Blissful setting with lots of animals and plants. Very relaxing. The Sacred Garden is fun to explore, and the location is a short drive to Makawao, and convenient to the airport, and Haleakala. If you want access to all parts of the island, it's a nice location to stay. Kitchen was well organized and nicely stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. Kiki the black cat came to visit each day and gave us all the love we could take.
