Anywhere one turns at this cottage offers a delight to the eye, both indoors and out. I would have been more than happy to spend all my time there, although other adventures called. The location is perfect for an east Maui getaway -- easy access to Haleakala, Kula, Paia, and a good starting point for the road to Hana. Being so close to Makawao was great -- it has a lot to offer in a small area. Sydney is a warm and wonderful host who knows all about the area.
