The Kamaka Cottage is in a great location, close to the National Park so when the volcano goes off you are right there. Host were great wasn’t communicate with. Cottage was clean and cozy. The best part was the doors that opened up into the forest. You could smell the fragrance of the forest , hear the birds singing and the rain coming down. We will definitely return in the future.

Loved!

I loved staying in this little cottage! The main house is close by but that didn’t detract from the peacefulness. It’s decorated super cutely, the bed was comfy and has everything you need for a stay close to the national park. Opening the big doors next to the bed makes you feel like you’re in the middle of the rainforest - surrounded by vegetation with birds chirping.

Quaint Rainforest Getaway

We really enjoyed our short stay at Kamaka Cottage in Volcano. The location was perfect for exploring Volcanoes National Park. The cottage is nicely appointed with a lot of sunny windows and great access to the outdoors via the barn doors that open into the rain forest. It has everything you need for a private and secluded stay.

Great for visiting Volcano National Park

The property was clean and cute and a great location for visiting Volcano National Park. It is fairly well appointed, but it does not have a TV. Be advised that it is not secluded and is immediately adjacent to another, larger rental house and that parking is out the front door. Another thing to be mindful is that the unit must be heated/cooled by you. There is no thermostat, and temperatures fluctuate from 80 to 50, meaning you have to open windows/fans or turn on a space heater. Our first night we got very cold as we didn’t realize that there was no insulation and it would get so cold inside the cabin. Although the owner did warn us of packing properly for the weather changes, there are no instructions inside for heating/cooling the unit. This would have been helpful and this why I’m giving 4 stars. The second night was warmer as we figured out using the space heater and the other renters were much quieter. In addition we had the good fortune of seeing Kilauea erupt!

Exactly as advertised

This property was exactly as advertised and exactly what we expected and needed. It was clean, well stocked, and close to the Volcano National park. The hosts were excellent communicators, reaching out to ensure we knew about weather alerts during our stay and letting us know they were available if any questions or issues arose (none did). Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Great value

This location is about as luxurious as economy gets. It is simple, but exceptionally comfortable, clean and well equipped. Yet it was so much less expensive than almost anywhere else. It was a score.
