Aloha Junction B&B

  • Inn Details

    ALOHA! and Welcome to possibly the world's most active (and safest) volcano in the world. We are all about helping you make the most out of your trip to the Volcanoes National Park. You can save time and money by lodging here ~ Hilo is 28 miles away and Kona is about 100. Just look for our big, oval sign hanging to the right side of the Volcano Post Office. As you enter the property, you will begin to realize you made the right choice. This exclusive area in the village feels relaxing and inviting and still has a touch of old Hawaii hanging in the air. The house was built in the old plantation style with spacious rooms and ample places to roam around ~ inside and out. Tall Tsugi cedars, native trees, plants and giant ferns encompass the 1-1/3 acres. It is fenced and gated for your privacy and security. Everything about it says: "Come and enjoy!" PS: If you are looking for a modern, VACATION RENTAL house nearby, we can also help you! We charge $175/night/dbl + $20/additional guest. Sleeps 2-8 comfortably. Pleae call us at 1-888-967-7286 for availability.

    Signature Dish

    Papaya Boat
    You can always expect fresh fruit and juice with your breakfast. But the papaya boat-- is by far, the best; filled with bananas and lathered in fresh lemon juice. Mmmmm-mm. It's Ono-licious!! Then for the main entree, we serve a pretty hearty meal consisting of either eggs/potatoes, French toast, or pancakes. Along with the scrambled eggs, we serve sausage, English muffins, and either rice or potatoes. Of course, hot oatmeal, granola, or cold cereal are always availble upon request too.

    AJB&B met my expectations. Not inexpensive, but consistent with other accommodations on the island. Only critique, and it is minor, is that I'd prefer a more politically neutral (or at lease balanced) selection of books on the shelves in the room - made us feel a wee bit uncomfortable. But, we felt welcome there, and I do recommend it.

    From the first night when Robert and his ever-present friendly three dogs arrived to greet us at the security gate until they all saw us off after a wonderful five day stay at Ahola Junction, Robert was always there to help us with dining and sightseeing suggestions and helpful tips. His breakfasts were an unexpected gift, always surprising us with neat local treats and great pancakes! The ambiance of Aloha Junction was welcoming and there were lots of neat artifacts and books about the area. Robert has been living in Volcano for many years and is a trove of local history. We look forward to returning again and using Aloha Junction as our base for exploring VNP and all its wonders.

    The room was nice, but more like a mountain cabin (at least the wood-paneled Pele room was cabinish) than you'd expect in Hawaii. The breakfast was pretty good.

    Large, beautiful property minutes away from Volcano and an easy drive back into Hilo town. Clean, quiet, and the perfect getaway with pets - large yard and completely fenced property (although you can't see the fence...another plus). Breakfasts were healthy and delicious.

    Christmas away from home was so comfortable at this Bed and Breakfast. Our host Robert was there at our every whim, even on Christmas day. Breakfast was amazing, including the most AMAZING Macadamia Nut Syrup for our berry and nut pancakes. Delicious sausages and fresh papaya! The room was cozy and gorgeous wood architecture. It gets chilly up in the volcanoes, but have no fear...electric blankets and a propane fieplace heater. All the amenities you could think of any home having. A few good places to eat in the village, and sooo close to the Volcanoes Park. Comfortable, cozy, accommodating. If I go back to the Big Island or have friends going, there is ONLY ONE PLACE TO STAY. Thanks so much Robert and Happy 2012!
