Volcano Teapot Cottage

This was our second stay at the Volcano Teapot Cottage and though it had been four years since we had last visited I couldn’t be any more impressed with our stay. Bill and Antoinette are the perfect hosts, from providing an impeccable atmosphere, to fresh fruit, baked goods, and breakfast goodies, they excel! The grounds give you the feeling that you’re in the middle of your own personal rain forest. I really can’t say enough about our stays at the cottage other than I can’t wait for our next visit!

If you are visiting the Volcano National Park, the Volcano Teapot Cottage is a perfect place to stay. It is so close to the park making it easy to get into the park early before the crowds get there. After spending a day hiking, the cottage was a refreshing retreat with cozy fire, clawfoot tub, tasty treats, and very comfortable beds. The grounds are magical. I loved waking up everyday to the songs of the Apapane right in the backyard. Be sure to get up early to hike the Kilauea Iki trail. It is so beautiful on the way down to the crater early in the morning.

This is a perfect Historic “English” Cottage, with oh so many modern amenities. It is tastefully decorated and furnished with loving care by the hosts/ owners Bill and Antionette. They provide everything you need for a healthy breakfast and midafternoon teatime. Fresh pastries and breads, organic fresh fruit, eggs, breakfast sausages, yogurt, and the like. Every day is a new tasty surprise! They also provide many choices of tea and local grown coffees. The home is comfortable and surrounded by a beautiful peacefully secluded property. It is located just a short drive from Volcano National Park, and also close to Black Sand and Green Sand Beaches. Bill is a great resource to many of the best attractions and restaurants in the area!! Don’t miss out on this”couples” property! We have stayed in many historic Inns, Boutique Hotels, B and B’s and Guesthouses in USA and Europe and we found Teapot Cottage to be the best!

We felt this was one of the best BnB's we have ever visited. The cottage was very pretty, spacious and very comfortable. Very close to the national park too. It is the type of bnb that provides you with all the breakfast items and then you choose and make breakfast on your own. This was great--so much choice and great daily baked goods. Great experience. We would highly recommend the Cottage.

What a fabulous cottage. Quirky and quaint. Lives up to its name - tea being it’s theme. Bill and Antionette have worked hard to provide an extremely homely and comfortable place. Bill brings fresh cakes every day (you’ll look forward to coming back from your treks) and the fridge is well stocked. Close to Volcano national park, means you can get the full experience, without miles if travelling. We wished we could have stayed longer, and we would 100% recommend this vacation rental on Big Island Hawaii.

Without exaggeration, the best BNB that I have stayed in. The cottage itself was incredible. BEAUTIFUL. Romantic and Cozy. The features you normally don’t find- Gas fireplace heater, towel warmers, stain glass, claw foot tub and large shower. The artwork and decorations throughout were unique and paid tribute to this area. The kitchen was awesome- loved the orange fridge. And so many unexpected luxuries throughout- like the fresh orchids in a wall vase in the bathroom. If it should rain, still things to do if you don’t want to leave the house- board games, craft supplies and an assortment of books and magazines. Great WIFI, TV connected to several streaming services. Did I mention that in the kitchen was fresh sweet local fruit and granola? Milk, juice, eggs, sausage, yogurt, papaya in the refrigerator? Fresh local bakery items(delicious!) well over a dozen types of tea,many coffee choices. Well stocked kitchen (but who wants to cook with everything that is here) Outside there are multiple porches to relax on and enjoy the outdoors. Several outside seating areas with your own private 2 acre plus(?) tropical forest. Bill and Antoinette provide printed information on what to see and do, and Bill even stopped by to provide us additional information when I requested. Impressive local knowledge. If unprepared, the cottage has umbrellas, flashlight and binoculars better to see the caldera at night. (This home had everything!) Located minutes from Volcano national park. After a full day there, loved coming home, relaxing and falling asleep in the comfortable beds. Only downside- I didn’t stay long enough. Second half of my stay on Hawaii was on the Kona side in a resort, which PALED in comparison to the paradise I left ☹ I haven’t covered half of what this cottage offered, and hope to return many times. THANK YOU BILL AND ANTOINETTE!!! Pat and Temo

Stop Searching and book this cottage if you plan to stay on Hilo side of the bid island. Perfect combination of private home with the amenities of a BandB, but with no other guests! The level of details of creature comforts is unmatched in vacation rentals, the cottage is perfect for a couple or two. Location to Volcano Nation Park is a five minute drive. Do stay here, it will be a highlight of your Hawaii trip

The Volcano Teapot Cottage is a perfect cottage to enjoy a relaxing stay in the volcano area. Bill and Antionette are so generous with sharing their precious cottage with all the details and amenities anyone could ask for in a B and B. We had so much fun tasting all of the different teas, walking their beautiful property and the country roads surrounding the cottage. Every morning they brought fresh pastries. The refrigerator was stocked with yogurts, fruits, eggs, sausages and more. Bottled water, juice and milk are also provided. The best B and B host and hostess ever! Mahalo Bill and Antionette!
