The space
Parties or events are not permitted
The Retreat:
The main house has an open floor plan with very high ceilings and 4 bedrooms. The kitchen, living room, lanais and screened room are oversized. There are two master bedrooms upstairs each with access to the upper lanai offering a view of the meadow and ocean. There is a princess bathroom with separate shower and claw foot tub with skylight. The spiral staircase leads downstairs to the main floor with two more bedrooms, one with a queen and the other with either two twins or a king. The large kitchen, living room and screed room are perfect for family meals and gathering.
The Four Cottages: (2 studios and 2 two bedroom cottages)
Studios
Blue Ginger and Green Bamboo each have a full kitchen with all the amenities, a full bathroom and a cozy queen size bed. Both studios have lanais overlooking the meadow and ocean.
2 Room Cottages
The Purple Passionflower cottage has a king size bed in the master bedroom and two twins in the second bedroom.
The Rainbow Cottage has a Queen bed in the master bedroom and the livingroom has a couch that can sleep one small person. Both cottages have kitchenettes(range, oven, mini-fridge and freezer, microwave) and lanais overlooking the meadow and ocean.
The estate is perfect for families or groups where privacy and togetherness have the perfect balance. The retreat is peaceful, quiet and has no light pollution at night for unbelievable skies. Our nighttime temperatures are perfect for restful sleep. Close to all the attractions in Puna.
Lava Flow Info: Our property is safe. Fissure 8 is/was about 3 miles away and 240 vertical feet downhill.
Steam vents have established on the lower property, over 500 feet from the houses, and temperatures have stabilized at about 150 F. Steam varies from barely visible to over 100 ft tall when it rains. Please do not touch the steam as it is hot and could hurt you. The steam is tested by USGS weekly and there are no harmful gasses present.
Guest access
There is a gate to access our property and you will receive the gate code when you make your reservation. We value your privacy and don’t require interaction for check in or checkout unless you want to say hello or have questions. The property is very safe, private and quiet.
Guests can use the pool, soaking tubs, BBQ's and 1.2 mile rainforest trail around the 20 acre property. Guests are also invited to eat fruit from the orchard including lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, banana, soursop, guava, passion fruit and avocado. You will have the entire property so no other guests will be there. The estate has excellent wireless internet, yoga room and several lanais. Large lawn areas are great for outdoor events.
Other things to note
The 20 acre retreat is within the Puna Forest Reserve and our grounds are surrounded by rainforest that is part of the retreat. Hawaiian Natives own the non-private property within the reserve to protect the Native Ohia forest that is sacred to them. The reserve was acquired by the Trust for Public Lands and transferred to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. The reserve is habitat for the Endangered Hawaiian Owl, Hawk, and Bat. While these species are otherwise very rare they are often seen at the retreat.
The Ohia forest has giant ferns, diverse species of orchids, epiphytic plants, strawberry guava, passion fruit, geckos, praying mantis and songbirds. The rainforest is very dense and so we ask guests to remain on the grounds and trails for their safety unless we discuss the specific hazards. The retreat property surrounding the grounds feature many skylights into lava tubes as well as lava trees and caves. The Puna Rainforest is invigorating to see, taste, hear and feel.
This property has a no-pet policy. Trained service animals are welcome and are not subject to a pet fee. Please note that service animals must be housebroken and under your control at all times. You are liable for any damages caused by the service animal.

Neighborhood highlights
We live in a very safe, rural area and have a property gate. Hilo is only 24 miles away, Volcanoes National Park 40 miles and the Mauna Kea Observatory is 50 miles. Kona is 100 miles and takes about 2 hours. Puna Rainforest Estate is special because you can stay in a private place with natural settings away from the busy neighborhoods and resorts but are still close enough to enjoy the attractions.
