Located 17 km from Kilauea, Kilauea Lodge and Restaurant offers 3-star accommodation in Volcano and features a garden, a shared lounge and a bar. The property is situated 38 km from Pana'Ewa Rainforest Zoo, 42 km from University Of Hawaii, Hilo and 44 km from The Pacific Tsunami Museum. The inn has a hot tub and luggage storage space. We stayed at the Lodge for 3 nights and fall in love immediately. The staff was very friendly, the room was absolutely cute and perfectly cleaned and the dinner at the Lodge was excellent (you should try the Volcanoes wine made in the area!). Drinking water and parking were for free. The location was great, since we were there for hiking in the Volcanoes National Park, which is only 5-10 mins drive away. You can use the fire place in the common area for free and enjoy a relaxing evening. There is no TV in the room, which we loved. Time to talk and read a book. A rain forest nature trail belongs to the Lodge's area as well.

Would be back a 100 times!

Located in Waimea, Castle Waimea Country Lodge provides a restaurant, mountain views and free WiFi, 37 km from Statue of King Kamehameha and 48 km from Kohala Historical Sites State Monument.

The lodge offers a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with free toiletries, a hairdryer and shower. There is also a kitchenette in some of the units equipped with a fridge. Comfortable, tasteful upgraded country motel. Very clean and lovely fresh furniture. Waimea was a great little town to escape the tourist trap of Kona and the run down Hilo. We wish we had spent our entire time on the Big Island here.

Guests can take advantage of the complimentary shuttle service within the Waikoloa Beach Resort. This family friendly resort offers babysitting services and children’s activities. It’s exceptional. Far exceeded my expectations. It’s not clear in the description that you have full use of the rest of the Hilton resort which is just brilliant.
