Hobbit House B&B is located near Volcanoes National Park, and beaches of green, white and black sand, one mile off the beaten highway which requires the rental of a 4x4, available at both Hilo and Kona airports. Electricity is produced by wind and solar energy. Most of the hot water comes from solar heat. Hobbit House rates are exceptionally reasonable. Checks and money orders are accepted; no credit cards or smoking, please. Breakfast is served each morning.

Some Hobbits live in "hobbit-holes", which were the original places where they dwelt underground. They were found in hillsides, downs, and banks. By the late Third Age, they were replaced by brick and wood houses... some older style Hobbit-holes are still in use by more established Shirefolk, such as Bag End and Great Smials. Like all Hobbit architecture, they are notable for their round doors and windows, a feature more practical to tunnel-dwelling that the Hobbits retained in their later structures.

Hobbit House is truly a one of a kind lodging and a standing work of art. Created as a wonderfully refreshing retreat for travelers seeking an off the beaten path adventure. It's located high on the hillside above Waiohinu Village on the south side of The Big Island of Hawaii. Rental of a 4x4, the vehicle for the Big Island, is required and adds to the adventure of this remote location where peace and quiet abound.

Hobbit Boutique Hotel Information: Hobbit House was built in 1921 by the City Council for sub-economical housing. The Then City Clerk of Bloemfontein brought the original floor plan back from Holland to South Africa. Twenty-two of these houses were built in President Steyn Avenue. The original house consisted only of two bedrooms, one bathroom, a lounge, pantry and kitchen. Just after World War Two, the houses were sold to private owners.
