For those looking fora quiet, up-country retreat, Margit's place is a good location to explore; the hamlet of Haiku, historic town of Makawao, access and shopping in Paia, particularly Mana, the natural food store. Over and above that, hiking in native pines and eucalyptus forests is not far (Waihou Springs and Kahakapao Loop), proximity to and from airport, nearby park and quiet neighborhoods for running and day trips to Kula and Haleakala. We appreciated most the country views on the property to relax/read a book with the ocean in the distance.
