Reconnect with nature and find your aloha
Staying at the lava temple was truly a spiritual and unique experience. We fell asleep to the sounds of nature and woke up to a beautiful sun rise over the lava fields. Couldn’t recommend more for a get away!

We were looking for something simple and outdoorsy this fit the bill. We enjoyed listening to the wind and the birds and the frogs croaking. Unique views and convenient to a lot.

Fabulous space in an awe-striking area
The magical lava temple was beyond cool - the photos online do not do it justice! It was very well stocked and clean, and there are so many beautiful corners of spiritual activity inside of it. There are great books to read and plenty of mosquito nets to keep the bugs away. I will never forget waking up in the morning and watching the sunrise over the lava fields. Truly a magical space - I could’ve never left. Only complaint was that there was no bathroom sink, but there is a kitchen sink immediately outside the shower/toilet area so that’s alright. 1000/10 would rent again, and Jade is incredibly kind and helpful. Cheers!
