About this property

Relaxing home away from home- honeymoon friendly

The view of the ocean and coastal pasture makes guests exclaim "wow" as they enter the dutch doors of this cozy cottage.

This is a place to relax. You can watch the whales play and hear them sing at night. The cows lazily graze through the pasture below with the Big Island of Hawaii off in the distance. Sunrises and sunsets offer stunning colors across the sky. You can also appreciate the views from the comfort of your bed. We have stocked the cottage with all of the amenities you will need to make you feel right at home.

For the more adventurous, there are hikes, beaches, and waterfalls nearby. Haleakala National Park (7 Sacred Pools) is located 4 miles south of the cottage and Hamoa Beach is 3.5 miles north. A small freshwater pond is only 1/4 mile down the road.

Lovely spot

I had a very enjoyable stay at the cottage with great views and a wonderful lanai to enjoy them. Nature did not disappoint with short rain showers and rainbows. The location is great, between Hana and Kipahulu. Loved the cows in the pasture nearby.

Ahhhhh…..serenity

The cottage is truly relaxing. As soon as you walk in you feel a beautiful breeze off the ocean and can see and hear the surf below.The porch is such an easy place to relax: stare out at the ocean, watch the numerous butterflies and birds that live in the meadow or have a drink with a great book.The cottage is very well looked after and is equipped with everything you might need. We loved the location as it was between the town of Hana and the national park.Michelle, the host, was terrific with providing all the information we needed for an enjoyable stay.While visiting, we loved swimming at Hamoa Beach, hiking the Pipiwai Trail and gulch trail, the Hana Highway with its spectacular views and the people/shops of Hana.The cottage is the perfect place to capture the best that Maui has to offer.

Amazing Retreat

We were on Maui for 4 days and chose to spend all our time in Hāna at this beautiful and peaceful cottage. We were so glad we did!! There are many amazing sites close by but this charming cottage is a destination in itself. The extensive view of the ocean is amazing and the grazing cows add to the serene scene. We spent many hours on the porch, soaking in the beauty and tranquility. It was very hard to leave.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Horen

Host profile image
My name is Michelle and I manage this heavenly cottage for an old family friend, Chuck. This cottage is a hidden gem which I hope you get to experience for yourself! I enjoy interacting with guests of the cottage. Their gratitude is a constant reminder of how lucky we are to call this place home.

Why they chose this property

Many of our guests return annually. They all say the photos don't do the place justice. Everyone declares the view spectacular. There are 70 acres of government preserve between the cottage and the shore. Even so, when the whales are here (Dec-Apr), you can hear them splash. Cattle and a few horses abound in the preserve, and you can watch their calf's frolic. A thoroughly restful place. The serene views and private nature of the cottage offer a sanctuary of kinds for guests.

What makes this property unique

Koali Ranch Cottage started out as a vacant lot set aside for a school house. In 1955, the Territory of Hawaii decided that it did not need a school there and auctioned it. Chuck's parents were successful bidders. The Territory insisted that the house be erected within a year. The cottage was designed by local architect John Tatum, working with island famous Val Ossipoff.
