We "took a chance" and booked our honeymoon away from the beaches at the Maliko coffee cabin, and we are so glad we did. The house itself is charming and full of personality and style. All the details -- the vintage Chinese checkerboards, art, books and tile work are fantastic. The bed, linens and towels are comfortable quality. The kitchen is one of the best stocked rental house kitchens I've had the pleasure to cook in. And the coffee that's grown on site is truly excellent, especially in the coffee press. We bought several bags to take home with us. But the view, and the beauty of the jungle's sights and sounds, are truly one of a kind. At night, the jungle comes alive in raucous harmony - we never turned on TV or music, we just listened and were mesmerized. Absolutely take Sydney's tour. She is an expert on the flora and fauna, and will tell you the history of the property and show you the hidden cultural finds they've made - truly fascinating. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip! The cabin is located just a few minutes from Makawao and Paia, two great towns to explore. Also a greatly shortened distance to Haleakala and the Road to Hana. Sydney is also a wealth of info and insider tips on where to go, what to do and best way to do it, and happy to share. We couldn't be happier with our stay here. Highly recommend and would do it again in a heartbeat!
