Puolani Iki-Sweet lil cottage near National Park

Volcano

Offering garden views, Puolani Iki-Sweet lil cottage near National Park is an accommodation situated in Volcano, 35 km from Pana'ewa Rainforest Zoo and 39 km from University of Hawaii, Hilo. This holiday home features free private parking and a business centre. The property is non-smoking and is located 22 km from Kilauea. An adorable cottage enclaved in the middle of a fairy-tale rain forest. Cozy and incredibly well equipped. I don't think we've ever stayed at a more generously equipped place. We were surprised at the attention to detail in ever room and were thankful for it all showed the hosts' incredible generosity. There's a ton of books to read on everything Hawaii; wished we would have stayed until we were done reading all the books. The vegetation all around it is just stunning. The unit is squeaky clean and very well kept. Perfect for exploring the volcano area. ,

Country Cottage in Papa Bay

Papa Bay Estates

This holiday home has 1 bedroom, a kitchenette with a fridge and a stovetop, a flat-screen TV, a seating area and 1 bathroom fitted with a walk-in shower. Towels and bed linen are available in the holiday home. The property has an outdoor dining area. The cottage is a lovely "tiny house." It is off-grid, compact, well designed, and had everything I needed. I loved the screened in porch with a view of the ocean. It was so quiet and peaceful - I slept great there. It is off the beaten track but easy to find - a little sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of tourism. Yet is is not far from Kealakekua, Captain Cook town, Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, and Ho`okena Beach. I enjoyed meeting and talking with Arthur, the host. I plan to stay there the next time I visit my family nearby.
