Greg and Michael were lovely hosts. We arrived a little earlier than the check in time and Greg made sure we were checked in and settled, that's really great service. They were both friendly and on hand if we had any questions about the property or the local area.
Breakfast options were plenty. The quiche was absolutely delicious.
Hannah is an absolute gem, she shared knowledge about local hikes, restaurants and information about the area.

We loved our stay at Volcano Acres Ranch Bed and Breakfast! Theresa was an awesome host and very welcoming. She had upgraded our room for us for free when we arrived which was so nice. The room was spacious, warm, had everything we needed, clean and beautifully presented. The property is lovely and very relaxing. We had the option to help feed the animals too which was fun. There was a huge selection of breakfast options – all very tasty. Theresa was knowledgable about what activities were...

Not the most comfortable/ flash or best service but it is extremely good value.

Definitely, not your run of the mill resort hotel. But for our grown family of five, this was our favourite stay of our vacation. The accommodation is older but has loads of character. The provided breakfast (fruit, juice and quick bread) is a great start to the day or good for snacks throughout. The location is excellent and close to the National Park. Would definitely stay again!

Room was excellent as were the amenities. Access was easy and the cabin (Bamboo Cabin) was very quiet and extremely private. Bath Hpuse was very good as was the shared kitchen - clean, well equiped and round an enjoyable stay. Highly recommended for those wanting something off the beaten track.

It is an excellent place to stay. Very clean, helpful staff and great breakfasts.
Oh so close to Volcano National Park to fit in night viewings of the volcano.
Definitely would recommend.

We had to turn off the main road and up a winding narrow track to access our Big Island Retreat. Apprehension turned to pleasant surprise for the four of us when we arrived to our destination. We were greeted by our lovely host, Gigi who helped us with all aspects of our stay and even accompanied us to do some snorkelling at the adjacent beach. Our accomodation was the top floor of a large Hawaiian plantation villa. The central atrium with a palm, tropical plants and a bubbling fountain was...

Lovely little cottage, perfect for a family. Space and quiet. Located conveniently close to Hawaii Volcano National Park. Good amenities for cooking and loved the claw foot bath.
