I stayed at dukes cottage on my honeymoon with my wife and it was an absolute dream. I almost picked a less luxurious place on the beach (that was about the same price). I was slightly concerned I’d regret staying in the up-country, but as soon as I arrived I knew I made the right decision. The place is very quiet and beautifully decorated. (Dukes cottage is a separate cottage away from the rest of the bnb so no chance of hearing others through the walls)
I could go on and on about everything that was perfect but let me just hit the main ones.
- First and foremost the breakfasts were delicious and beautifully plated. I think the best place to get breakfast on Maui is here. Shannan was incredibly accommodating to my wife’s gluten allergy. (Just make sure you let her know beforehand if you have any allergies)
- COFFEE. If you like coffee, Shannan does it right. The lattes she serves are delicious. She knows how to do coffee/espresso.
- The room itself is extremely clean and modern with a beautiful hawaii theme and an extremely comfortable bed.
- We received a welcome basket with snacks, champagne, all kinds of local treats and candies, and a pineapple! 5 star level of hospitality.
- The views from the room are stunning and peaceful.
- And finally the checkout procedure. The best thing about It, is that there is none! You can run out the door to catch your flight and don’t have to worry about cleaning anything or taking out the trash.
Overall Shannan has created a gemstone here at her bed and breakfast, and honestly I don’t know if there’s anything else like it on the island. I know where I’m staying when I come back to Maui.
