This beautiful rainforest getaway was absolutely perfect for our visit to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park! Located just 5 minutes from the park entrance, it was a very convenient location. Included with our stay was a homemade breakfast prepared and left in our fridge the afternoon before, so we could enjoy it whenever we wanted the next morning. And, it was delicious! Our first morning we had Hawaiian banana bread, hard boiled eggs, and a beautiful array of tropical fruit: papaya, pineapple and kiwi. The second morning we had homemade Greek yogurt (amazing!) with granola & honey, and coconut pineapple bread 😋 Nicole and her sister make the bread and yogurt themselves, and it was definitely a treat! I was very impressed, as well, with how sustainable and green they run things: everything is provided in reusable glass containers and recycling is available outside the room so the waste level is at a minimum.
Hale 'Ohu went through extensive renovations earlier this year, and the room definitely shows it: clean, modern & cozy. The bathroom is perfectly spot clean, and the room has everything you need: USB charger outlets for phones, a little breakfast nook with a coffee maker and electric kettle, a table indoors, and a little lanai with a couple of chairs so you can enjoy breakfast outside as well. The landscape is beautiful, the location is perfect, and the warm, personal hospitality Nicole provided made this place a highlight on our Big...
Read moreStaying at Hale 'Ohu Bed & Breakfast was one of the highlights of our honeymoon! This is truly a diamond in the rock hidden oasis that allows you to get away from the hustle and bustle of Volcanoes National Park and Kona, for an escape into the lush rainforest of Volcano Village. The setting is quaint, tidy, and makes you feel like you are staying in Jurassic Park. The owners were unbelievably kind upon check-in and even gave us a bottle of wine for our honeymoon that we enjoyed in our room while wearing the provided white cozy bathrobes. The room was spacious, clean, and equipped with a large walk-in rainforest shower. Every morning we enjoyed a delicious prepared breakfast that was left in our breakfast nook the evening prior for us to enjoy at our leisure. Some of our favorites were homeade banana bread and papaya boats. In the evening, we had the pleasure of sitting out on the back porch and watching the view. Hale 'Ohu is located right in Volcano Village and is a 2 minute drive from many great restaurants, including a delicious Thai Food Restaurant and Cafe Ohelo. It is also very close to Volcano winery and Volcanoes National Park. We recommend taking a day to drive an hour straight down the mountain to hike the green sand beach...it is worth it. We highly recommend Hale 'Ohu B&B. It is an oasis that we cannot wait...
Read moreI stayed in this bed & breakfast for 2 nights while visiting Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii. The location is very convenient to the park, and is a really cozy spot. The rainforest walk on the property is really great, if you have a chance to do that - so many beautiful flowers. I especially liked the breakfast that the owners provide—we had delicious homemade banana bread, and pineapple/coconut bread! (It's especially good if you warm it up in the microwave for a few seconds!) There is a cute table by the window for dining, and there's also seating outside. The decor is really nice, and very modern - the bathroom shower is roomy and has great water pressure, and everything is really clean. The room comes with a small fridge, a microwave, coffee/tea, etc. The outlets by the bed include USB for easy phone/device charging. There is a ceiling fan, and a small heater. There isn't much in the town of Volcano, but we had a great dinner one night at the Lodge down the street, and another night at the Ohelo Cafe. The main attraction is Volcanoes National Park, and this BNB is about a 5 min drive from the entrance. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're in the area, and I will definitely stay here again...
