Sydney's cottage is in an amazing location. It's very private and you feel like you are in a tree house because you are high up and surrounded by trees and beautiful views. The waterfall was in full flow the day we arrived and it was amazing to see from the cottage. Sydney is a wonderful host. She was there to meet us and had laid a fire for us to light that evening as it was a little on the chilly side when we arrived. She also supplied us with fruit, freshly laid eggs and coffee. Her cottage is very well equipped with everything you can think of. It's like a home away from home. Sydney provided recommendations on local restaurants which were superb. The cottage is close to 3 towns with great food choices (Paia, Haiku and Makawao). Also, we loved going to Foodland to buy delicious poke and bring it back to eat on the deck while gazing out at the wonderful views.
I have just a couple of tips. When we stayed, the birds were chirping most of the time so if you are a light sleeper, you should remember to pack your ear plugs. Also, if you like your room to be dark when you sleep, you should bring eye mask/pillow because the bedrooms can get a bit bright in the mornings. We always travel with these items so we were perfectly happy.
To finish off, I would highly recommend Sydney's cottage. It is a very special place especially if you love nature.
