A wonderful get-away in a fabulous garden
We make a habit of arriving a few days early for our Maui vacations - and always stay somewhere different for the "pre-vacation" time. Until now. We will very definitely be back for another stay at Entabani Cottage.
Terry and Michael Kristiansen were the ultimate hosts. Where else have you stayed where you can get a personal tour of the botanical gardens you are in the middle of, and have farm fresh eggs delivered for you each morning?
The cottage itself is casual but beautiful. Full kitchen, library, very comfortable bed and a covered porch to enjoy the sunrise. Considering you are in the middle of a jungle there were none of the usual island pests to speak of (apart from a few persistent mosquitos.)
You are upland a little ways, and about 15 minutes outside of Hana. Lots of places to explore, great lunch choices - but a little short on dinner options. Still - it's a pleasure to stay outside the crush of people.
If you've read this far and it sounds interesting, book it now! You won't regret your stay.
Perfect
The location is perfect. The cottage is perfect. Terry's hospitality is beyond perfect. We recommend staying as long as you possibly can at Entabeni Cottage.
Very peaceful
Extremely relaxing. We loved all the animals about.
Amazing slice of paradise!
If you are looking for the perfect get away from the stress and rigors of the day to day rat race....look no farther than the cottage at Entabeni Gardens! This was the most beautiful, peaceful setting for some much needed relaxation. Listening to the rain on the roof at night, enjoying the view of a vibrant rainbow from the deck, and the birds singing in the morning was heavenly. But the personal tour of the botanical gardens by proprietor, Terry Kristiansen, was definitely a highlight! I give our stay here two thumbs WAY up....and can hardly wait to come back!
Beautiful cottage!
Terry is a gracious host who took the time to come out and greet us upon our arrival and even gave us very useful tips about Hana. The cottage itself is small and quaint nestled within an idyllic green paradise. It was the perfect place to come back to after a long day of traveling and exploring. Waking up to such tranquility and breathtaking views, my only regret was not spending 2 nights here. So if you can I highly recommend at least a 2 night stay here!! Thank you again Terry for allowing us into your home and we look forward to our next stay! Mahalo!
A little paradise
This place was absolutely amazing and our only regret was to not have reserved for 2 nights (we were there for one night only). This is a fabulous place in the middle of the tropical forest. Very romantic. The cottage itself is cozy and beautifully laid out and furnished, and the view of the ocean through the tropical forest is magnificient. Everything you need is there and you even have the dinner table ready upon your arrival. Our hostess was warm and welcoming and gave us a thorough tour of the property before giving us our space. She also gave us fresh eggs for our breakfast. Cats and birds cohabit freely on this beautiful property. We will be back!
