Stunning!
I almost don't want to write a review for this amazing property because I want to keep it my little secret! The Maliko Coffee retreat is truly a special place. It is absolutely magical. Great for a couple of a family of 4 to 5. Our family stayed for three days in June. We were greeted by Sydney upon arrival and she had a ton of advice on places to visit while on the island and insider tips. My husband and I travel extensively and this is one of the most special places we have stayed. The retreat sits at the top of Maliko Gulch, with incredible views of the Haleakala on one side of the retreat and the ocean on the other. The most beautiful exotic birds call Maliko Gulch home and they will sing to you night and day. Morning rain brings daily rainbows and burns off to afternoon sun. You can even take a bath in the claw foot tub and enjoy views of the rainbows over the gultch and the crater...I promise, I'm not making this up!

The home itself is well appointed for a couple or small family. There are great view from the master downstairs and the upstairs bedroom looks out to the ocean during the day, and amazing views of the stars at night. There are lanai's on both the main and upstairs floors. The kitchen is well stocked and Sydney even leaves fresh flowers from the property and free range eggs from her chickens.
Definitely opt for the personalized tour of the property. Sydney will take you out in her ATV and give you a really informative overview of the tropical flowers and coffee plants on site. She will also walk you to the hidden pools, where you will see pictographs left by Native Hawaiians, whose pregnant woman used to labor in the pools. It was such an honor to visit such a sacred space.
So as much as I hate to let the secret out, I cannot recommend this place enough. There is also the Maliko coffee cottage that can be rented. We will definitely be back with our extended family at a time that we can rent both properties!
