We just returned from a one week stay at Nona Lani Cottages and want to share our experience with others. If you are looking for a relaxing, low key vacation in a convenient location on Maui, all at a reasonable price, this is the place to go. The cottages are spread out across Large well maintained gardens. There are BBQs, hammocks and loungers for communal use. Each cottage has a good size deck with table and chairs, and this is where we spent most of our time, watching the sunsets or enjoying the bird songs.
The kitchen was quite well equipped in some regards, and less so in others. There were plenty of good quality pans, cooking utensils, a full oven, microwave, etc. which was perfect for us as we ate at the cottage most evenings. However, the provision of drinking glasses was a bit erratic - two, mismatched wine glasses and four huge tumblers and nothing in between.
While the cottage was very clean and had everything we needed including iron, tv, beach chairs and umbrella, cool box, plenty of towels, the decor is looking very dated and tired. I can imagine that for some guests this would be disappointing though it didn't matter to us. I think that sprucing up the interiors of the cottages with new curtains, sofa covers, pictures, etc would make an immediate difference to the look and feel of these cottages.
The owners were very friendly and helpful, as was the gardener who kindly took our recycling away unasked.
The beach opposite the cottages is wonderful to walk along but not so great for swimming - somewhat murky water and submerged rocks. So we went by car each day to visit other beaches on Maui - no great hardship.
All in all, we highly recommend Nona Lani Cottages for an inexpensive, low key Maui vacation. If you're looking for 5 star luxury and modern minimalist decor, don't stay here. But if you're looking for a friendly, low key and inexpensive vacation, we recommend you consider these cottages.

I have to start out by thanking the family who own the cabins for a lovely time. With three generations happy to provide suggestions for places to go and things to do, we felt like part of the family too (one of the sisters even offered to lend me her coat for a morning trip to Haleakala!) Another one of the sisters also makes fresh leis and upon checking in (when they heard we were on our honeymoon) we were given a beautiful lei.

We agree with the other reader who liked staying in Cabin 7: so did we and we loved it. The garden-view cabins are great because the lanai (patio) looks out onto beautifully manicured grounds, we had lounge chairs and a hammock right outside the door and parking is only a few steps away. There were shared BBQs on the grounds (and because we were there over the holidays, the grounds and cabins were decorated with festive lights).

In our research on where to stay we considered staying at the Days Inn as well but after staying there for just one day, we were so grateful we chose the cabins for our week stay. Although they were dated (certainly not a luxury resort) and definitely showing wear, they had everything we needed with a separate bathroom, bedroom, and living room/kitchen. It was great to have a big fridge, dishes (even though we mostly ate out, we had breakfast there), and space to spread out. There were very much appreciated lawn chairs, beach mats, umbrella, and cooler in the closet which we used all week. They even had an an iron and vacuum. The only thing noticeably missing was a hair dryer, which I borrowed from the office (but it was the only one for all the cabins).

I would definitely recommend the Nona Lani cabins to others. Another added plus was the location. The cabins are located in the north/central part of Kihei - it is so much quieter and less touristy (no junk shops everywhere and the beach across the street is very quiet). If we wanted to do the busy touristy things, we could easily drive there. In addition, its location made it so convenient to travel to all other parts of Maui (and the airport was less than 30 minutes away even with traffic).

Stayed for 4 days. Beautiful spot, grounds well kept and cottages well maintained and spotless, Beach close by( walk accross the road) as well as lots of great places to eat just a few minutes away by car,

My friend and I booked for 4 nights, but we left after 3 nights. I slept on the sofabed in the living room and got weird bites all over. My friend slept in bedroom was fine. I doubt it is from bed bug.
