Glamping is Here! (Almost)
Let the glamping begin! We are super excited that we can finally see a completion date for our new glamping site Kahua Ho’omoana. We have opened reservations to start booking as of June 1st. Our off-grid glamping site is in the back 3 acres where our goats and donkey spend their days grazing away. We have erected a fence around the glamping site to ensure the animals cannot get into the tent or camp kitchen. We provide a wagon to take luggage and personal belongings to the glamping site along the lit gravel pathway but do recommend packing light if possible.
Sitting on top of a 20’ x 22’ deck, the 16 ft. diameter bell tent is made of a durable natural cotton fiber suited for all weather use during all 4 seasons. It is waterproof and windproof up to 30 MPH winds. The tent is outfitted with a queen size bed with a memory foam & gel mattress, luxurious linens, and fluffy pillows. It features a café table with chairs, a writing desk which doubles as a charging station for phones and tablets and even has a hot spot for WIFI. Guests should keep in mind there is no electricity, so all chargers provided are either solar or battery operated. If you use the solar chargers, they must be “recharged” during the day in the sun. A free-standing clothes rack has plenty of additional space for hanging your personal items as well as holding fluffy robes and slippers. Luxurious layers of rugs and a wood burning stove keep you warm on the chilliest of nights. Battery operated fans, windows and the door have screens to let in the cool breeze if needed while keeping flying critters out. At night the tent and surrounding camp site is illuminated with a series of solar and battery-operated lights and lanterns to help navigate the area.
The private bath is on a covered separate deck within the
glamping site and runs off propane and a solar charged generator to provide hot
showers. This a
two-room en suite deck designed just for this particular purpose. On one side is the shower space with a toiletries organizer. Stepping through to the other side is the toilet
and a separate dry changing room, with a window and a towel ladder. The toilet is battery operated,
odorless and chemical free with a patented bagging system that works with the
push of a button. We do provide biodegradable and eco-friendly soap, shampoo,
conditioner and lotion.
The camp kitchen shares the same deck as the bath tent but
has a privacy wall separating them with a barn door to provide pass through
access. Everything you need to make a
gourmet camping meal is provided except the food! A Camp Chef outdoor oven will provide you with the heat necessary to cook anything
from a breakfast skillet to your favorite baked breads or even cookies. The
oven can reach temperatures up to 400° F and will easily fit a 9 x 13 pan. The
two-burner stove top will ensure you can make a semi homemade semi gourmet
meal! We also provide a propane
grill, or you can make food the old-fashioned way with a cooking grate over
coals in the outdoor firepit. A sink with hot running water makes cleanup a
snap. Pots, pans, cooking utensils, a
French Press for coffee, tea kettle, dishes, silverware, cups and more plus potable
water for cooking, a 5-day cooler to keep things cold and a charming place to
eat outside with the stars is all included.
Breakfast is also included and can be delivered in the morning between 8
and 9 am. You can choose to have it put
in your cooler the night before and you can reheat at your leisure in one of
the afore mentioned ways. What is not included is ice and food for your other
meals. There are a few general stores in
town with limited supplies or you can purchase food/ice in Hilo or Kona to
bring with you.
A firepit with chairs and small side table provides the
perfect place to unwind after a long day hiking and exploring and hopefully
catch a glimpse of the milky way. You
can purchase a crate of wood from us or buy some from the general stores in
Volcano.
At this time we are accepting a maximum of two guests for the glamping tent with a minimum two night stay. There is parking for only (1) vehicle for the campsite. If you have more than two people or desire a one-night stay, please check out our other available rooms at the B&B, one of which should be able to accommodate your needs.
