Secluded and Quiet

This property is in a very quiet part of Hawaii. It is secluded from any neighbors or road noise. Owner is very nice. You MUST eat at the restaurant on the property, it is phenomenal. The cottage had thoughtful touches. Again, the town of Volcano is very quiet.

Heavenly Gardens

The gardens are so peaceful! The pics of the cottage don’t show how small it is but the gardens are so worth it. It should be noted that you can’t walk around to the far side of the bed. The bathroom is lovely and the cafe on site was great! There was lots to do in the area and there is a coin washer/dryer a couple blocks away if you need it. Great stay!

Romantic get-away

This is a small beautiful cottage on a beautiful piece of property with many gardens with a Japanese theme. The windows are so clean you would think there is no glass. Very close to Volcanoe National Park which was a primary reason we booked. Old Volcanoe road is an artist community with many galleries showcasing local artist such as Ira ono.

Great Location and Special Property!

This property had the best location as it was about 1 mile from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The cottage was located mid way back and on the side of the property. Ira was in his workshop when we arrived and greeted us personally. We could walk the entire property including the small nature garden in the back which was truly a special place. We also received a discount at the Gallery and Restaurant. Thank you for the great stay!

Lovely garden cottage

We enjoyed 2 relaxing nights at Ira’s beautiful property. He was there in his studio when we arrived and was happy to show us to the cozy cottage. We had everything that we needed and enjoyed our own hot tub for a soak after a long day of travel. The location is perfect for a stay in Volcano, minutes from VNP and many restaurants nearby. We missed out on Cafe Ono, that is located on the property, as they were closed the days we were there. The garden is amazing and a great place to begin or end your day. Mahalo Ira!

Paradise! With bunnies and a gift shop.

As advertised and more! It was a shame we didn't have time to thoroughly explore their beautiful grounds and giftshop. I told my wife about the highly rated vegetation cafe and she said, "well I'm not a vegetarian.". Then she tried the tiny fresh baked loaf of sweet bread they kindly left in the fridge(perfect after volcano viewing snack), Then when I asked "How about now?". She replied "I think I might be a vegetarian!". Delicious! Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

The property was clean and well-stocked with coffee, tea, and breakfast goodies. The beautiful spa bath is a surprising contrast to the rustic style of the rest of the cottage. There were several welcoming touches, including beautiful tropical flowers. The cottage is small, and though it would probably be fine for one person or a couple who travels light, we found it a bit small for two older people. We had to put our big suitcases back in the car, taking out the things we needed first. Also, the bed is against the wall, and the person on the inside couldn’t get out of bed without disturbing the other person. On the whole, the location and thoughtful touches make this a nice property, but it may be better suited to a single guest or a couple who travels with small bags and that doesn’t have to get up multiple times in the night.

Outstanding Rainforest Cottage

This cottage is like a dream come true! It’s so lush and beautiful! It’s well equipped with more than just the necessities. We didn’t have a chance to visit the cafe, but the host provided sweet bread, yogurt, coffee, and milk/juice in the fridge. The heater was necessary since we visited during the rainy season. The host took great care to reduce humidity and the impact of being in a rainforest as much as possible. The shower is to die for!
