Bananarama is set on "Seaview Farms" near the Red Road in the small Kalapana Seaview neighborhood 1/3 mile (5 minute walk) from the gorgeous ocean-front park and cliffs, and 1 mile from Kehena black sand beach. This is in the Puna district of the Big Island. One can easily spend a week within a half-hour drive of the cottage. The Red Road is an official Scenic Byway, and is the longest, least developed coastal road in all of Hawaii. This area is known for being very LGBT friendly.

Other Things to Note

Eco-conscious, using LED lighting, quadruple filtered (including Ultraviolet) rainwater catchment water supply, and on demand water heating. Surrounding property is a sustainable, tropical fruit farm.

The historic plantation town of Pahoa is a 20 minute drive away. It offers grocery, natural foods and drug stores, gas, and is home to some great foodie spots and affordable farmer's markets with fresh local produce.

Cell phones generally do not work well in this part of the Big Island. Often Verizon & AT&T signals work from the ocean front park. The Cottage has WiFi calling for phones that can access it and a land line with free long distance. Other WiFi calling options such as FaceTime and other services work well.
