The kitchen is a tiny place, though fully equipped. It has a small refrigerator, a microwave, a convection oven, two-burner propane stove with broiler, toaster, and automatic coffee-maker. The kitchen floor is white-washed terra-cota tile, and the cabinets are hand-crafted by Volcano cabinet makers, built around the original 1930's sink. The dining room is one large step up onto the raised wood floor.

A bag of Hawaiian Lion's Coffee is supplied for the mornings, and there is also a coffee shop a short walk from the cottage. A slightly longer walk will get you to the Lava Rock Cafe, where you can get a cooked-to-order breakfast.
