So nice to soak in hot tub after hiking and comfortable bed for a good night’s sleep. Hosts were gracious and had maps, advice for exploring Volcano NP (about 5-10 min drive.)
Such a lovely place to stay! Rhonda was a delightful hostess, breakfasts were yummy and filling, and it's always interesting to meet other travelers at a B & B. Best of all, this is only about 5 minutes from the national park, which is VERY convenient when Kilauea erupts in the middle of the night!The location is secluded and quiet, letting you go to sleep to the sound of the coqui frogs. We truly enjoyed our stay here.
We loved our two nights at the B and B - the location felt private, but was very close to the park. Breakfasts were delicious and communication with the host was super easy.
Awesome space to visit! Room had everything necessary to enjoy our weekend stay. Having breakfast and all the coffee we could drink was a plus to start our day. No to mention long convo’s with our lovely host Sarah. Trips to the farmers markets, restaurants and the National Park were a short drive away.

Our host, Sarah, was really terrific with such a warm personality and was the highlight of our stay. We left a souvenir bookmark behind and Sarah was so accommodating and mailed it to us. Our Wild Ginger suite was very comfortable and met out expectations and the included morning breakfasts were wonderful. We would stay here again.
Great location from which to explore volcano national park
Beautiful property in a great location near volcano park. Owner requests no shoes in the house so recommend you bring house slippers because the weather can be pretty cold for bare feet on wood and tile floors. Sarah had great insights for local sights and always served lovely breakfasts with local fresh fruit. Only possible negative was difficulty with hot water cutting out. I told Sarah about this and she was going to have the water heater looked at.
This B and B, nicely managed with personal touches, was luxuriously comfortable. We enjoyed meeting other guests at our cozy breakfasts warmed by a wood fireplace. Highly recommended for couples like us or for singles and welcoming of diversity.

About the host
Hosted by Sarah Ochoa
We purchased the Lava Pond Lodge in early January 2021 and we are extremely excited for what this endeavor has instore for us. We are leaving the property for the most part unchanged and only making minor updates here and there. Why change a good thing if it is working, right?
During these uncertain times we are very COVID minded and echo the messaging on the Big Island. We are going to great lengths to keep our 'ohana safe and are Covid Compliant. As our guests you are a part of our ohana (family) and we want you to be comfortable and safe when you visit us.
Our goal is to continue to build onto the great reputation that the Lava Pond Lodge is known and adored for. Warm and friendly hosts, breath taking surrounds and convenient location to nearby sites. We are also looking at becoming closer with community and culture as we establish and grow our ohana on the Big Island. We support local businesses and will always give back where we can when we can.
Why they chose this property
Having visited the Big Island and the Lava Pond Lodge Bed & Breakfast in Volcano on our honeymoon we fell in love with Hawai'i and the property and community.
Lava Pond Lodge Bed & Breakfast is located in the storybook village of Volcano Hawai'i, a community of artists, writers and scientists. We are secluded in the forest yet just 5 minutes from the entrance of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park with its spectacular hiking trails, scenic vistas and lava viewing. Volcano is 27 miles from the Hilo airport and 96 miles from Kailua- Kona.
What makes this property unique
While the biggest attraction to the area is certainly Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park there are also many other reasons to visit this area of the big island. The rainforest makes this a very unique area. Visit the Volcano Art Center Gallery and catch a live hula performance. Witness the magic of authentic native Hawaiian dance and storytelling. Choose a class from their schedule of creative arts workshops, writing, Hawaiian culture & nature workshops for all ages.
We suggest wine tasting at the Volcano Winery, a trip to Rainbow Falls, a 80” tall waterfall, exploring the Kaumana Caves, enjoy the amazing views of the ocean and valley from Waipi'o lookout or hiking on Mauna Kea. One of our favorite weekend activities is seeing the Sea Turtles at Punalu'u Black Sand Beach which is a 38 minute drive from the lodge. Hilo also offers helicopter rides to view the beauty of the Island from above. I highly recommend the once-in-a-lifetime open door helicopter adventure.
