Kula, HI · 6 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
The property is located on Maui island in the Kula district on the drier side of Haleakala. In days before western contact the area was heavily forested with native plants and trees and rainfall was abundant. The native Hawaiian grew bananas, taro and sweet potato. After Western contact businessmen mostly from the United States developed huge tracts of land for ranching and farming which cleared the native forests and destroyed the eco system from the mountain to the sea. Many of the Hawaiian people moved away nearer to the towns and immigrant Chinese laborers from the ranches and plantations moved in. The Chinese brought in the Wattle tree to plant for firewood as these trees grew very fast. These are the majority of the trees that you see today. As part of the Chinese immigration, the founder of modern China, Sun Yat Sen lived here for a time and planned his revolution to overthrow the last Chinese Dynasty. There is a park dedicated to him nearby.We have picnic tables a propane grill, a fire pit and a covered gazebo that is shared with 3 cabins This site is located at the 2800 ft altitude and the temperature at night can range from mid 50 to mid 60 degrees F. If you are planning to go to Haleakala, we are about 45 -60 minutes to the summit. We are also on the south side approach to Hana. There is a great restaurant for breakfast and lunch about 10 minutes away in Keokea town called Grandma's Coffee house.

Welcome to Our Glamping Property 🌴
Welcome to our family-run glamping property! Located on 0.6 acres with 8 units, our property offers a shared, peaceful outdoor environment where guests can slow down, disconnect, and enjoy the beauty of Hawaiʻi.
The property is completely off-grid, and as a small family-run operation, we do our best to continually maintain, improve, and update the property for our guests.
Our simple “summer camp” style tiny cabin is designed to create a distraction-free space to reconnect with nature and make lasting memories. The cabin is cozy and intentionally simple, giving you a comfortable place to rest after a day of exploring the island.
One of the highlights of the property is the incredible stargazing. On clear nights, step outside, look up, and enjoy the stars away from the distractions of everyday life.
And when you're ready for some beach time, the beach is just a half-mile away!
Because the property is shared with other guests, you'll also have the opportunity to swap stories around the fire, meet fellow travelers from around the world, and enjoy the feeling of being part of a little community in the wild.
🐈 Meet Patches: One of the unexpected highlights of staying here is Patches, our friendly resident cat who has made the property her home. She loves meeting guests and may stop by to say hello—or even invite herself into your cabin! Many of our guests love her visits. If you'd rather keep her outside, simply keep your door closed or gently shoo her back out.
Come slow down, unplug, and enjoy a different side of Hawaiʻi.

Enjoy the country life in Kau on the Big Island and the lovely red Lehua flowers blooming. We live on 19 acres on Road to the Sea, which has a remote green sand beach at the end of the road (4 miles down from us). We call our slice of paradise, Honua Laa (a sacred place). Straight down to the coast is a beautiful black and green sand beach and a huge tide pool. Rent a four-wheel-drive to get there, and we recommend a 4WD to get to our place, since a recent storm washed our road out. Waiting on FEMA. Go slow, the road is rough and bumpy in places..
Off the grid. Rustic, but fun. If you are a Eco tourist or seeking adventure, you will love our spot!
The silence is golden and the stars are amazing.
Don't expect a hotel...this is upcountry glamorous camping.
It's one-of-a-kind! Most of the parcels are 20 acre parcels around… But a few smaller parcels across the road. We have nice neighbors who keep an eye on things.
The nearest grocery store is about 3 miles away. The Hele-On Bus is just 1.2 miles up the road. If you want to drive to the green sand beach at the end of our road, rent a 4 wheel drive. If you are athletic, you can walk, but it is 4 miles down and 4 miles back. I recommend going early in the morning and take water.
Hot water shower is propane. Bring ice for your ice chest. Bring drinking water. There is a gas grill and propane single burner. Bathroom has manual flush toilet.
This is off the grid solar and there can be days without sun, or other glitches. You can charge your phone and have a lamp in your cabin. WE HAVE WIFI. Good cell coverage.
The panoramic ocean view is spectacular! Very peaceful and relaxing!
Our glamping cabins are in the front 2 acres. The back 17 acres is an old Ohia forest with 500 year old trees and lots of birds. You might even see a wild goat or a wild pig or the mouflon sheep. Our property backs up to the Manuka Forest Reserve.

As a full-time host and tour guide, I take pride is giving people the best experiences possible while on island! Our properties are cozy and provide everything you will need being your home away from home while on vacation!
Learn more about this land:
The ultimate local experience while providing comforts to make your stay enjoyable. Live in traditional Hawaiian style homes!
For guests unfamiliar with the Big Island, it is not like the other islands people travel to. If Oahu is more Americanized, the Big Island is still more of a Polynesian Island. Our property allows guests to enjoy a genuine local experience.
The cabins have power and endless hot water. All water on property is rainwater harvested from our roof!
At night your ears will be greeted by the forest with sounds of coqui frogs. Many people love them 🐸 Please search for Bathing Suits and Rain Boots on YouTube to find a video of what our property sounds like at night. Our channel also features videos of tours we offer. More to be uploaded, check back often! Our tours include off the beaten path adventures ranging from sunrises and geothermal Kings baths, to prawn hunting to hikes that lead to waterfalls! They are all local gems that you will not find online or offered by any other tour guide agency. We are updating our ig @bathingsuitsandrainboots regularly with footage from adventures as well!
Beach gear such as surf boards, boogie boards and snorkel gear is also available. There is a detailed welcome packet with a variety of mostly free but some paid must see/do activities on the island!
There are a total of 4 cabins on the one acre lot. The owners are on property, other guests may or may not be here as well. There is a dog Valentine, two outdoor cats named Ghost and Tomi, and chickens/ducks.
Each cabin has a queen mattress. We rent both cabins out for larger groups.
Jungle massages are available on site starting at $100 for the hour.
Please note the main image capturing a lava cliff sunrise is not visible from the cabin. It is about a 30-40 minute drive from us 🌊 ☀️ 🌋
We are at 1880ft elevation so it can get chilly at night. Winters are also rainy season so if traveling to the Big Island in the winter, I suggest some light layers for warmth, a raincoat and rain boots.

Super cute, cozy, and comfortable. Communication with host was great. Secluded and beautiful flora. We arrived during Nolo and spent our time in the Bee Bungalow, sitting on the covered porch, sipping coffee, listening to the rain and nature sounds as most everything was closed due to the storm. It was a great place to hibernate waiting for the storm to pass. I little slice of heaven.

It’s Magical and Healing to sleep in the rainforest and the hosts are truly wonderful people, offering aloha the island way. Always giving the space I needed yet conscious of what may make me comfortable.
A rainforest has dirt to grow its magnificence of lilicoi, banana and much more that may be offered in season. Yumm..
Dirt turns to mud, though definitely doable if you love the outdoors. I LOVED my time there.
Mosquitoes live there too, usually, only out late afternoon & early morning. A nice cedar repellent works amazing and it’s non-toxic.
I stayed for almost 3 weeks, swimming at Waimea early morning back to the camp to write in the afternoon then an evening swim at 3 Tables and my own little Kirtan in the evening.
The polyjohn toilet was the cleanest I’ve ever seen, never stinky. Hot outdoor shower too.
Loved my time there, with rainbows every day.🌈💞🌺

Weekend Trip to Rainforest Gradens
This stay was unlike any other campsite I’ve booked this summer. My favorite part of the experience was the rain. It rained every day I was here, and the view from the cabin was refreshingly peaceful and spectacular.
One of the most unique features of the cabin is the open roof cover, where lilikoi vines grow up and through the structure out front, producing passion fruit and creating a beautiful green canopy. Red hibiscus flowers are scattered throughout the property, along with mango and banana trees. The open landscape also provides beautiful views of the sunrise and sunset.
The outdoor shower is nearby and has warm water from a solar water heater. The cabin feels private enough to keep the doors open at night and enjoy the fresh air. The property is gated, and you can park your vehicle conveniently near the unit.
Because of the frequent rain, the property can get muddy. I’d recommend bringing rain boots, hiking boots, or Crocs, or simply going barefoot if you enjoy connecting your feet to the earth.
The location is also a great spot for exploring the North Shore and is near Puʻu O Mahuka Heiau State Historic Site. Whether you’re interested in visiting nearby cultural and historic sites or simply enjoying the scenery of the North Shore.
I don’t meet the hosts at every location I stay at, so I especially appreciated the hospitality here. I was given fresh passion fruit and strawberry guava, a small red fruit commonly found around Oʻahu and often used to make jam.

We stayed in 3 places on the island and this was by far our favorite. There was plenty of space, it was clean and lovely, well stocked kitchen, and the setting was beautiful including the swimming hole with waterfall! (which sadly we didn't get to go in as we were out so much)...as others have said, I would have liked to have stayed there longer and just enjoyed the property. Everything about it was easy and convenient. They even had a TV and DVD collection- though we were mostly offline for our week in Hawaii, it was perfect to watch a silly. movie on one of the nights. Would definitely go back, thank you Hamakua Guest House (Rover View Family House)!

7 nights at Farm to Table Hawaii
This could not have been a more perfect stay for my time on Big Island. Justine was so kind, thoughtful, and attentive to the reason for my trip to Hawaii. I was there to integrate the loss of my two pups, and with a grieving heart I felt so incredibly loved and taken care of by Justine. Her land is stunning and felt blessed to have permission to eat some bananas, try different foods, and have the option for fresh coconut from the property. I enjoyed learning about the life she’s created for herself as it was an absolute inspiration for me; knowing I too can create the same thing for myself. Communication and connection with her was effortless, and even bonded over a small issue with my rental LOL, girl power! One of my favorite things was the outdoor shower; LOVED being amongst the nature, wild and free. The bed was super comfy too. The comfort of the bed when traveling is a huge must; rest is important to me when I’m away from home. Yes, you will hear the frogs at night and will be woken up to the beautiful sound of roosters and birds in the morning (no sarcasm, I truly enjoyed nature’s alarm like and being witness to the cyclical aspects of nature). It’s not for everyone, yet if you know you have trouble sleeping don’t let that detour you from staying here. Come prepared; I know I don’t sleep well in general, any time I travel I bring ear plugs and my sound machine. Simple solutions. Thank you again Justine, you truly are a magical person and am grateful to have met you.
