Hale Apapane is a lovely, well-appointed retreat in the Hawaiian rainforest. The location is unbeatable, just outside charming Volcano Village, and a mile from Volcanoes National Park. The house is spacious, beautifully furnished, and the bed I had was amazingly comfortable.
We loved the covered lanai out back, allowing us to be outside & enjoy the rainforest even when it was raining. The hot tub is a marvelous asset; it’s hard to beat looking up thru tree fern fronds at the stars of Hawaiian skies.
We had a little trouble finding the house initially using GPS & later found out it is unreliable in the area. Guests should plan on using their fire-building skills as the house is chilly on entry, but warms up nicely when the woodstove gets hot.
An extraordinary lodging for those who wish to enjoy the tranquility & beauty of Hawaii’s rainforest.
