Holiday rentals near Kaumahina State Wayside Park

Beautiful & peaceful location

We don’t have enough good things to say about our stay here. The cottage overlooks the sea and is located in a private botanical garden. The cottage itself is light, airy and so well-appointed. You even have the option of an outdoor shower! Terry and Michael are wonderful hosts. I had a mad thought to make coconut bread while there and they kindly gave me some flour and baking powder to do it. We really can’t recommend this place enough. If we ever find ourselves once more travelling the Road to Hana, we’ll be back!

The Pole house is one of a kind. Beautifully nestling in the trees and bamboo, it stands proud looking across an incredible vista of trees and ocean. With its fully surrounding balcony and three walls of bi-fold doors, it provides a wonderful living outside feel. The deign and details are clearly well considered and executed, from the beautiful island cooking unit, to the indoor hammock, to the open layout and high ceilings and many more besides. John is a fantastic host, always attentive when needed and open to chat and share stories if asked. His communication both online and in person was impeccable. The location of the Pole house is perfect for Maui. The Road to Hana starts just there, the wonderful Baldwin Beach (recommend by John) is a short drive away, as is the gorgeous little town of Paia. It was also easy to drive to Haleakalā and Kihei from here. The photos on here do not do this place justice at all. It will definitely exceed your expectations as you watch the sunset, eating dinner on the balcony. On the first night, we were treated to an incredible fresh fish dinner with 5 star treatment which was a service John had offered. It made for a great start! The only thing we would change is to hire John’s car on Turo to make the logistics even easier. If you’re looking to stay on the beautiful island of Maui, this is definitely the place to stay!
