We stayed for two nights at Kahi Malu and one of our biggest regrets from our trip to Hawaii is that we didn't get to stay here longer! The rooms exceeded our expectations and Kathryn was a fantastic host. She is passionate about the island and we loved learning from her about the geography, geology, animals, plants, history, and language.... More

A big thankyou to Kathryn who has provided us with a home away from home in the rainforest. In the bungalow there is everything you will need . My husband and I spent 7 days here to thoroughly explore Volcano National Park. We couldn't have choosen a better place to stay, it is 5 minutes from the gates of the... More

My family and I stayed at Kate's Cottage for two nights during a week-long trip to the Big Island in early April and absolutely loved it. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer. The cottage is tucked away in a very quiet, private location surrounded by lush rainforest. Inside, there is everything that you could possibly want or... More

My husband and I spent 4 nights at Kates Cottage and have nothing but positives to say. It was clean, comfortable, quiet and private. The kitchen was stocked with all kinds of breakfast cereal, a choice of coffees, and basic cooking supplies if you chose to cook there.

We enjoyed breakfast on the back... More

We stayed here for 3 days as part of our whole 7 day trip on the Big Island. From my initial contact w/ Kathryn, she was great to deal with.

My husband and I stayed in Kate's Volcano Cottage for 3 nights as part of our honeymoon. We loved the inn and were so glad we stayed there! It is more remote than I had anticipated, but this simply added to the peace and relaxation we experienced. KVC had all of the amenities we needed--it was extremely helpful to have... More

We stayed in Kate's Volcano Cottage and were very pleased. The Cottage is large and includes a small kitchen which allowed us to fix a simple meal from items purchased in Hilo. It is nestled in the rain forest but we didn't get much chance to enjoy the outside since it was raining during most of our visit. I guess... More
