Accommodation
- Kohala Village Inn, Hawi
The Kohala Village Inn is a simple and modest plantation-style inn in the center of town. The staff is friendly and the rooms are clean and pleasant. Despite its simplicity, this property is popular with many of our guests and everything is nearby.
NOTE: There is no breakfast included/available but there are several good places to eat nearby.
- Waipi’o Wayside Inn, Honoka’a
Stay as the guest of Jacqueline Horne in this small B&B set above the Hamakua coast. Built in 1932 for a plantation superintendent, the inn retains a real sense of history and the bedrooms feature handmade Hawaiian quilts, antique furniture and original artwork.
- Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Hilo
The Hilo Hawaiian is a modern hotel that sits in parkland just outside of Hilo. The hotel is modern with spacious rooms. The hotel is convenient, clean and comfortable rather than charming though the location – right on the Bay – is nice. The property is 1½ miles from the center of Hilo but there are dining options nearby.
- Hale Ohia Cottages
This cluster of cottages is set on an historic estate centered on a Queen-Anne-style mansion built in the 1930s. Rooms are simple but charming and most have fireplaces. The property is well located, just a short walk to the center of the village. Continental breakfast is provided in the room the night before.
- Ka’awa Loa Plantation
This charming guesthouse is also a start-up coffee farm. The 5-acre estate is nestled in tropical surroundings at 1,200 feet – just below the town of Captain Cook. Owner-managers Greg and Michael are gracious hosts and make a great breakfast. The building is a classic Hawaiian plantation home.
- Volcano House
This hotel – on the very rim of the Kilauea Caldera – is all about location. It is the only hotel in the Volcanoes National Park and the views are spectacular. The hotel was completely renovated in 2013 though the rooms and bathrooms are still relatively modest. The property is 2½ miles from the village but there is a restaurant in the hotel.
- Horizon Guest House
The Horizon Guest House is an elegant inn situated at 1,100 feet on the slopes of Mauna Loa. The inn is set on 40 acres of sloping pasture lands with spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. The property includes an Infinity Edge swimming pool and Jacuzzi. Your host, Clem, is extremely welcoming and well informed.
