B&B: Royal Orchid Suite mins from Volcanoes National Park

Enjoy peaceful Big Island Hawaii in a Contemporary Hawaiian Bed & Breakfast set in a Tropical Rainforest directly outside Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. The custom designed & built Craftsman Cottage style home features artisan beds with fine linens, private baths, cozy fireplaces and a tropical breakfast.

We are nestled in a native Hawaiian rain forest in Mauna Loa Estates with giant ferns and Ohia trees in the storybook arts community of Volcano Village.

The Royal Orchid Suite is named for the wild orchids you will see growing both in our rainforest and in the nearby Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. The Suite is a private large master suite situated away from the main part of the house, with views of the native fern rainforest. The room features a handcrafted rattan King bed with elegant tropical bedding, and a gas fireplace. For a thoroughly romantic and relaxing evening, the Royal Orchid Suite room has a Jacuzzi style tub. French doors lead to an outdoor deck where you can sit and enjoy the fragrant smell of wild forest ginger or exotic tuberoses, or just take in views of the magical rainforest. A collection of Hawaiian botanical prints and original artwork delight and soothe the spirit.

Gas grill available on request.

Lava Pond Lodge Bed & Breakfast is located in the storybook village of Volcano Hawai'i, a community of artists, writers and scientists. We are secluded in the forest yet just 5 minutes from the entrance of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park with its spectacular hiking trails, scenic vistas and lava viewing. Volcano is 27 miles from the Hilo airport and 96 miles from Kailua- Kona.​

A Different Side of Hawai'i
Our hosts Sarah and Rhonda were wonderful, the property is beautiful, well-maintained and very welcoming. Parking was never a problem. Every morning, they had a great breakfast consisting of a tropical fruit medley, a nice selection of breakfast breads and a featured hot dish to start your day. In addition to the refrigerator in our room, was a central refrigerator with water, juice and ice that was also big enough to store any leftovers that might not fit in our room refrigerator. There was always a basket filled with bags of chips and packaged cookies in addition to a plate of big, soft cookies. Our room was spacious, had a fireplace that warmed the room at night when it got chilly outside, and a nice little outdoor area to sit and enjoy the backyard which was full of beautiful tropical growth. The bathroom was spacious as well and was stocked with all of the necessary soaps, shampoos, etc. At night you could hear the tree frogs chirping. The only issue was with the hot tub in the bathroom, which was a major reason for booking this particular room. As it was later explained to us, the hot water came from a different source separate from the sink and shower, so in order to fill up the hot tub, you had to run the water, wait for it to get hot - which it did for a short period - turn it off, wait, and then repeat the process over and over. This was very time-consuming and resulted in cool water at best, and also the hot tub jets wouldn't work. This was a big disappointment.

Perfect Stay
My husband and I stayed here for a few days while visiting Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and absolutely loved our stay. The space was very welcoming, clean and comfortable. The bed was comfortable and even had a dual sided heated mattress pad which was very nice. The breakfast was delicious and perfectly filling for our day out exploring the area. Rhonda, our host, was very nice and we really enjoyed getting to chat with her in the mornings.

Lovely B&B in Perfect Location
We really enjoyed our stay in the Royal Orchid Suite. It’s a lovely B&B in a perfect location close to Volcano National Park. The fresh breakfast and Hawaiian music each morning was a nice treat. We really enjoyed chatting with the other guests and sharing our various adventures from the previous day. Our host, Sarah was very knowledgeable about the area and offered several helpful tips. Our room had everything we needed, mini fridge, microwave, fireplace, jacuzzi tub.

My wife and I stayed here while visiting Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park and it was our first experience at a B&B. The host made a wonderful breakfast and her place is a gem that is only minutes from HVNP. The host also gave us great recommendations for the area and the park as well.

We enjoyed staying at this beautiful B & B near volcanoes national park. The property manager was traveling but left the home in good hands with Rhonda answering our many questions and filling us in on local sights. Breakfast was hearty and kept us going all day.

This place was so much fun! We met friends from South Korea, the mom and the daughter in the family team, and some really nice nieghbors. We sent some friends their way, it was so lovely. We did have trouble understanding how to fill the tub with hot water but that was on us, we didn’t listen close enough.

A lovely bed and breakfast situated just outside of Volcanoes National Park!
My partner and I stayed at the lava pond lodge for 3 nights and had a comfortable, restful, and pleasant experience. The daily breakfasts in the kitchen were plentiful, delicious, and a great way to start our days. Our host, Sarah, had many great recommendations for our visit to the east side of the Big Island, and was great company every morning over breakfast. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be recommending it to friends and fellow travelers!

Absolutely delightful stay
Sarah is an amazing host! She made yummy breakfast and even let us have a burrito for our hike! We arrived to chocolate chip cookies! The property is lovely; like being in a tropical rainforest, surrounded by giant ferns, altherium, and serenaded by coquis at night. The property had everything you could need or want, especially an attentive and generous host. The bed was comfortable and the hot tub great. You can’t go wrong with Sarah!

A fabulous B&B in the heart of Volcano!
This place was fabulous! This place offers pretty much everything you could ever want in a B&B. My room was wonderful (the Royal Orchid room), the breakfast was wonderful, hostess was wonderful, loved the hot tub and the sound of frogs croaking at night. The fireplace was awesome. Close to restaurants, the Volcanoes National Park, and the Volcano Winery. You can also go to Hilo, about 40 minutes away. I highly recommend!

We had a lovely stay at the Lava Pond Lodge BNB. Rebecca did an amazing job getting us a delicious breakfast both mornings. The jacuzzi was very enjoyable, even in the rain. Would highly recommend, but suggest booking through them directly. It was very confusing booking through Expedia. It somehow was listed as VRBO for payment and I think the price would be better directly through Lava Pond Lodge!

Great home, great location!
This BnB is just a few minutes from the entry gate and visitor center for Volcanoes NP, so it's incredibly convenient for those visiting the park. Our first day in the park was wiped out by heavy rain and dense fog, and that's where this BnB really paid off for us. It it such a comfortable home: a large living room with plenty of comfortable seating; plenty of entertainment options: TV, DVDs, music player, CDs; and a large picture window looking out on a tropical backyard. Guest hostess Auntie Lila (sorry if I misspelled!) made breakfast a delightful and delicious experience. And on top of all that, our bedroom was clean and comfortable. We will be back someday!

We had a lovely visit with Sarah. The property is cozy, comfortable, and beautiful. The location is fantastic if you are planning to visit Volcanoes National Park, just a few minutes drive from the park entrance. Sarah was able to give us some great recommendations for the park, and for the surrounding area. Breakfast was delicious, and the Ka'u coffee is on another level. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
