♥ A NOTE FROM YOUR HOSTS
If you're seeking an off-grid, off-the-beaten-path, and unique experience, Hakuma House is the perfect choice. Embrace the healing energy, otherworldliness, and tranquility of Kalapana. We look forward to making you feel at home and will be available as a resource throughout your entire stay.
PS - Considerate Owner lives on site, in a separate house behind the Hakuma House and the Ohana.
Guest Access: Prior to your arrival, you’ll receive a unique access code for a seamless and secure self-check-in experience. You'll have full access to the entire home, including all indoor and outdoor spaces. Parking space for 2 vehicles is available at the front of the house.
The Hakuma House is situated on the Kalapana lava beds near the base of the Kilauea Volcano. The neighborhood itself is eclectic and a mix of rustic, off-the-grid creative homes and people who value elemental living close to nature. Besides being the sunniest, driest part of the island, you are surrounded by sweeping views of the volcano, the ocean, and black lava fields as far as the eye can see. Yet it’s very close to festive farmers markets, black sandy beaches, and gorgeous coastal drives. Enjoy this elemental vortex unlike any other! ALOHA!
Getting Around: Due to the remote and private nature of the neighborhood, it's not ideal for walking around, and residents value their privacy. We recommend having a car to fully experience all that Kalapana and the surrounding areas have to offer.
Interaction With Guests: Considerate caretakers live nearby. If you have any questions or need assistance during your stay, please reach out, and we'll be available to help.
Other things to note:
Off-Grid Living: As we are off-grid and solar-powered, we ask guests to be conservative with power after dark. Please avoid leaving lights on all night and use the washing machine during daylight hours.
Nature Presence: You may encounter harmless geckos during your stay. They are considered good omens and add to the unique experience.
Privacy Respect: Our neighborhood values privacy and is not ideal for walking around. Please respect the tranquility of the area.
Unique Experience: If you're seeking a touristy, resort/hotel experience, this may not be the right fit. Hakuma House offers an elemental, off-the-beaten-path, and unique stay.
