Hale Apapane is one of our go-to places to stay when we visit Volcano. The property is always spotless, well-appointed and a pleasure to visit. We enjoyed the location, the fern forest, and the host's amenities. We will be back on our next visit.

Perfect home in a stunning location. Enjoyed the peace and restful tropical environment. Took the recommendation from our host and attended the Sunday Community Famers market and had an enjoyable morning. Quick trip to volcanoes, black sand beach, stunning ocean views, lava tubes and Hilo.

Beautiful spot, wish we could've stayed longer

The property was spacious and lovely, the surroundings were lush, and amenities were enjoyable (kitchen, laundry, hot tub, wifi, etc). There was no fruit and english muffins - just 2 individual bags of dried mango... We do not drink coffee... So we made a run for high priced hot chocolate and pancake mix. This location is very convenient to the park but limited in services/shopping. I would stay here again!

We rented this and the adjacent sister home for our group of 14 family. The place was elegant, clean, comfortable and everyone loved the jungle hot tub. And the coquis were a delightful serenade at night. It’s a 5 minute drive to the park.

This is a very comfortable home that is fully stocked. We loved the rainforest views from the large windows. The house is located minutes from the national park which is very convenient. We enjoyed our stay!

We were only a one night stay and the the whole thing was amazing. Located right outside the Volcano National Park was so convenient t. I highly recommend spending some time here. And to top it off the grandkids loved the basketball.

Our family of 5 enjoyed this home very much! It was like staying in a tropical jungle with beautiful, lush landscaping all around and less than 2 miles from Volcano National Park. The home had everything we needed for our stay and we loved the option of sitting on the back deck or in the hot tub after a long day of hiking. The neighborhood is very quite, which we really liked! A great home to feel like you are getting away from it all if that is what you are looking for.

This house is beautiful, on the surface. Our experience started badly when we were charged extra for two persons when we were a family of 4 renting a house that sleeps 8. When we questioned it, the manager became very defensive. By the way, the living room only seats 4 so 8 would be very awkward. The furniture and bedding were tired and worn, the peeler wouldn't go through a potato's skin, and all but two of the dinner plates were chipped. The "fruit for our first breakfast" was an individual bag of dried mango. I'll stop there. We didn't expect everything to be brand new but this was disheartening. It felt like death by a thousand cuts.

Excellent home with hot tub, great location for exploring the island and Volcano National Park.

Booking was easy and we received all the necessary info for check on time. The house looks beautiful, it’s laid out well, has everything you need. Location for accessing Volcanoes National Park is great. However, when we got there, the house has an overall odor of cleaning products. Pledge, glade, or something similar. A few hours in, that odor was taken over by a musty/moldy smell. Now we know why is was heavily scented. There was a little mold on many windows, but the worst area was the master bath. There was a large stain on the ceiling next to the light, the windows and bath/shower wall was covered in mold/mildew. We were only there for 2 nights (4/12/23 and 4/13/23) and I am glad it wasn’t longer. Would not book again.

Beautiful place- we enjoyed the hot tub, the swing in the backyard, the beautiful plants around the property. There was a pheasant couple that came out to hang out with us every day. The frogs at night were magical and the birds during the day soothing. It was the perfect first couple days of our trip.

We had a short stay on the Big Island, and this place was perfect! We loved the jungle setting of this house. The house fit our 4 adults and 4 kids pretty well, the only possible thing could have been a pullout couch for the youngest kids. However, that was a very minor. The kitchen is stocked with enough equipment to make what you want. The layout and decorations were very nice. The driveway was narrow for our 15 passenger van, but felt very secluded, and we loved it. The yard was beautiful and there were pheasants and chickens and lizards all around. The kids loved the covered basketball court, hot tub, and swing. The deck and grill were a nice addition to this house. You are within a few minutes of Volcano National park and a short distance to Hilo. I am very grateful we were able to stay here, and wished we could have stayed longer. Mahalo!

We were 7 - grandparents, parents and children - twins (8) and a 4 yr old. We were all comfortable and had lots of space. The house feels like it is in a wonderful jungle with lush green plants and birds and pheasants around us. We didn’t get to use the hot tub because of our timing but wish we had. The house is well thought out with all that you might need for entertainment- especially a child. The basketball court was a huge hit with everyone especially to be able to be outside when the rain came. Hosts were very communicative and quick to answer questions or give suggestions for meals and seeing the area and national park. We really enjoyed our stay- great drinking water!

It was a dream come true to see the active lava on this trip. This home was the perfect base with its proximity to the park. The home itself is beautiful and the outdoor areas were great. It rained most of our time there but we enjoyed the covered porches and basketball area.

Felt like home.

it was very nice plenty of room wish we could have stayed longer

Really beautiful area…..minutes to Volcano National Park.

The location was great, the house had everything we needed. Would recommend to my friends who are coming here.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Adam's house. He was easy to communicate with and his house is amazing. Thank you for a great stay!

This is a wonderful property in an ideal location in Volcano. Tucked away in the jungle we felt like we were the only person‘s around. Being five minutes from volcano national park was ideal and we were able to thoroughly enjoy our time in the park. We will definitely stay there again.

We enjoyed this lovely home so much, we all wish we had planned for more time here. The property was spotless, and although we didn't do much more than sleep and shower, the home seemed to have everything one could possibly need. Do yourself a favor, schedule an extra day or two outside of the national park to enjoy this lovely property!

This property is so unique and quite a special find. It is extremely close to Volcano National Park which is an added bonus as you can see the park in the day and pop back over at night once the crowds are gone to see the lava. What a treat also to hear all the birds and animals at night as you are truly in a secluded rain forest setting with no one close by. The hot tub was a huge bonus and all the space inside the house. It would be nice to have a few more window coverings in the bathroom but again, no one is around to see in. The host was amazing and gave us many suggestions for places to eat and also informed us of a power outage that had occurred and when it was back up and going again. What a pleasant experience we had and the fresh fruit made a delicious salad for dinner. Would love to stay here again.

Loved the setting for this home in the rain forest. Needs a little bit of furniture updating in the bedrooms and living room. Very nice kitchen and dining room. Bathrooms show signs of needing updating. Cleanliness in the bathrooms can be improved. However, overall it was a very nice experience.

Wonderful place, great proximity to the park and restaurants, clean, spacious, and extremely well organized. Would definitely rent again!!

Beautiful place and very clean. We wish we could have stayed longer to really enjoy every amenity this place had to offer.

Great stay.

We absolutely loved this property! The house was clean with plenty of space for my husband and I and our two adult children. It’s very close to Volcano NP so we were able to view the erupting volcano at night and be home quickly there after. The back patio is perfect for working on a computer with coffee in the morning and enjoying a cocktail in the afternoon. Easy instructions for access and great communication. We loved this stay and highly recommend it!

This house has a deep-in-the-jungle feeling but it is actually VERY conveniently located to Volcano National Park and all the cute galleries and eateries in Volcano Village. The proximity to the park made it easy to return at night to see the glow of the lava lake! The open space design and warm natural woods of the interior create a peaceful environment. We experienced three days of blue sky and sun, which I’m told is NOT typical. But we could see how the games in the living room would provide lots of entertainment options if the weather was cool or rainy. The kitchen was well stocked with condiments, which made preparing meals much easier. The hot tub was relaxing! We highly recommend this house for anyone visiting this side of the big island. Another highlight was driving to the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden (about an hour away) and the lovely 4-mile scenic drive along the coast there. Mahalo!

We stayed at this home May 2022 and it was like staying at a good friend's home. The kind of friend that thinks of all the details to make your stay enjoyable, comfortable and easy! The layout is perfect for couples or families with all the bedrooms on the 2nd floor and you literally see a canopy of tree tops out your window in the morning and have the frogs and birds for your white noise at night. Very clean home and well stocked kitchen down to aluminum foil, spices and all the extra things you need if you want to cook at home. The location is less than 10min to Volcanoe National Park (get an annual pass, so much easier) We went back 3 times in 1 day/night! Adam, our host could not of made the home functions more clear and easy for us and reached out several weeks prior to our stay with a list of restaurant options and additional venues to check out. This one won't disappoint!

Very easy access to volcano, clean and comfortable. Only issue was the lack of heat on the main floor, more heaters could be considered. Thanks!

The house is beautiful and very functional . We stayed only one night but enjoyed the hot tub and shooting hoops in the covered driveway.
