Beautiful home with hot tub in native rainforest

Hale 'Apapane is a large, well decorated home located near the heart of Volcano Village and 1 mile from Volcano National Park. It has 2.5 baths, 3 bedrooms, 4 beds, a large living area, and a 4 person hot tub. We have a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, hot tub, back deck with a gas grill, and a covered basketball court. The house is set in the native forest with giant Hapu‘u ferns, ‘o‘hia trees, and native birds all around.

My wife and I moved here in 2006 with our kids, designed and built this house with other family. We lived here for the next few years, worked on the landscaping, and decorated it with local art and photography. The house has its own solar energy and filtered, drinkable catchment water.

The house has a open floor plan downstairs and lots of windows to look out on the rainforest. It is a good layout for large groups or families as it facilitates connection, but also has private feeling bedrooms upstairs that have some separation from each other. The master bedroom has its own bathroom, and there is another full bathroom upstairs for the other two bedrooms. We have a laundry room with a washer and dryer, a smart TV with high speed wifi.

The covered basketball court is a big hit with families with kids, as it does rain in Volcano often. We have some board games and toys as well. The back deck is set looking out on the rainforest and lush landscape and the hot tub is a great place to unwind after a day of activity at Volcanoes National Park or somewhere else.

We are a 5 minute drive to Volcanoes National Park and a 2 minute drive to Volcano Village. Volcano is a cute little town with a few restaurants, general stores, a community center, playground, and a nice farmers market on Sundays.

Volcano is at 3500 feet in a high elevation tropical rainforest, so it is never too hot. It can be chilly and damp depending on the weather, so it is nice to have the mini split heater and wood stove.

The house is located very close to volcano national park which is what we wanted. The house was nice and perfect size for our family of 5. It felt like we were in a treehouse in the rainforest and my kids loved it. They also loved the covered basketball hoop and the box of chocolate macadamia nuts from the host. Overall, this was a great experience for our family!

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at this property. We wanted to travel to the Big Island to see Volcanos National Park, and this property is perfectly located less than 2 miles from the park entrance. The home is set back on a secluded lot, so serene and private. Loved it there.

We rented this and the adjacent sister home for our group of 14 family. The place was elegant, clean, comfortable and everyone loved the jungle hot tub. And the coquis were a delightful serenade at night. It’s a 5 minute drive to the park.

Beautiful three bedroom home (all bedrooms upstairs). Nice grounds and a very welcome hot tub after long hikes in the Park or surrounding areas. Kitchen is well organized. Go to one of the food trucks for dinner and you should have enough food left over for several meals.

It rained every day we were there, but we were still able to use the hot tub and stayed warm and cozy with the heater. Lots of space to spread out with the teenagers and grandparents. Loved being tucked into the fern forest, seeing orchids, lemons and bananas growing in the yard.
