Immerse yourself in the big island rainforest in your very own tree house! This Eco-friendly Tree House in Volcano Hawai’i is a tranquil oasis hidden in the heart of nature.

The Space:
On arrival at the turn off from the main road it’s best to drive slowly down the tropical path, as it’s a bit rocky. You’ve entered a whole new world in this lush jungle!
The unique design of the tree house is rustic, totally off-grid, and handcrafted in bamboo, rattan and wood. You’ll discover lots of special touches – tropical flowers, candles, fairy lights down the jungle path, pot plants, colorful furniture and cushions and Buddha statues.
Time to Relax:
As you enter the tree house you’ll see the outdoor relaxation zones (called Lanai in Hawai’i). Downstairs is the zen space with a lovely big Teak Balinese Daybed and chairs. On a teak bistro sits the coffee machine so you can enjoy local Kona coffee. You’ll also find the drinking water here.
The upstairs zen space on a deck has cushioned wicker chairs so you can gaze out through the trees. The atmosphere is totally still with only the sounds of birds, frogs and insects.
How many beds?
The tree house has one bedroom and accommodates two guests comfortably. The upstairs bed is cleverly raised up on a platform so you can marvel at the stars and the jungle through the huge cathedral windows. The comfy mattress is Temper-Pedic for blissful sleeps. Linens and towels are provided.
We were falling asleep to the sound of frogs and waking up rejuvenated with a peaceful mind.

Is there Hot Running Water?
Yes! The shower room mimics the outdoors with bamboo walls, hanging plants, a rainwater shower heated by solar and propane gas along with cruelty-free shampoo, conditioner and soap. In the bathroom you’ll find the washbasin made from koa wood, a flushing toilet, and vanity.
Preparing Food:
Dishes and utensils are provided but bring some food with you, e.g. picnic food – snacks, breakfast, bread, and salad. There’s a cooler in the downstairs lanai to keep your food safe from any insects.
