The Bamboo room is an exceptionally clean, inviting, and usable room for those wanting to stay near the Volcano parks. We used the space for a race and to get a weekend away within a larger vacation to Hawaii and staying here was definitely a highlight of the entire trip. Here's what I think people should know about the Bamboo room and Joan's accommodations in general:
- You will have a very comfortable pair of bed, clean and bright rooms with a bathroom that shines. The few animal noises are a welcomed comforting sound if you are one who enjoys nature. You'll also get a nice view of the farm from the window but can easily close shades/windows to get a more secluded feel.
- The breakfast/food options are amazing. A lot of them sources from the farm itself which was a nice perk. She also has a selection of farm foods for sell outside the house which we wish we could have purchased but we were limiting our spending for other activities.
- There are a few rules for water/energy conservation which should be normal practice for most eco-conscious individuals already but should be respected given the wonderful land and property you are staying on. Specially, conserving water wherever possible as it is collected rainwater.
-There is ample parking right at the door, check-in and check-out are easy, there is little road noise, Joan is quite an expert on the area and was gracious with her knowledge of the parks and how to get around.
