About this property
Lava Rock Retreat - Impeccable Comfort in Hilo!
Pair the mystique of a tropical Hawaiian forest with an impeccably cared for home and you'll have Lava Rock Retreat! Catered to the traveler who wants a private oasis but desires the convenience of a central location. Lava Rock Retreat is in a quiet Hilo neighborhood with close driving access to visit dashing waterfalls, sea turtle dotted ocean parks, vibrant botanical gardens, and volcanic wonders. The architecture is reminiscent of mid-century modern design highlighting natural surroundings. We welcome you to enjoy Lava Rock Retreat, Hawaii!
As you enter Lava Rock Retreat you're greeted by walls of picture windows with verdant views of our tropical forest. The main living area boasts a soaring ceiling, cool concrete floors, and hi-tech smart home functions. Delight in three modes of coffee making from pedestrian (12-cup drip maker) to aficionado (espresso and Nespresso Vertuo makers). The kitchen is fully stocked for cooks of all levels and includes touch-sensor faucets, and every small appliance you may desire. Dine at the copper fronted bar or the dining table. The living area has a large screen Smart TV and sectional sofa (you may want to spend more time here than you imagine!). The whole house is geared with free high speed Wi-Fi internet and Alexa Smart home features.
The home sleeps up to 4 guests and is recommended for adults and older children only. Our outside areas are built around the natural pahoehoe flow of ancient lava with uneven, rocky grounds.

As if this isn't enough pampering, wrap yourself in provided bathrobes after every shower, bath, and walk to the hot tub.
Outdoors you'll marvel at our lush tropical flora as you stroll through paths behind the house. The large hot tub and copper outdoor shower area also feature a lava rock privacy wall. We have created multiple outdoor seating and lounging areas which may cause you to miss planned excursions as you entirely relax in nature at your home away from home.
