Enchanted Rainforest Cottages: The Apapane Guesthouse (previously known as the Garuda Guesthouse) Please also take a look at our new website for updated pictures and information: EnchantedRainforestCottages.com ... we ARE taking reservations ! You can still contact us through this site using the form. We've updated the cottage with new furniture, new appliances, art from local artists, included books and videos, all new linens and bedding, and generally spruced the place up. Nestled in the rich Volcano rainforest, Apapane Cottage 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 flat screen DVD 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. |
