We LOVED Sydney's cottage at the Maliko Retreat. We stayed here for a portion of our honeymoon and are so happy that we did!

The views are AMAZING. You will not get these views from the retreat. Yes, this place is Upcountry, it is minutes from the beaches of Paia and beyond. We even drove to Kihei and lahaina in the late morning and made it back in time for dinner. Everything on the island is much closer than it seems.

Sydney was an amazing host. She greeted us warmly and showed us around the house. She also gave us a tour of the estate. It is absolutely perfect. She loves her land and she has some really really amazing things to show you. I would not skip this!! She was so warm and inviting and really a pleasure to be around. If you're looking for something different with beautiful views and lovely furnishings, then this is the place for you!!
