We greatly enjoyed our stay here. Bonnie is kind, flexible, and generous with her knowledge of the area and recommendations for activities. The central location allowed easy drives to surfing beaches, people watching in Paia, the road to Hanna, and Haleakala. We so enjoyed the great Japanese restaurant (a 3 minute walk from the front door) that we went nowhere else, but there are food trucks and family dining equally near at hand. The occasional early morning dog and rooster chorus may disturb the easy-awakened. You get these anywhere in Maui unless you are isolated in a resort, and only got me up one out of our three nights there and did not bother either my son or wife.

The kitchen is well-equipped, the house simple, open, beautiful and peaceful. The bathroom is luxurious, the bed comfortable and the daybed worked well for our teenage son. A food co-op in Paia provided organic food and supplies, and a nearby (3 minute walk) grocery store is also available for provisioning.

Despite the close walk to 'town', Haiku is a small hamlet at heart, and traffic past the house is truly minimal.

I have no reservations about recommending Haiku Guesthouse for your stay.
