VOLCANO ~ HAWAII
Welcome to the Garuda Guesthouse!
Nestled in the rich Volcano rainforest, Garuda Guesthouse is a single, special unit for those who want the beauty of a lushly-landscaped environment, enhanced by water ponds with koi and goldfish; abundant anthurium, lush ferns, flowers of yellow, blue, white, and all shades of pink; the song of birds in the morning and the sight of magical stars at night….and most of all: total, sublime privacy.
Our 475-square-foot cottage offers a fully-equipped kitchen, dining area, living room and bedroom space. There is cable TV and music as well. A slate lanai makes outdoor lounging an elegant event; the lanai posts are made from the ohia trees that were felled in order to build the cottage.
Your house is warmed by a thermostatically controlled propane fireplace; it is cooled by Nature. A large slate bathroom has a double shower with sky-lite and huge window looking into the forest. Wood floors throughout the cottage are ohia, Volcano's most familiar tree; when in bloom, it brings us a bright red flower called the lehua blossom.
Smoking Allowed Outside Only.

Deep rainforest monastery feeling in profoundly peaceful, private setting, cozy and comfortable inside, amazing attention to beauty and detail throughout. Love the huge slate shower w/a view. Every time I'm there I come away feeling healed and happier. Awesome hosts.

I have enjoyed the wonderful setting and amenities of this lovely cottage several times now. This time I brought work(!) Even when it rained, I imagined absorbing its life-giving properties like the hapu ferns outside. I ended up breaking through on a difficult part of my research. Thank you once again for sharing this little corner of paradise!!!

Our recent stay exceeded out expectations in every way. The guesthouse is beautiful inside and out. The service was impeccable. The location is fantastic. In our travels, we can't say the physical spaces we've spent nights were highlights of a trip, but this house defintely was - a joy to come home to after a day of exploring. All in all, an "11".

The guest house is beautifully crafted in every detail. Great selection of music and books. The kitchen is fully accessorized and we had continental style breakfast items in room upon arrival. The surroundings are tropical rainforest, very private and peaceful. Everything was very clean. We will return.
