About this apartment rental

Set on a quiet street in historic Volcano Village, Hiʻiaka Guesthouse is a private, romantic pied-à-terre on the second floor of a beautiful 2-story custom home. Surrounded by old-growth ʻōhiʻa forest, and overlooking a lush and peaceful garden, the guesthouse offers a distinct treehouse-like experience and sublime closeness to nature. The entrance to the Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park is just a 5-minute drive, while the Village shops, restaurants and art gallery are within walking distance.

The entire second floor is reserved for the exclusive use of our guests. A private staircase leads from the parking area to a large dining porch with vaulted ceilings and skylights. From here, double doors open to the bright living room and fully equipped kitchen with custom wooden cabinets and a breakfast bar. The open plan, generous windows and high ceilings throughout the home offer a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience, while the warm wood floors and tasteful furnishings blending Japanese and Polynesian elements imbue the space with a sophisticated yet casual feel that is true to the spirit of Hawaii’s rich cultural fusion.

The bedrooms are equipped with a California King and a queen-sized bed, and fitted with high quality linens. For our smallest guests, we provide a brand new BabyBjörn travel crib. You’ll also find a small desk with laptop-friendly workspace in the master. In the bathroom, a Spanish-tiled bath & shower combo featuring a large bay window offers unobstructed views into the pristine forest surrounding the house and invites you to luxuriate in the tub after a long day of hiking. Toiletries and ample towels are provided.

There is free WiFi throughout the property, a wireless universal phone charger in each bedroom, and a USB port for charging your devices in the kitchen. In the living room, you’ll find a Bluetooth speaker and a selection of carefully curated Hawaiian literature. Laundry facilities are available on the ground floor.

Perfect for honeymooners, birdwatchers, nature lovers, small groups of friends, artists, writers, and those seeking a unique and relaxing rainforest experience, Hiʻiaka Guesthouse is the perfect sanctuary to wake up to the sounds of local birds and watch the evening mists float through the treetops.

The local contact lives quietly in a separate downstairs unit. She is always available to you for assistance or suggestions but will otherwise leave you to enjoy the guest house and gardens in complete privacy.

Please note: To keep Hiʻiaka Guesthouse a place of rest and inspiration, there is no television in the home. Due to the rainforest surroundings and absence of neighbors on all sides of the property, we have also chosen not to use window coverings.

The backdrop is absolutely stunning. Windows peaking into the surrounding rainforest make for a very cozy afternoon. However, the place needs a little love to make it more user friendly. There is a very overpowering musty smell which was impossible to air out. That may come with the territory of a foggy rainforest, but in combination with the somewhat dated furnishings, it felt like a place that's been a bit neglected. Also, the bed in the spare bedroom is extremely hard and impossible to sleep on without needing a chiro in the morning. All in all, while we loved the surrounds and enjoyed having dinner on the balcony, we were left somewhat disappointed .

It takes a bit of effort to get there but then you are transported to a rainforest hide away where the only sound you hear is the birdsong, tree frogs and sometimes the gentle rain. You are in a lovely green cocoon away from the hustle and bustle. Explore the beauty of the east side! We had one small problem, I mention it not because that was too difficult to deal with, but to show you the owners did everything to make it right. It’s nice to know they care about your experience.

Such a lovely place to stay in volcano, superb location! Very comfortable, the master bedroom bed was extremely comfortable. Anything we needed Aurelia was there to help. I would recommend this place to our Ohana and would book again. I would however recommend the family invest in a gas grill for some outdoor cooking on the beautiful lanai. x

Great, restful stay. Exceedingly comfortable and restful. We enjoyed the furnishings and beds/comforters were excellent. Your mother Aurelia was gracious and we had a lively conversation. We’d love to come back.

Love, love, love this property! Fit our needs perfectly! Ask before you buy or rent, this house has just about everything you would need. Ask Aurelia or Joey about needed items. Aurelia had snorkels, towels, chairs, and a cooler. The house was well equipped- coffee, sugar, tea, bath products, laundry!! Thank you!!

This is a fantastic property with a fully secluded feeling. The property is surrounded by forest and is high enough in elevation that it stayed really cool during our stay. We spent several of our mornings and evenings out on the balcony, taking in the ambiance. The surrounding forest is beautiful and serene. The property is close enough to volcano that it's easy to watch the sunrise at the volcano national park. It's still close enough to Hilo that we were able to hit the city on multiple days for activities.
