Tropical retreat adjacent to Volcanoes National Park.
This property is a gem. Our kid loved sleeping on the lanai/sunroom. The suite was spacious, beds were comfortable. The whole space was very clean, and had everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious. The proximity to the National park was ideal. We stayed in the Punawai Hale. We loved it.
The accommodations were terrific, a great value in superb location for visiting Volcanoes National Park and Hilo area. Spacious, comfortable beds. Host was very accommodating by offering to deliver to-go breakfasts as we had an early morning flight. I recommend the Lanikai Brewing Co for dinner if you stay here- the best food we ate in Hawaii for adults and kids- also great beer and excellent cocktail lists with low-key come as you are feel (i.e. sweatpants).
Great B&B! Owner had prompt communication and provided several helpful tips. Loved having an our own private Hale which was outfitted with all the essentials including comfortable King bed. Kitchenette had mini-fridge with freezer. toaster-oven & microwave, coffee & tea in the room plus custom ordered breakfast (egg sandwich, omelette, or waffles) that came with a delicious papaya fruit bowl delivered to the room. We enjoyed being on the edge of town. So quiet!! And, only 10mins to Volcanos Nat Park which was excellent location when the eruption started at 2am!! This is a mini-ranch with many adorable animals( ducks, chickens, goats, sheep, donkey etc) You can even arrange to feed them. If you’re not an animal lover, be aware, but we really enjoyed the rural setting and watching all the critters while eating breakfast. We even had a goat kid on the hood of our car one morning. So cute! There’s a large manual gate to maneuver as you drive in & out and also a stone/dirt driveway which could be challenging for anyone with walking instability. We loved everything about our stay at Volcano Acres Ranch!
I had a really great experience at this B&B on a beautiful ranch, the host was incredibly accommodating, even with my last minute booking. She was out of town and made sure everything was ready upon our arrival and that we had everything we needed. She went above and beyond. She even shared with me where she purchased some of the beautiful decorations, which I really appreciated. The place was clean, stylish and comfortable... I would definitely stay here again!
Unique farmhouse property with a lovely sunporch overlooking the pond and farm. Surrounded by friendly goats and assorted geese, ducks, chickens, roosters, farm cats and a pig nicknamed “Vlad the Destroyer”. Great freshly-made breakfasts, too.
Theresa is an amazing host at an incredible property. It was great to interact with the animals. She helped us understand how to see the volcano eruption and even went out of her way to wake up other guests to be sure they didn't miss it. She has thought of everything including "junk" towels to clean up shoes after hiking. The breakfasts were delicious, and the papaya boats were excellent. The location near the volcano is convenient too. Excellent. Planning my return trip already
We really enjoyed our stay! Plenty of room for our family, and even our often sulky teenager had big smiles every time he interacted with any of the animals on the property! Thank you to the host!
Understanding this is a working farm we did not expect it to be 5 star. However, when we opened the door it was very musty and smelled like no one had been in there for quite some time. The bedding felt like it was not entirely clean either plus the 2nd night found what appeared to be mice droppings in our daughter's bed. Also the rooster started saying good morning at 1am, then 3am and 5am. The breakfast was basically ordered from a to go place and was below average in our opinion. From the description we thought it was home made with fresh juice, etc....very far from that. Overall, this may be good for some people but we would not stay here again. Also, never met the host which is odd at a B&B.
Great Bed and Breakfast
A nice, clean property with a great location! The beds were very comfortable, and we liked having breakfast brought to our room. The papaya bowls were especially great! The host's suggestions about the surroundings area was spot on.
Absolutely amazing experience. Loved the animals and the environment.
The property was ideally located to explore the National Volcano Park area of Hawaii.
Adequate
We stayed in the converted barn bungalow for three nights in March and have to say that Jo N’s review from the same month resonates with us. It was off-putting to be greeted by roosters and their poop surrounding the entrance to our bungalow. The interior was very nicely decorated and comfortable, but a thorough cleaning of the sunroom and behind the furniture is in order. (We had to move the dresser out to plug in a medical device and the area was extremely dusty.) There was almost no interaction with the host and the breakfast was underwhelming, except for the large papaya halves filled to the brim with fresh fruit. Nice also to have good coffee and a coffee maker. [If you want fantastic take-away for lunch or dinner and like Thai food, do not miss Auntie Pon’s Thai Food Truck (see Yelp). Outstanding food and awesome service!] On the plus side, the ranch is very close to Volcanos National Park and our host was kind enough to text us about the latest eruption and encourage us to get to the park early since she knew it would be crowded. That was very nice especially since the eruptions were relatively frequent but hard to predict during the couple of days we were in the area.
My 7 and 8 year old kids loved this place so much. They named all of the animals and got to run around and have a blast playing with them. The place is very convenient to get to the park and the breakfast was delicious. Our 2 room accommodations worked great for our family of 4. My kids keep asking when we can go back.
It’s Doable
Once we dodged all the poop, and entered the cottage, we were pleasantly surprised. That being said, the entire unit could use a deep cleaning. The windows are very dirty and full of spiderwebs. Maybe that’s intentional as the view is dismal
Wonderful B&B near Volcanoes N.P.
Super comfortable and well appointed room in a delightful setting near Volcanoes National Park. The barn yard animals roaming the grounds were delightful!
Lovely BnB, great location and host.
We loved the stay, really family friendly and and great location near the volcanoes national park. We loved the animals, especially the chickens roosting up the tree. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
Cozy, family friendly stay near Volcanoes NP
I’ve stayed at Volcano Acres Ranch on three separate occasions (friends trip, couples trip and family trip) and each visit has been wonderful. Theresa ensures we have everything we need to be comfortable. Breakfasts with egg sandwich, waffles or omelet with a papaya bowl are delicious. Chickens, ducks, goats, pig and donkey out back are so fun especially for kids! And staying 10 mins outside Volcanoes NP was a huge plus for checking out Kīlauea at night and beating the crowds in the morning. Thank you for another great stay.
Fabulous breakfast, comfortable accommodations, lovely animals. Great spot
This was such a unique and pleasurable stay! Super comfortable room, beautiful view, and lots of friendly animals around the property. I loved all the kitties that came out to greet us! The breakfast was delicious, I was a huge fan of the fresh papaya boats. I would definitely recommend staying here, especially if you’re an early riser and want easy access to Volcano National Park.
Fun, relaxing and great hospitality!!!! Would absolutely come again!
We had an amazing time here at the Volcano Ranch. Teresa was amazing and more than accommodating. She did everything to make sure we had a pleasant stay. My kids loved all the animals. It was so fun to wake up to them and watch them play with each other outside. I would recommend this highly to anyone staying over by the volcanos with a family.
