Guest Access: Prior to your arrival, you’ll receive a unique access code for a seamless and secure self-check-in experience. You'll have full access to the entire home, including all indoor and outdoor spaces. Parking space for 2 vehicles is available at the front of the house.
The Neighborhood: Our home is located in Kalapana, where wind, sky, new earth, and the Pacific Ocean converge. The neighborhood is quiet and private, ideal for those seeking solitude and a connection with nature. While it's best to use a car for getting around, you'll find unique attractions like black sand beaches and volcanic landscapes just a short drive away.
Getting Around: Due to the remote and private nature of the neighborhood, it's not ideal for walking around, and residents value their privacy. We recommend having a car to fully experience all that Kalapana and the surrounding areas have to offer.
Interaction With Guests: Considerate caretakers live nearby. If you have any questions or need assistance during your stay, please reach out, and we'll be available to help.
Other things to note:
Off-Grid Living: As we are off-grid and solar-powered, we ask guests to be conservative with power after dark. Please avoid leaving lights on all night and use the washing machine during daylight hours.
Nature Presence: You may encounter harmless geckos during your stay. They are considered good omens and add to the unique experience.
Privacy Respect: Our neighborhood values privacy and is not ideal for walking around. Please respect the tranquility of the area.
Unique Experience: If you're seeking a touristy, resort/hotel experience, this may not be the right fit. Hakuma House offers an elemental, off-the-beaten-path, and unique stay.
~ OPTIONAL ACTIVITY ~
