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.

Cute spot tucked away in Hilo - Great hospitality here, super friendly and accommodating at check-in. If you’re camping, the grass is soft for tents and amenities are luxurious. There’s a nice beach real close within walking... read more distance but will probably need a car to get anywhere else in town.

Stargazing Tour - This review is for the Mauna Kea Summit tour. Our guide Andras was helpful and knowledgeable. This company does go all the way up to the summit. Keep in mind... read more not all companies do. Also a plus they use a laser pointer instead of manual telescopes. This is way faster as the whole group gets to see much more than it would if you each took a turn. Bring food if going during spring or summer since you probably will get back to hotel after the kitchen closes.

Amazing view over the clouds! - This trip was incredible! Our guide was amazing - she gave us so many great tips about the area, really knew the history of the region and was just a... read more phenomenal trip leader. She was an excellent driver too and we felt super safe with her. The views were out of this world. We were nervous because the road was initially closed when we left for the trip, but they opened back up very quickly after we got to the visitor center. I would highly recommend this trip for everyone! It’s phenomenal!
