What an amazing experience it was staying out on the lava. Epic sunrise and sunset everyday, ocean view, starry nights like nowhere else, rainbows occur often and got to see my first ever "moonbow" under a full moon so bright you'd have to shade your eyes to keep from squinting!! The hale itself is well stocked, clean and cozy. Wifi and cell service was always available, Netflix and other services are available on the flatscreen provided and the kitchen and bathroom provided all the comforts of home. The lava hale is completely private but when encountering some of the neighbors in the hood, I was met with wonderful local aloha :))) Thx Alex and Sonja for always being available and for providing such a great epic experience with the Lava Hale. Unique, once in a lifetime, living experience!! Can't wait to return! Big Mahalo
Doesn’t even matter that lava isn’t flowing right now. I’ve never experienced such a complete sense of relaxation in just one night at this gem of a spot. Research the energy benefits of just one single lava rock then imagine that energy multiplied by 1000 because it’s surrounding you. Simply amazing! We had clouds so no night stars but we received the most amazing rainbow we’d ever seen!
We stayed here four nights and loved it: walking along the lava field, watching the stars, enjoying the view when having breakfast.
My wife and I spent our honeymoon on Hawai'i, and this was our second stop. The place certainly has it's flair, is very cozy and is a worthwhile experience, but for the price I wasn't expecting it to be this close to camping. In hindsight, a tent would have been more fun. We came during the rainy season, so the entire place was pretty damp, the bed sheets are the exact ones you see on the picture, which makes me wonder if and how often they get changed and the shower and toilet are on the patio (with no 4th wall). The kitchen was overall a bit messy and not very clean. The driveway to the cabin is approximately 1.5 miles on an unpaved, veeeerrrry bumpy road, and I am almost certain that no rental car company would allow you to use it. Just my two cents.
We enjoyed our time. The cabin was well stocked (minus water or I would given 5 stars). Just make sure to pick up a few gallons before you go out. The owners communicate well and provided a great experience! They made sure to do the little things to make your stay more enjoyable!!
This is a beautiful tiny home in the middle of a lava rock field. My boyfriend puppy and I all decided to stay our first night here to disconnect from the real world! With living on Maui and coming or a staycation this is exactly what we needed! Walked around the lava field at night and for sure recommend waking up early to watch the sun rise! Beautiful home would stay here again.
Great off-the-path place to decompress.
Amazing and magical location. The house is comfortable and very clean and well appointed. We were able to make a full day of doing nothing. We brought water, coffee, and food to cook for two days and nights. We didn't turn the TV on, but we did use the WiFi. The neighborhood was quiet day and night. We enjoyed being off-grid and we would certainly stay there again.
House was fine, but the area was secluded. Definitely for someone who wants to get away. Although the neighborhood is secluded, the location is good - close to beach, Hilo, and other attractions.
Very cool spot, in paradise!
