Kilauea Lodge is set in a wooded volcano
village only one mile from Volcanoes National Park on the Big
Island of Hawaii.
Lodging accommodations at Kilauea Lodge
include rooms and cottages, each with the comfort of a private
bath. Four rooms with Volcano art and flowers, colorful
comforters, and fireplaces are featured in Hale Maluna,
the remodeled original building. The newest building, Hale
Aloha, is equipped with central heating and a spacious
common room with fireplace and library. Guests also have their
choice of the Honeymoon Deluxe Room, with wood-burning
fireplace, balcony, double showers, and a romantic four-poster
king-sized bed; an intimate one-room cottage with gas
fireplace; Tutu's Place, a two-bedroom cottage
featuring a kitchen, gas fireplace, porch, and large garden;
or Pi'i Mauna Cottage, a two-bedroom cottage located
at the Volcano Golf Course and featuring a kitchen, porch, hot
tub, and gas fireplace.
In the morning, a complimentary full
breakfast is served to guests in the main lodge dining room.
Lodge guests cap their volcano day with dinner at "A
superb restaurant only a stone's throw from your pillow...
"(Condé Nast, November 1990) Hardwood
floors, koa tables, fresh flowers, original art, and, at the
center of it all, the historic Fireplace of Friendship with
its precious collection of artifacts provide the setting for
fabulous dinners served nightly. Owner-chef Albert offers a
menu which reflects a marriage of his European background and
local flavors. The menu is a cornucopia of fish, fowl, and
beef entrees served by a helpful dining room staff. A
thoughtful wine list and homemade desserts complete the
gustatory experience.
The Lodge also serves as an excellent base
for exploring Big Island. Hilo, famed for its tropical
lushness, quaint storefronts, and cascading waterfalls, is
only 35 minutes away. Black sand beaches and clear lagoons
grace Hilo's Keaukaha shoreline. You may tour a tropical
rainforest, visit anthurium and macadamia nut farms, or steep
yourself in Hawaiian history at Lyman Museum. |
Built in 1938 for the YMCA, Hale o Aloha
was a gracious ten-acre retreat. Thousands of youngsters
experienced Kilauea's wonders by day and, warmed by the lodge
fireplace, told Pele myths by night. Bought by Lorna and
Albert Jeyte in 1986, the lodge buildings were refurbished to
welcome visitors from all over the world. The guest rooms
reflect up-country charm with a commitment to warmth and
peacefulness.
Kilauea Lodge is located only minutes away
from the spectacular Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. A full
day's activities, including hiking, bird watching, picnicking,
and volcano viewing lie ahead. At the Information Center, you
can view volcano films and learn more about the majesty of
nature. The Jagger Museum also provides explanations of
volcanic behavior. The Volcano Art Center offers locally
crafted gifts and artwork for your perusal and enjoyment.
The staff at Kilauea Lodge looks forward to
helping you plan your Volcano adventure! |
