Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in Hilo just 30 minutes' drive from the Volcano National Park and Mauna Kea, Shaka Shak Guest House is a 1950s plantation-style guest house features rooms with mountain views. Hilo Airport is 4 km away.

Lovely owner, very friendly. Nice settong slighlty outside Hilo but within easy distance of the town center. I would recommend hiring a car for getting about as seems to be no public transport. Hilo is apparently the wettest place the US so be prepared. Shaka Skak is a lovely place to stay but it needs some updating.
