★Jump-start your journey along "The Road To Hana" and relish in the convenience of our prime location, allowing you to stay ahead of the crowds and truly enjoy the experience:)
Aloha and welcome Haleakala Cottage, your ideal Maui retreat situated at the beginning of the ROAD TO HANA! Our stunning garden cottage provides a tranquil escape surrounded by the lush greenery and natural beauty of Maui. Whether you're here for an anniversary, baby moon, honeymoon, or even to renew your vows... Star Lookout offers a magical haven away from the stresses of daily life. Immerse yourself in the natural surroundings of the tropical jungle and wake up to the tranquil sounds of nature. With convenient access to grocery stores and dining options just 15-20 minutes away. Haleakala Cottage is the perfect base for exploring the island while also providing a peaceful and rejuvenating retreat.
This little cottage is a perfect "home" for you on vacation - not a sterile hotel room. (And indeed, our 'jungle' environment will make itself known when you see a gecko on the wall above your kitchen light. Don't let them freak you out - they're called 'mo'o' and actually mean good luck and they are totally harmless).
We live on property, so will be very happy to answer questions about the island etc. Something very different from the usual "tourist" experience! But please note: WE HAVE NO TV RECEPTION. However, we DO have high speed internet and a smart TV so you can relax after your long stressful day at the beach with Netflix and Amazon Prime video.
Also please note: we don't do maid service. You are always welcome to exchange linens though, and we have a complimentary guest laundry.
Some days, you'll probably simply choose to stay "at home" - all the facilities to do that are right here, including a beautiful 44 ft free-form swimming pool and, of course, our gorgeous, landscaped organic gardens. Save money - cook "in" - and enjoy the romance of having your own private Haiku retreat on Maui's wild north shore. We're away from tourist crowds, but close enough to town to find a fabulous restaurant if you don't feel like cooking. Great little 'boutiques, featuring resident artists & jewelers; great local fresh cuisine and farmer's markets. Once you've discovered our side of the island, you won't want to leave.
We provide high quality filtered drinking water and full laundry facilities (soap provided) - all linens provided - and some welcome goodies for you upon arrival.
Your sweet garden cottage is very private, with your own lanais, barbecue and private hot tub. Only the pool is shared with a couple other guests.
Your hosts, Jeff and Sharyn, are very accessible (we love texting!)
Guests have our private cell #s, so if there are any questions/ concerns, we're good about returning messages swiftly!
FUN PROPERTY FEATURES:
Private hot tub ✔ Outdoor Shower ✔ Star Gazing ✔ Ample outdoor seating options ✔ Private Charcoal Grill✔ Access to 44ft freeform swimming pool (shared)✔ Beautiful tropical fruit and flowers - including ripening bananas ✔ Complementary WIFI and Guest Laundry ✔
We interact with guests as much as, or as little as, guests want. We always take our cue from guests! Texting makes life easy, so neither of us have to worry about waking someone up etc ... some 21st century techie stuff is good!

This region of the island is an outdoor paradise. There are so many things to do in Maui, and all of them can be accessed from our property. You will be minutes away from beaches, jungles, waterfalls, restaurants, and state parks. Everything you need to make the most of a trip to Hawaii.
Here is a list of some of our favorite places nearby: ★Jungle Zipline Maui - HI (7 minutes) ★Twin Falls Maui Waterfall (10 minutes) ★Colleen's at the cannery (19 minutes) ★Freshies Maui Restaurant (27 minutes) ★Pa’ia and Makawao Towns for shopping/dining/beaches (20 minutes) ★Garden of Eden Arboretum & Botanical Garden (30 minutes) ★Ho’okipa Beach Park (23 minutes) ★Haleakalā National Park (1hr 35 minutes)
We're very much a 'local style' neighborhood where people are relaxed, friendly and into the organic lifestyle. ★ Please drive along our small local road very SLOWLY (10 mph or less) as we like to 'blend' into our local neighborhood and be respectful to our neighbors.
We're a jumping off point to our three small local towns - Haiku (15 mins to restaurants & groceries), Paia (a quaint beach town with a modern, fun vibe), and Makawao (a 'paniolo' / cowboy town with a unique Hawaiian flair). Then, of course ... you have golden beaches, giant sea turtle resting places, tide pools, boogie-boarding ... hiking the crater ... exploring the winery, the lavender farm, the goat farm (Surfing Goat Dairy - how cool is that?) ... the famous 'road to Hana' with all its riches ... waterfalls ... bamboo forests ... Maui's beauty will take your breath away. We think it's the most romantic island in the world (and we've lived here for 26 years!
This area is considered Maui’s “North Shore” and is full of lots of boutique shops, restaurants, farmers' markets, and local jewelers. No matter where you wander you are sure to get the full island experience and find something for the whole family.
No public transit here - you'll need to rent a car to explore Maui
No resort fees, free WIFI, free laundry and most importantly, lots of Aloha!
-We don't do daily maid service, but will happily supply you with fresh linens or cleaning supplies.
-We make the security and privacy of our guests a priority and as such request that OUR ACCOMMODATIONS ARE FOR REGISTERED GUESTS ONLY.
Another note - we're a SMOKE FREE PROPERTY.
-We request that you please please please shower off all sunscreens/body lotions etc before using our hot tubs or pool! Also, please do NOT use any scents or soaps in the tubs as this will necessitate a complete draining of the tub, replacement of filters etc and you would be charged $100 from your security deposit. Also please rinse off after the beach as it's no fun vacuuming sand out of our hot tubs!
Also note - we're a 'green' accommodation - organic and sustainable, so you're doing yourselves and our planet a favor when you stay with us! (But that also means you might see an occasional ant or gecko!)
Also note: WE DO NOT HAVE CABLE, but we do HIGH SPEED INTERNET so you can stream Netflix, Amazon video, etc on your smart TV. We're an ideal home base if you need / want to plan a 'working' vacation, and need to conduct business calls from your place.

About the host
Hosted by Sharyn
Sharyn is an actress, writer, speech therapist, permaculturalist & interior decorator. At the moment, she's enjoying theatre improv and working on a one woman monologue show, which she'll perform in a few months.
Jeff is a retired dentist - now he specializes in metaphysical counseling, and is expanding his hypnosis practice into Subconscious Training. (Previously he used these skills in working with phobic patients in dentistry - but these skills have much wider applications and he's having fun expanding them).
We have one young son, Kai Nalu, aged 19, who was born here in Maui. He's a heck of a surfer! We also have an older son, Adrian, who lives in England with his lovely German wife, Antje and their 2 totally cute kids. We're too young to have grandchildren! aaaggghh!!! But what a treat!
Why they chose this property
Huelo is off the beaten path, wild and wonderful. Who could resist? We have a constant trade wind, so we never 'bake' like the west side ... and here the landscape is lush, so it's easy to do our organic gardening. We wanted a Maui dream escape, but also wanted some conveniences, and these we have aplenty!
What makes this property unique
Privacy and relaxation are things that are priceless. So many people find they rediscover those things, when they stay with us. Romance too, of course - that comes naturally when you've re-created that space for just for yourselves. This is the natural part of Maui - not 'manicured' or 'manufactured' to be part of a Hollywood image. Here, you discover the 'real' Maui - exotic ... waterfalls ... bamboo forests ... soaring ocean cliffs ... nesting seabirds ... wild ocean ... what we dream of, when we say 'Hawaii'. Here, you'll feel 'remote', but still enjoy the conveniences of having access to 3 small towns (Pa'ia, Makawao and Haiku) for easy grocery pickup, P.O., delightful boutiques & fun restaurants.
