There are some truly exceptional Airbnb properties out there, and this is certainly one of them. The Japanese aesthetic in the middle of the jungle, eight minutes away from the entrance to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is just an incredible combination.
The soaker tub was divine. The outdoor hot tub was magical. The bed was one of the most comfortable we have ever experienced. The kitchen had everything we needed, which was really appreciated because we cooked all of our meals on the property since there isn’t much in Volcano Village. Being so close to the park was incredible because we could hike all day, come back, have dinner, rest and then go back out to the park to view the lava at night. Then we came home and sat in the hot tub. SO GOOD!!
One comment though, and obviously this has nothing to do with the amazing Tea House: the coqui frogs are really loud at night; light sleepers will definitely struggle with them. If you keep all of the windows closed, which you will want to do at night anyway because it’s very cold, you will still hear them. We are moderately light sleepers and we got used to them, but it is something to consider.
We had an absolutely magical stay and cannot wait to return!!!
