1 Bedroom Cottage in Kealakekua Bay

The Tiki Hut is furnished in a very elegant and eclectic "old Hawaiiana" tropical style with vintage rattan and Art Deco antique furniture and is filled with Hawaiian artwork and collectibles from our own collection. 
 
This cottage features flagstone flooring, koa wood (indigenous to Hawaii) cabinetry and a cathedral ceiling with a large skylight. Less than ten steps away is its own private gazebo outfitted with dining table and chairs. Five steps away in another direction is the beautiful koi (fish) pond, with waterfall, fountain and spectacular water lilies.  
 
The Tiki Hut is surrounded by flagstone patios, manicured lawns, tropical flowers, exotic and dramatic landscaping and a couple of six foot tikis guarding your entrance! The views from the back and side are garden…and from the front is a partial ocean/coastline and sunset view.  
 
At night, if you're lucky, you'll be serenaded by a chorus of frogs and, always, the beautiful sounds of the constant waterfall. The sounds of abundant birdlife complete this perfect setting!

As well as the spectacular Kilauea Crater, there is a superb visitor center, The Thomas A Jagger Museum, Thurston Lava Tube, Sulphur Banks, Volcano House Hotel and Restaurant, Art Galleries and more.

Naalehu is a quaint town that straddles the highway, with several good restaurants for breakfast or lunch on your way. Punalu'u Black Sand Beach is a short side trip off the main highway, and very picturesque.

• Travel Info: Our location is the perfect home base for exploring the island, and so is the temperature! At an elevation of 1200 feet you'll experience spectacular ocean views and an average year-round daytime temperature of 75 degrees F. You won’t swelter at the shore or be subjected to the constant drone and chill of air conditioner, yet the beach is just 15 minutes away. The occupancy for each cottage is two people maximum and there is a five night minimum stay per cottage. We specialize in offering couples a glimpse of the "real and non-touristy" Hawaii rarely seen by most travelers to this remarkable island…If all this, plus privacy, serenity, nature, beauty and ambience matter to you, then you will love staying here at Bwana Bob’s Hawaiian Vacation Cottages.
