Conde Nast Traveler Magazine "Deal of the Month"

Hale Manu, which means the "Bird House", is our larger two-bedroom guesthouse (sorry, we are an adults only property and do not take children). You will wake up to the sounds and sights of the various tropical birds, as well as the beautiful and expansive ocean view and sunrise. The spacious Hawaiian styled architecture includes open beamed, vaulted ceilings, a large center cupola for great airflow and an open floor plan. Over time, we have completely renovated and professionally decorated the home (most recently in 2008), including a large fully equipped kitchen (a kitchen inventory is available on our website), an all tile bathroom with new fixtures, queen sized beds and a large lanai with teak steamer chairs, gas barbeque and table for outdoor dining under the stars and by the light of the tiki torches provided. The ocean facing bedrooms are conducive to romantic sultry evening breezes.

We take a lot of pride in our homes, as is evident from the many comments provided by previous guests (please see our online guestbook accessible below). Hale Manu is thoughtfully furnished with a fun vintage Hawaiian flair, including a beautifully refurbished 1930's vintage rattan living room set we found and shipped all the way from a small Texas town and original oil paintings by local Hana artists. Sink yourself into the chaise and grab a book off the bamboo shelves to relax the night away or choose a DVD from the small collection we supply. We also have a collection of coffee table books about Hawaii and Polynesia and, since the home is the “bird house” we have bird books, binoculars and a telescope for the avid bird watchers. We have done our best to consider all the details, like high-thread count, all cotton linens, handmade local soaps, coffee and green tea for your first day and for those of you who need to stay connected, we have high speed wireless internet access and unlimited, free mainland United States phone service. We also have the modern conveniences such as a washer/dryer, microwave and more.

Hale Manu is perched at the rear of our fully landscaped, two-acre property, providing PRIVACY. Since we live at the front of the property, we work diligently to maintain our homes and provide excellent accommodations. We are also available to answer questions about Hana and steer you in the right direction to your ultimate vacation, whether that means an active time snorkeling, surfing, horseback riding and hiking or just relaxing at the nearby beaches and swimming holes. Hamoa Beach, considered the nicest in town, is just minutes away. We provide boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, beach chairs, beach towels, beach mats, a beach umbrella and a cooler. We can also direct you to local in-house massage therapists or to the local spa for pampering.

The Guest Houses at Malanai are named after the gentle cooling breeze, (named Malanai) known for this area of Hana. We are located just three miles (a five minute drive) outside of Hana Town in the Maka’alae district, which is considered the most highly desired area of Hana. You are sure to fall in love with the picturesque and pastoral landscape, the ever-changing ocean colors and the gentle sound of the waves lulling you to sleep at night. We hope you choose Hale Manu at the Guest Houses at Malanai for your dream vacation in the islands! Please see our website for details on our EXTREMELY competitive rates and policies and feel free to email us with any questions.

  • We had a wonderful time! A multi-day visit to Hana is what everyone needs now and then. The property offered seclusion with comfort. It was very quiet, relaxing, restful. Thank you for providing all the hawaiian music. Having a washer/dryer was a nice plus. We enjoyed using the deck. And thanks for the loaner beach chairs and umbrella. We also liked visits from all the neighbor dogs.

  • Next time I plan to be in Hana I will book early to make sure I can stay here again. We had a lovely time. The house was phenomenally stocked, we had every kitchen item we needed and more, the beach accessories were varied and just what we needed, and the neighborhood dogs were more than welcoming (they would play when we wanted to play and disappear when asked!). I highly recommend these cottages.

  • Dear Chris and Leokane, WOW!!! Your beautiful spot in paradise is made even more fantastic by the care you take to make your guests feel at home. Of course, at our house we are never greeted by beautiful blossoms scattered everywhere, origami towels, and soothing Hawaiian music. But these are comforts we could easily get used to. We had never stayed in Hana before and it is truly magical. If I had a dear friend visiting I could not have done more than you have to create such a peaceful, beautiful, stress-less environment. Our most sincere mahalo and we hope to see you in August. Helen and Peter

  • Dear Chris and Leokane, Mahalo for a making our stay at Hale Manu everything I hoped it would be. I was impressed from the get go during the communication phase of booking this part of our trip. You were quick to respond to all of my questions via email and provided some wonderful recommendations. Once we arrived in Hana, the directions you provided were excellent, and we very much enjoyed the welcoming Hawaiian music and fresh plumeria blooms sprinkled throughout the house upon arrival. My friends and I loved our morning sunrise walks. Upon return, we'd fire up a pot of coffee and soak in the amazing ocean view from the deck. The house was stocked with everything we needed and it was a nice perk to have wireless internet. Two highlights included our hike to Waimoku Falls and Red Sand Beach. I have already recommnended the house to two friends, and I look forward to a future visit! Thanks again for making my birthday trip one that I will never forget. Aloha, Sarah Coste

  • Dear Chris & Leokane, Mahalo for our lovely time at Hale Manu. It was truly a most peaceful and relaxing vacation. The house was quite perfect for us. Thanks for all the info and help in planning our trip there. It really helped for our first visit to Hawaii. So many lovely places to go in the area. We also enjoyed seeing Leokane at the hotel. It was the perfect ending to our week there. We will tell everyone we know of your lovely home. As I stated in the house guestbook. Down the Hana Highway we came and we will never be the same.

  • When we walked into the Hale Manu, we felt right at home. The decor, colors. design, art work on walls, flowers in soap dish and beds were so welcoming. Thank you Chris and Leokane for a lovely stay. We shall pass along your website to many of our traveling friends. Our greeting committe of Ua and Kimo were the best. Mahalo, Charlotte and Colin.

  • If I could choose one word to describe our 5 day stay at Hale Manu it would be magical. Liz and I had a fantastic time. We loved the privacy, the view from the deck, but most of all, we felt as though Hale Manu was our home. No hotel can make you feel that way. Our stay in Hana was a dream come true and we can't wait to return to paradise
