This was a great place to stay for proximity to the Haleakala summit and also the Road to Hana. It is near the main highway from the airport but I recommend taking a slightly longer scenic approach via Pulehu Rd and Omaopio Rd if you arrive while it's still light. Joanna was very friendly on arrival and departure and I didn't see the family much in between as I was out exploring the island. She provides a great list of nearby activities when you book to help you plan in advance conveniently.
