We were so lucky to find this gem of a place in the most amazing location. For anyone looking to extend the road to Hana experience for a few days, we highly recommend this place. Your view from the porch and windows is a tropical paradise extending out into the rolling ocean waves of Hana Harbor, which lull you to sleep at night. You are in the heart of the tiny town of Hana, walking distance from the few shops, food trucks and other in town activities. The place has been lovingly renovated with lots of personal details and care. We grilled nearly every night out back and appreciated that the place had a collection of kitchen gadgets. We took advantage and blended our favorite drinks and treated the family to fresh made waffles. There is an onsite caretaker in the cottage out back, which came in handy when a minor hot water issue occurred the first night of our stay. We texted the manager and the response was immediate, and the caretaker kept us up to date and checked in to make sure the issue was resolved. The house was perfectly located to allow us to venture out in the mornings to enjoy all the activities that are usually overrun with people/cars by the time you've made the drive out to Hana. We had giant roadside waterfalls all to ourselves, a nearly private self-led tour of the Lava Tubes, hiked Pipiwai Trail without worrying we'd get locked out of the parking lot at 5pm and spent an afternoon enjoying Waianapanapa State Park, rather than running in and out. This place is a perfect home base for those that want to experience all that Hana and the surrounding area have to offer. Its not the Luxury Properties of Wailea, but if that's what you're looking for, you're probably looking in the wrong location - and certainly the wrong price range. Our extended family (3 adults, 1 child, 1 grandparent) had more than enough space and felt at home in Hana for our extended stay. We would recommend Hana Homestead to friends and family looking for the same experience in the area.
