Kapoho Village Inn is located in the former village of Kapoho. This village
was mostly destroyed by the 1960 eruption. Legend says Pele, Hawaiian goddess of fire, came to each Kapoho residence
prior to the 1960 eruption asking for shelter and food. Those who provided for her were told not to worry with her departure.
Others weren't spared. Luckily, the original owners were generous residents. Kapoho Village Inn sits across from what was the sugar cane railroad stop from the early 1900's. Our inn originally was a boarding house for the sugar cane workers who rode the train. It is a unique and magical location where you step back in time to old Hawaii. You can relax on the large front verandah, where you can view Green Mountain, a large older cinder cone cloaked in lush vegetation while you enjoy a refreshing tropical drink. Walk amongst our numerous tropical fruit trees and exotic foliage in the garden. For a change of scenery enjoy the lanai looking upon the 1960 cinder cone which dips down into a crater stretching for miles in a park like forest setting. Locals say the 1960 cinder cone fountained directly behind the inn.

minutes from Kapoho's fabulous snorkling, Alahunui hot pond, and Pohoiki surfing. You can also stay at our nearby sister
property as you travel back in time to the eclectic village of Pahoa where fine eateries await you and colorful
people greet you with much aloha. Just check out our new Pahoa Townhouse page!
