We really did not know what to expect from our trip to Hana. Upon arrival, the quiet solitude of this lovely cottage made the grueling Hana Highway well worth it. Rebecca and Mike are wonderful hosts, very knowledgeable and helpful. Our time spent (in Hana) and the surrounding area would not have been so enjoyable if not for this peaceful abode.
The only downside to staying in the Maui Rainforest area is the constant need for bug repellent. Our hosts did a fabulous job of insect control within the cottage and on the grounds, but if you venture out, remember to take your spray with you.

Our experience staying in this cottage was nothing less than idyllic. It is located in the middle of a tropical flower and fruit garden. When I say it was like Eden, I mean it. You can see the ocean from the windows. There is an excellent hot tub. Because of the incredible privacy, my wife and I were able to use it in broad daylight, unclothed, without the slightest nervousness. The kitchen facilities were superb -- I would be happy to have them in my own home. We were able to prepare three wonderful breakfasts for ourselves using food purchased at the Hasagawa General Store down the road.
There is only one "downside," although we discovered that it was actually an asset: no cell phone or internet access. As a result, we were pretty cut off. But hey, sometimes that's a wonderful thing!
In sum, what I had thought would just be a nice place to stay while we explored Hana and the east side of Maui became, for my wife and me, a second honeymoon. This is the most romantic place I've ever stayed.

We stayed in the Tradewinds cottage for a few nights in July. We have three boys and there was ample space for us. We loved the farm, the views, the quiet. The whole family did enjoy the hot tub-with the lanai you could still use it in the rain! We were there in the dry season, and it did rain every night. It is buggy, and bugs and geckos do get in, but you are in the jungle(and they were not that bad-no bug bites!!).It is a great place to stay to visit Hana, Oheo Gulch, to hike to the waterfalls, and visit the beaches(black, red, multicolored). Having a kitchen was nice to be able to cook dinner too-not many places to eat in Hana(Althought the Hana Restaurant was very good too!). If you want a quiet, relaxing place to stay-this is it! Stay in Hana a few days-a great experience! Would stay here again in a second.

Lovely cottage in a great setting. Only two cottages on the flower farm, so it is very private. Rebecca and her dogs will take good care of you. You are on a farm in a rainforest so better prepare yourself that bugs do enter the cottage. Very convenient to the Waianapanapa State Park (Black Sand Beach), Hana Lava Tube, and Tropical Botanical Gardens. The small town of Hana is a three mile drive and ‘Ohe’o Gulch (or the Seven Sacred Pools) in Haleakala National Park is about a half hour (for a great hike to a 400’ waterfall). Note that there is no cell coverage in the lodgings (advantages and disadvantages) and we never found the wireless signal which was supposed to exist.
