilo. Set amid a century-old grove of
coconut palms, the cottage faces directly to the Pacific Ocean, where
spectacular
sunrises set the tone for each day. Just a few hundred yards
down the
road is the picturesque village of Opihikao, which consists of a
Congregational Church and an emergency telephone. In other words,
there is not a lot of nightlife, except for the occasional shooting star!
Along the coast in this rural region, you will discover special places to explore,
from scenic parks to sheltered coves. Three miles from the cottage is exotic
Kehena Beach, where palms and ironwood trees frame a lovely crescent of
black sand. Two miles in the other direction is MacKenzie State Park,
where steep lava cliffs form a rugged, rocky shore. MacKenzie Park also has
interesting hiking trails and accessible caves for spelunking. Five miles from
the cottage is Ahalanui State Park with a naturally heated salt-water swimming pond.
And, a little further down the road is Kapoho Tide Pools for
some of the best snorkeling on the east side of Hawaii.
