The design of Ohana House is really special-- so many thoughtful details that make a cozy, compact abode feel like a perfect fit for two couples and one infant. The two bedrooms are separated by the bathroom-- we didn't hear any noise from the other bedrooms, which was great since one of us had a baby :). The separate kitchen was the perfect size to have two people cook in and two other people relax on the small couch. But our favorite space was the connecting outdoor deck, with hammock and dining table-- we loved gathering here in the mornings for coffee, and in the evenings for cocktails and dinner. The warm breeze and gorgeous sunsets made for perfect happy hour hangouts.
While there is no viewable active lava on the big island currently (since the summer 2018 eruptions), so we could not see any active lava from the house, it was very cool to stay in a house that was built on the old lava beds, with a great view of Kileaua-- both stark and beautiful. With the lack of active lava, it meant that the Kalapana area was particularly quiet and peaceful, very few other tourists.
Highly recommend this as a unique, beautiful, peaceful place to stay!
