During winter months, this cottage, at about 3720-foot/1134-meter elevation, gets cool, sometimes below 45ºF/7.2ºC, so, guests can enjoy the infrared heater. In winter months, visitors to our island need to bring warm jackets, as well as bathing suits.
Residents of Volcano Village actively participate in keeping exterior lighting low so the only street lights in the village are at the highway, where Wright Road and Haunani Road begin and go up through the village. Consequently, the roads are dark at night.
The State of Hawai'i has two taxes which affect visitors to the islands: Transient Accommodations Tax and General Excise Tax. The taxes collected by the host from guests for lodgings stays total 14.96%, during 2020.
