Haunani House felt like home. The thought and care that was put into the house are evident in all its details. Aside from its comforts, its location is just minutes from Volcano National Park's entrance. There are multiple small and delicious eateries within walking distance. Also not to be missed in Volcano Village are several art galleries featuring local artists whose art captures the local essence elegantly and often whimsically. Haunani House incorporates artwork from some of these local artists, elevating the cheerfulness and spirit of the home. I particularly love the pieces by Margaret Barnaby and the small quilt hanging in the back bedroom. I also loved the wood-carved ceiling light detail, the comfy booties left thoughtfully by the front door and the flashlights strategically placed around the house, charged up and ready to go for when you walk at night to one of the local cafes or decide to hang out with Pele under the stars ...perhaps even waiting to catch the sunrise with her. The garden around the house is a sanctuary. As much as we enjoyed spending time outside as often as we could do so -- hiking, swimming, exploring -- we always looked forward to getting home at night to the most comfortable beds (and equally comfy linens!). I look forward to making Haunani House home again.
