Ha'le Kiana B & B — Hotel in Maui

What can I say? The website pictures do not do this property any justice at all. Even apart from the unique sky loft, Steve and Diane’s house is an absolute jewel (I have already told them, if we ever win the lottery, we’ll send an architect round to clone their beautiful home for us!!!) Its location and views from the balconies and living room are breathtaking (with Haleakala on one side and the whole Western Maui peninsula stretching out on the other); the furniture and accessories are tasteful and there are numerous classy touches (lighting, artwork etc) everywhere. Steve and Diane could not be more charming and helpful (without ever being intrusive) and we really enjoyed our chats with them. ||As if we weren’t already in awe, we then ascended to the sky loft… what an experience! It was lovely and cosy in the bubble, the bed was really comfortable and we were blessed with a beautiful, clear starry sky… we hardly dared close our eyes despite knowing that we would have to get up again at 3.30am to drive up to the summit for the sunrise! ||We really regretted only being able to stay one night and having to even cut that one short… I would happily have stayed longer! I think a full night in the sky dome and a second night staying in the beautiful guest room and combining this with the sunrise experience would have been perfect (did I mention the glorious sunset we got to enjoy from one of the terraces?!?) There are lots of nice restaurants and quaint shops about 10 minutes’ drive away in Makawao (on Diane’s recommendation, we went for a very tasty Mexican at Polli’s and then for a great breakfast with gorgeous views at Kula Lodge). ||Definitely one of the highlights of...

Very comfortable stay. The bedrooms offered are in a separate suite / part of the house than the owners live in, providing more privacy than your typical bed and breakfast. A lot of hang out space in the living room area and also two balconies offered to the guests who stay in the top portion, with beautful views! Great location to hit the volcano, and close to AMAZING star gazing. Dianne and Steve were great hosts and we will come...
