Waiola Guesthouse is off the beaten track on the Island of Hawai`i. If you’re looking for a truly unique Hawaiian experience away from the hustle and noise of tourist destination spots, Waiola Guesthouse & Zen Garden is for you. Waiola Guesthouse is located on a 10 acre sustainable farm, and the nature surrounding us is the source of our water and energy. The electric system powered by the sun provides all the standard amenities. Soft rain water is triple filtered and UV sterilized. The Guesthouse includes a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, queen sized bed, and satellite TV with HBO. Waiola comfortably sleeps 2, and accommodation can be made for a child on a fold out futon. Waiola is perfect for a tranquil retreat, a romantic getaway or a staycation. Evenings and mornings can be cool with occasional showers so you will appreciate a light jacket or sweater. World renown Papakolea Green Sands Beach, Volcanoes National Park, historic Ka Lae (South Point) and Punalu`u Black Sand Beach are all nearby. Golfing is available at both Punalu`u (Sea Mountain) and Volcano. We live on the property and are always available to our guests. Interaction is at your request. Quiet, off the beaten track Hawaii is what Waiola Guesthouse offers. There is a farmers' market in Naalehu on Wed. and Sat., and in Volcano on Sun. People are friendly, Ka`u coffee is the best, and you've never seen so many stars in the night sky! The county-run Hele-On bus can take you around the island very inexpensively ($2.00), but the bus runs through Ka`u only a couple of times a day. Check the schedule at heleonbus.org. We highly recommend renting a car. Check in is at 3PM, check out at 11AM. Please let us know if you want an earlier or later time and we will do our best to accommodate.
