Whether you’re looking for a cozy basic room, a one-bedroom suite, or a 6 bedroom house, we have the perfect accommodation for you.
At Arnott’s Lodge in Hilo, Hawaii, we have taken the best ideas we have seen in our travels and put them here for you.
Over time, we have evolved the Lodge into a facility that offers almost everything the budget traveler could desire. You may bring your own tent and pitch it on our beautiful camping lawn, or you can enjoy our Simple Studio with garden views.
Between these extremes are our semi-private rooms and one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites for families and groups. For Doug Arnott, owner/developer of the Lodge and Tour business, this is his home and his hobby. Profits are reinvested in this unique business to improve guest facilities and grounds. It’s a location unlike that of any other Big Island accommodations or in Hawaii.
Our natural tropical environment, walking distance to great beaches, and free Wi-Fi make staying at our lodge and enjoying our location and other parts of Hilo a breeze.

Best tour for Mona Kea - Andres was the best guide ever! He was flexible with our family needs and got to know us personally. Take the offer of the jackets and bring hats... read more and gloves!! We made stops along the way to the top that Andres showed us all the key sights and helped us acclimate to the elevation. He had so much interesting information about the environment, local culture, and the observatories that he shared. He made sure we had plenty of time at the top and had a great stargazing session after. Highly recommend!
Once in a lifetime experience - Amazing experience. The top of Mauna Kea feels like you’re on Mars and the night sky is dazzling. Our guide Donna was awesome (get her to take your picture —... read more the woman should have been a photographer!). A must-do if you’re on the Big Island.
