For my husband and I, this place was ideal. We're not interested in staying in the thick of things, with resort life and lots of hustle and bustle. So this relaxing, spacious property offered us solitude and comfort and was a perfect base for our three week stay. For reference, it is about an hour to great snorkeling either on West Maui or near Kihei and Wailea. It has better proximity to both Hana and Haleakala than the resorts. Pro tip: Visit the Haleakala National Park website and secure sunrise tickets two months before you'd like to go. They are very limited and nearly impossible to get with the daily lottery.
We were there in November and the citrus on the property was abundant and tasty. We watched the sunset nearly every evening in the gazebo. The Saturday Upcountry Farmer's market was just 10 minutes away and was better than any other market on the island.
A big plus was the family! They were very friendly --- so available whenever we had a question or wanted opinions on where to go.
