We highly recommend a stay at Kula Retreat. It is located in a safe, quiet neighbourhood, and is an excellent base for day trips to Haleakala National Park and the Road to Hana. The highly rated Kula Bistro is nearby, and getting to and from Paia is a breeze. The studio is spacious and well equipped. We love the little touches that Pamela added here and there to give the studio a homely feel. Next, the view from the deck is simply gorgeous. Finally, Pamela is a great host. She is very responsive and offers excellent travel tips for the area. We love her warm and kind personality. When we revisit Maui in future, we will definitely want to stay at Kula Retreat again. Mahalo, Pamela!
