Hale Ohu is an adults-only B&B that is close to the entrance for Volcanoes NP. We looked for something that was convenient and came across this place on Expedia. The hosts provided a detailed binder as well as daily breakfast in our fridge. Filtered water was provided, and the shower was heated through a tankless system. It’s quite beautiful and historic, the property. A rainforest walk is on site, and driving into the property was its own experience.

There is no AC, but there’s a fan. It was damp outside, but there is a dehumidifier in the room. You really do feel you’re residing in nature when you stay here. WiFi was fast, and I think overall that this is a good option if you’re not traveling with children. There are three rooms on the property.

Final day, we chatted with the co-owner. She was friendly.

The hosts have provided everything that you might need for your Volcanos Natl Park visit. The park and the little town of Volcano are very close by. I would not hesitate to return to this lush little oasis.

No frills bed and breakfast. This is the type of place that you book for serenity and for the quiet atmosphere which was perfect for our trip. It is worth noting that you need to make arrangements to get your access code ahead of time if you think you will have delays in your travel. However this process was easy to do. The property is close to volcano national park and also has an enjoyable rainforest environment as well.

All around amazing. The property itself is fantastic and great for people planning to go to volcano national park. The breakfast each morning was outstanding and more food than the two of us could eat! I don’t think we had a better breakfast anywhere. The only downside is the village of volcano has hardly any lunch or dinner options and dinner places close super early so plan accordingly

Paradise in the rainforest.

This B and B has everything you need for a comfortable stay while visiting Volcanoes National Park. Beautiful rainforest setting. Care and thoughtfulness went into the design of the room. Extra touches were evident: Ample towels, a special makeup remover towel, extra pillows, blankets on the lanai for chilly mornings, umbrellas, flashlight, even earplugs. We enjoyed the provided Kona coffee and wonderful breakfast while watching the rain and listening to the birds from the lanai. A lovely stay, wished it was for more than 1 night.

For example breakfast: you find breakfast in the fridge, along with instructions on how to prepare the warm stuff in the microwave. I especially loved the banana bread! Volcano village itself is a nice and quiet place to stay, we would really recommend it and especially Hale'ohu B&B to everyone looking for a quiet and nice stay near Volcanoes N.P.

A Piece of Paradise

My wife and I spent two nights at this paradise of a B & B earlier this month. We loved everything about it: Nicole and Gabrielle, the co-innkeepers and their thoughtfulness; the spacious and well-furnished room; the delicious breakfasts with the ever-refreshing papaya boats, spinach frittata, Greek yogurt and muesli, freshly-squeezed mix-fruit juice, and the freshly-baked banana bread; the location (it is right at the front door of Volcano National Park) and mere steps away from the many restaurants in Volcano Village); and above all, the grounds of this B & B. It has its own rain forest for you to stroll through, and it has its own botanical garden, too! We devoted some time the next morning just to take in the natural beauty the grounds of this B & B offered, feeling that it more than compensated for some of the currently closed sites within the National Park. If you like serenity and relaxation, natural beauty, modern amenities, close proximity to Volcano Village and Volcano National Park, and being pampered by the innkeepers, then Hale 'Ohu B & B doesn't get better than that.
