You’re so close to Volcano National Park—it’s only about 5 minutes away! The park is open 24 hours, and it’s magical if you get to see the lava at night.
Tiamaria’s place has most everything you’ll need. Soap, shampoo, coffee maker, water cooler, heater, and a kitchen. We recommend stopping at a grocery store in Hilo as the options are a little limited. There’s a delicious Thai restaurant in the village, though, so you don’t really have to cook.
Our favorite spot on the property was the lanai. It overlooks a gorgeous yard with trees. You can hear nature around you, and the mornings are very peaceful.
The outside shower has plenty of hot water—and is definitely worth trying! It can get chilly at Volcano and having a hot shower is a great way to warm up.
The internet was fast, and there’s a nice table that can fold down for a work area. We spent most of our days sightseeing, though. And when we got back…the comfortable beds allowed us to get much needed rest. Can confirm that the beds are extra soft!
