This is a luxury cottage nestling a gorge that has views all the way to the ocean. Cool breezes will lull you to sleep and exotic birds will wake you in the morning. The cottage is extremely well stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies, and has plentiful pillows and linen. Want to go to the beach prepared? No problem, there’s chairs and coolers! Although Haiku isn’t where all the happenings are it’s only a short drive with scenic views to the popular towns of Makawao, Paia, Kihei, Kahului, and Lahaina. Also, being away from busy towns will give you a serene, quiet and private environment to decompress at night and be well-rested for your next days adventure. The hosts Steve and Ivy are very personable and approachable, extremely hospitable, and are always willing to give you any info you’re looking for. They do have dogs, but they’re all friendly and very non-intrusive. Overall, this is a wonderful place to stay and a nice change from hotels. It will make you feel like you’re a local with your own little slice of paradise. Enjoy!
