    Volcano is fantastic and lotus garden a good base to explore. The owner built a lot himself and the stay is in the middle of lots of green. The cottage is nice but overstuffed with furniture and things and therefore it is hard to move inside. I...

John, the Owner
Welcome to our most peaceful, serene and charming accommodations in the VOLCANO RAIN FOREST near the HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK with quaint, zen-like settings and luxurious decor.
Established the Lotus Garden Cottages in 2005. I like learning to play violin, and am a Zen meditation follower.
We are right in the Volcano Village, 3 miles from the entrance of the Volcanoes National Park, situated in a peaceful and heavenly UNESCO World Heritage Site in the midst of deep rain forest. We have nearby decent restaurants such as Thai Thai, Ohelo Cafe(Italian), Kilauea Lodge and Restaurant(American/German). There are many hiking courses as well as great viewing of active lava pool.
