    What a wonderful spot! This place was beautiful: the garden leads out to the ocean, making for a wonderful morning of sunrise and watching the waves roll in. Breakfast was gorgeous: local fruits, pie and the hosts' own cacao nibs. Our room was...

Ma'ukele Lodge is an owner occupied bed and breakfast that sits on the slopes of Kilauea, and is nestled in a rich mixture of tropical forest, black sand , lava, and ocean. The waves break turquoise on to a black sand beach that is not swimmable for most of the year. 2 1/2 miles up the coast is Kehena beach for great swimming. If you are seeking hotel environment with access to shops, resort restaurants, poolside bars and entertainment, this is not for you. My Inn offers great local breakfasts and a deep immersion into the culture and true lifestyle of the Hawaiian kingdom. Simply put, Hotel life is replicated all over the world , and does not impart the true nature of its location. The lodge is a cross between a bohemian and eclectic 60 year old beach house. The structure wears the ravages of lava flows and tropical hurricanes . I adorn my home in a way that the interior is very open, homey , and the direction of your gaze always is directed to the incredible views from the wrap around lanai. The Hawaiian Suite is a 518 square ft. room with 2 queen beds and a California king bed and an indoor half bathroom . The private garden holds an outdoor clawfoot tub and an outdoor shower. There is a nice sitting area with a variety of fragrant plants and fruit trees. The amenities include a fridge, microwave, hot water kettle, coffee press, a flat screen, and a large welcome fruit basket. The Lava Room is a 177 square ft. room with a partial ocean/lava view. It is on the second floor with a short hallway connecting the room to the communal living area and wrap around deck where breakfast is served. The room has a California king bed, a tiled bathroom with shower, and air conditioning . There is a flat screen, a small fridge, and a welcome fruit basket. My cats are not in the rooms. Remember that experience is an adventure beyond your comfort zone . If you want the known comforts of a resort for your vacation in paradise, this place very far from the beaten path.
