We had a great stay at Pookela 1115. The house was very comfortable, bathrooms and kitchen nicely renovated, clean throughout. Lovely breeze in the evenings and great view from the balcony looking out at the hills, coast and Kahului lights in the distance. Sun setting on the peaks was beautiful. Another review implied you are on the 2nd level of a house. Yes you are, with steps up to the front door, with the carport and laundry underneath, but this is a standalone house with no one else in the property. People in Makawao were very friendly and this is a good base for the crater and for Hana.
