If you like Mother Nature and want a local Maui experience this is an awesome place to stay. I came here as a young single female, looking for some “me time” to enjoy the outdoors and simple have some peaceful time to myself. Every morning I woke up on a nice comfy bed with organic sheets and a fresh breeze of Maui island air. (There are 3 big windows in my room so if you like fresh air you got it) Marianne introduced me to a place down the street that offers yoga so that became a regular routine for me to kick start my day. Then she gave me tips as to the fun local activities in Haiku. Within a 10-15 minute drive there is twin falls with a flat 1-mile hike and four big waterfalls (my favorite site thus far), several beaches to sunbath and surf, the famous Hana freeway drive, and a number of fruit stands and farmers market. They have a good location that’s very close to Mother Nature, restaurants, and yoga studios. I liked staying at Gary and Marianne’s because they are a friendly, open and interesting couple to chat with and great hosts who can tell you local events that’s happening.
