Halana Lodge - Volcano

A truly lovely place on the hillside of the Volcano surrounded by fern trees. The place is large and the rooms comfortable and clean. Breakfast was great and prepared directly by the very friendly hostess. She shared all relevant information about the exciting area. A perfect place to relax from the activities of the day and prepare for the next one. […] Fast internet access available. Przeczytaj więcej

We spent 3 great nights at the Halana Lodge, and loved every minute there. The location is excellent, the home is very large and comfortable, and the hostess is quite welcoming; she truly enjoys sharing information and recommendations about the area. This was a good home in which to relax after the many activities available in the Volcano area.

I would not recommend this location as the B&B. We stayed several nights. One morning we were asked to clean up after ourselves, another morning we were told we could make breakfast ourselves. The bathroom floors were still dirty and the hostess tried to be friendly but didn't do a very good job.

This is a large seven bedroom lodge, and we had it all to ourselves. No one else was there. It rained all the time and was fairly cold. Hot tub was only tepid so we didn't make use of it. The little wood stove did not work so we heated the place with the kitchen oven and a couple of little portable heaters. This is supposed to be a bed and breakfast; […] however, the breakfast part was mostly missing. The hostess left us alone and we read books most of the time when we were there. She only fixed breakfast for us one of the three mornings although there was plenty of food in the refrigerator that we made use of. It is located about 3 miles outside of Volcano so it's very isolated and quiet, which was OK for us since we were wanting a quiet get-away. It's fairly close to Kiluea crater and the National Park. Several good cafes in Volcano. Przeczytaj więcej

Driving towards the hotel in the middle of a rainy night felt like being in a horror movie - the road was getting smaller and smaller, no lights that we could see, and the GPS told us, "arriving at destination on left", and all that we could see was what looked like a small farm road. We decided to drive on for as long as the road remained paved, and […] after what seemed like an eternity but probably was more like 1/4 to 1/2 mile we finally saw the Halana Lodge on the left (after seeing a "sleepy hollow" sign on the right). The Halana Lodge is a what I would call a private lodge situated in what looks like a large single family house, and the owners (who stay in their own house) provide breakfast every morning (although we did not have the opportunity to sample their breakfast due to our busy schedules - yes, we would head out around 6am every morning to catch the good morning light for photography). The lodge probably has about half a dozen rooms, large lounge areas and a hot tub on the deck. The Lodge is very clean and quiet, and it was a welcome difference to the hustle and bustle of Waikiki where we arrived from. Przeczytaj więcej

The service was outstanding and the breakfast the next day was truly remarkable with home made pancakes.

Yes, it is a 5 minute drive from the main highway and not that easy to find, but the place is a gem. Run by two committed hosts this lodge with only a few rooms makes you feel at home instantly. Breakfast is personally prepared and delicious. It is the ideal stay for visiting the vulcanoes, plus the tips given by the hosts are priceless

Very clean! The house was big enough to be comfortable for all guest. We went out and enjoyed the hot tub outside shielded from the rain. Very relaxing! Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was amazing!!!

First, I have to say that the owners are really very nice people. I just don't think they have quite captured the essence of running an inn. I would have given this 1 star except for them being so nice. I appreciate the work they are doing but... This is actually a B&B. Older large home with bedrooms converted to lodging rooms. It was clean enough but […] carpets were old, stretched out and place was very humid inside. We arrived to find a post-it on the door advising us which room was ours and nobody around. The owner showed up about an hour later. He was very nice and gave us hints about visiting the volcano at night. We could hear other people talking in other rooms (all the doors were hollowcore) but didn't actually see anyone around until the next morning at breakfast, where we met the other 9 guests. A large bottle of Suave shampoo and liquid soap covered the amenities in a shared bathroom. When I travel, I avoid hostels but that is more of what this was like. For the price, I expected much better. Breakfast was 1/2 a papaya with 1/4 banana and 2 grapes, fruit juice, coffee, part of a bearclaw, a 3" square baked omelet casarole and potatoes. Not enough for any normal man but OK for us. It was served promptly at 7:30 (I'm more of an 8-9 person on vacation.) If you decide to stay here, the road in is very long and gets narrow at end. It's about 10 minutes north out of town in the jungle part of the area. I appreciated the owner mailing my jacket back to me after I left it in the room... I was surprised however, that after 6 days, he had not checked the closet in the room we had stayed in and says he didn't usually do that. Przeczytaj więcej

The Lodge provided a very relaxing atmosphere. There was a large common area where you sit quietly and read. Internet access if you needed to find out about the rest of the world. The location had a pleasant garden. Most importantly the lodge keepers were friendly but not intrusive. They provided an excellent breakfast and went out of their way to […] help when we had to leave early to catch a flight on the last day. We really enjoyed our stay! Przeczytaj więcej

Bei Ankunft war nur Zettel an Tür, dass hintere Tür offen ist und wir anrufen sollen - durch die abgelegene Lage war dies bei oftmaligen Netztverbindungsfehler etwas mühsam. Leider war der nächste Tag ein Sonntag und wir mussten unser Frühstück selbst zubereiten, ohne vorher eine Einweisung über Lodge und Küchenequipment durch die Vermieterin bekommen […] zu haben. Sie kam dann am Morgen des 2. Tages (Montag) und bereitete ein sporadisches Frühstück für uns alle zu - bei dem Preisleistungsverhältnis eigentlich nicht tragbar! Alles in allem eine wildromantische Vulkan-Gegend, sehr abgelegene Lodge, aber leider, wenn sich Ambitionen der Vermieterin nicht ändern, nicht zu empfehlen... Przeczytaj więcej

Sehr erholsam. Für die Ausflüge zum Vulkan perfekt. Man hat alles, was man braucht + persönliche Ansprache der Wirtin. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.

Ce lodge est idéalement placé pour les personnes souhaitant visiter le Volcano national park. Les house keeper sont extrêmement gentils et le petit déjeuner préparer par Annie est un régal. Jacuzzi pour se détendre en fin de journée. Très bon endroit. A recommander

Das B&B legt sehr ruhig und abgeschieden, ca 10 Min. Autofahrt von Downtown Volcano und dem Nationalpark. Besonders von Aussen ist dem Haus anzusehen, dass ein bischen Renovierung Gut wäre. Auch die Gemeinschaftsküche könnte etwas Auffrischung vertragen. Die Zimmer sind gut, sehr sauber und geräumig und der Service des Verwalter-Ehepaars gut.
