Very cute small place to stay. Sydney has really decorated it with TLC. Loved the shower! Sydney gave us a wonderful and informative tour of the coffee farm - got to see the pictographs, the huge old mango tree, the old stone Christian graves pre-church burial grounds and more. She had left some of her coffee beans that made great espresso.
It was quiet at night but, if you are a light sleeper, it is directly on a road and drivers (workers) and there was traffic noise beginning around 5 am. Also, if it is hot and sunny, the place heats up during the day. We went to Haleakala and did a bit of birding so we had plenty to keep us busy. Makawao is close by, as are other fun places like Pa’ia. We ate in the Garden Restaurant for lunch in Makawao for a delightful experience. The owner is quite funny and friendly. On the other end of the price spectrum we ate at Mama’s Fish House. They claim they are booked up for months but we drove by and we’re able to find a reservation.
Sydney is delightful and easy to communicate with.
