NAHELE: The O'Reilly Forest Chalet
Nahele is a private vacation rental nestled in the lush Hawaiian rainforest of Volcano. The chalet is very peaceful, with its own beautiful vista of Ohia trees and Hapu'u tree ferns, orchids, anthuriums, white ginger and birds of paradise. No road traffic. Perfect for a romantic adventure or a relaxing getaway.
You won't have to give up all the benefits of civilization during your stay! Nahele has all first-class modern amenities. A fully stocked kitchen, outdoor hot tub, HDTV entertainment center, high-speed internet access, and a private wi-fi wireless hotspot ensure that you will only be as cut off from civilization as you choose to be. Your cell phone will work here! (But you may want to leave it turned off anyway.)
Nahele is also currently the only property in Volcano to have a computerized "Volcano Trip Planner". Just turn on the central computer - the trip planner will come up automatically and show you the current hour-by-hour weather report for the Volcano area, the current eruption status, and a checklist of things to bring, things to remember, and the best times and places to hike to the lava. No other vacation rental will help you explore Kilauea like this!
For stays or two nights or more we will be happy to provide you with some complimentary breakfast fixings (our gift to you). Breakfast fixings may include coffee, tea, hot chocolate, pancake mix, syrup, bread/bagels, butter/jam, juice, fresh fruit. There are always fresh tropical flowers in the house for your enjoyment. Aloha, and enjoy your stay!
