If you are looking for some up-country Maui experience this is a great place to make your base. The drive up is beautiful. Andeven though it is up in the mountains, the drive down to Hookipa beach is less than 15 minutes. Marianne keeps the house in impeccable order. It is beautifully decorated and smells heavenly with all her essential oils. What I liked most about the place is Marianne as a host. She is a very evolved human being and even a short conversation with her whether about ayurveda or spirituality can be very enlightening. Very highly recommend the place.
