This recently renovated house is fully equipped with modern amenities to ensure your stay is comfortable. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway for two, a family reunion, or a personal growth retreat, this location provides the perfect backdrop.

The property boasts a versatile layout capable of accommodating various group sizes, as it is much larger than it appears.

Upon entering, you will find the main living area on the middle floor, featuring a master bedroom with a queen-sized bed and an en-suite bath adorned with stained glass windows. The fully equipped kitchen, dining room, and living room with cathedral ceilings provide a warm and inviting space for gathering. Step out onto the covered lanai to soak up the serene surroundings.

On the lower level, enjoy the comfort of a king-sized studio suite (which can be arranged as two twins) and an additional bedroom that includes a queen bed, twin trundle bed, and laundry facilities.

Nearby adventures include Piiholo Ziplines, World-Class Kite and Windsurfing at Ho'okipa, and the breathtaking Jaws big surf site. Hiking trails abound just 3 miles away, while delicious dining options such as Haliimaile General Store and Mama's Fish House are only minutes from your door.

The airport is merely a 15-20 minute drive, providing ease of travel while allowing you to unwind in this peaceful garden paradise.

Our botanical garden flourishes with colorful flowers and fruit trees, creating a constantly changing landscape throughout the seasons. For those interested, we offer guided tours to learn about Hawaiian plants and the art of coffee production.

A seasonal stream flows gently through the property, enhancing the serene ambiance of your stay. At an elevation of about 1000 feet, you will enjoy cooler temperatures—ideal for comfortable days and restful nights. This spot strikes the perfect balance, allowing you to explore Maui’s wonders while enjoying quiet evenings in a lush setting.

Summary: This place was just magical. A beautiful location, out in the woods. The sanctuary nearby with the greenhouse was great, and the property was fun, interesting and unique. For us, it was a home base as we did the Road to Hana, and it worked out well for that. Also very close to the airport and town. We had a problem with a car not starting, and the property manager was quick to help us solve it.
