This review is very belated....but better late than never! My boyfriend and I stayed here last summer and it was the absolute highlight of the 4 places we stayed while visiting Maui. The Mahina Cottage is enormous, private, fully appointed, and just plain beautiful. Our hosts were perfect, gave us just the right amount of attention, and the grounds are lush and stunning. I can't recommend this place highly enough...just book it!!

To begin our three-stop tour in Maui at Maui Moonlight Garden in the Upcountry was a magical moment. Our hosts, Anne and Marvin, presented Mahena Cottage to us for three nights featuring incredible views of the coast and clouds surrounding Halakela from the deck, advice on local places to walk and eat, freedom to roam their gardens, morning calls of neighboring roosters and the chime of the adjacent church's bells. The accomodations were very private with a personal touch of the warmth of their hospitality. We trust others will feel the same.

We stayed in the Lehua Cottage (one of two available) at this B&B, for 2 nights. It is up on the shoulder of Haleakula, so it is out of the humid heat of sea level Maui, yet is not too cold. (A light sweater is a good idea, though). It is quiet except for the sounds of birds and the occasional barking dog down the hill. The cottage is very light and spacious, with an incredible view over Kihei (in the distance) and toward west Maui. The beds were comfortable, and the hosts very helpful and kind. Breakfast (delivered to the room the night prior) was fresh papaya with lime, croissants, and yogurt the first morning; bagels and pineapple the next. Coffee and teas were in the room along with cream and sugar. Very convenient if you plan to go up the mountain for day of hiking, which we did do (allow at least 45 min as the road is narrow with many switchbacks). We stayed with our adult son; cost was $200 a night for 3 of us in this 2 bedroom cottage. Very reasonable for Maui, especially considering the location and view. We DID miss having an internet connection, though!

We have stayed at maui moonlight garden, several times. As always, Anne and Marvin are the gracious hosts and the Mahina Cottage is the best. I would highly recommend anyone, who visits Maui, to check out their website and stay with them. You will not find better hosts and a more beautiful place to stay.
