The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls Overview
The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls is an experience designed for the nature lover and the adventurer – complete with its access to a private waterfall on the vast 22 acre tropical property. What makes this inn stand out is how it offers incredible access to nature without ever leaving the property.
The rooms are situated in buildings built with traditional East Asian aesthetic in mind – such as The Residence or the Jade Cottage. There is also the Pagoda Guest house that features a private kitchenette while the Harmony House has the ultimate view of the waterfalls. The room rate includes a generously portioned breakfast, with locally-sourced fruits and eggs as well as the best Hawaiian coffee. Rooms feature a view of either the city, the falls or the river and the guests get to pick their view at the time of booking.
While most modern amenities are being offered, the rooms are not equipped with air conditioners out of consideration for the environment. The hotel is run on hydro-powered electricity that is generated from the waterfalls.
There are trails to explore, both within the property as well as beyond its boundaries. Hotel guests can also spend time in the bamboo gardens, or choose to swim or kayak at very base of the falls, and for the adventurous there is rappelling down the waterfalls. Other activities include biking and canoeing. Nature’s own soundtrack includes the symphony of tropical birds and coqui frogs. The hotel is only 22 miles from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. There is a gift shop located within the hotel’s premises for a quick souvenir shopping spree.
Wedding Services
The Inn is a beautiful location for a smaller wedding, and the private waterfall makes for some spectacular wedding photos.
