Welcome to your ‘Hawaiian Dream Temple’

While we have been devastated by the recent wildfires in the town of Lahaina, the rest of our beautiful island is open to visitors, we welcome you anytime!

This unique & luxurious Asian Style Bamboo Cottage is a custom Eco-designed vacation rental comprised of 1,800 square feet of covered living space, split 'Island style' between 1,000 square feet of indoor space and 800 square feet of 3 covered decks. It’s ideal for 4 Adults ( optional : 2 Additional children on Sofa Bed in Bedroom 1) looking for a private, peaceful & relaxing destination.

Our place is featured number ONE in the 7 Best Places to go Glamping in Hawaii by the Big Seven Travel, an online ranking magazine.

THE PROPERTY
Bedroom 1: Queen Bed (2 extra kids can sleep on the Sofa Bed in Bedroom 1 at an additional rate of $25 per person, per night) Bedroom 2: Queen Bed

Aloha, the 'Hawaiian Dream Temple' is your best choice for taking your vacation to the next level of serenity as you relax and unwind on the large wrap-around deck in your own private hot tub and admire the tropical flowers and vibrant fauna. Listening to the birds while relaxing on the lanai will be your favorite part of the day.

Perfect for romantic and private honeymoons, the interior is constructed of all hand woven bamboo, and with an open air plan, the ceilings and walls allow for tropical breezes to flow throughout the home. The living room is a vaulted Asian style ceiling and the kitchen is fully appointed with appliances and cooking utensils, as well as tea, and coffee.

Both bedrooms have queen-sized beds and a private lanai (Hawaiian for deck) with beautiful seating areas for morning relaxation or evening reading. The bathroom has an over-sized, deep Jacuzzi tub, plus a shower.

As a guest of the cottage, the owner has graciously extended use of his family pool so you'll have shared access to the amazing 40-foot fresh water swimming pool - located a quick 3 minute walk down the drive next to the main house. Designed with an Asian theme in mind, this tropical pool oasis has palm trees swaying in the breeze, creating the perfect place to let your stresses slip away. A lava rock waterfall gurgles next to a shaded balinese meditation gazebo that overlooks a bridge that spans the deep end and 1-foot-deep swimming moats for small kids.

The homeowners welcome you with Aloha and are passionate about creating a special space for your precious time away from it all!

THE LOCATION
The cottage is completely private and very much separate from the main house. You have your own large yard, private gated driveway and parking area. Situated away from the commercial and 'touristy' areas in the 'Upcountry' of Tropical Haiku, you'll be close to waterfalls, hiking trails, zip lining adventures, horseback riding, cycling routes, and Haleakala crater.

If you're interested in enjoying activities close to home, inquire about hiking to a local waterfall or participating in sound healing sessions with the on-site manager, Guia. The community pool is also available when you prefer to relax by the water.

The cottage is 15 minutes from beaches, the quaint surf town of Paia, and 10 minutes from the upcountry town of Makawao. Even closer is the world famous Ho'okipa beach with its legendary surf break and some of the best windsurfing, kite boarding, & surfing in Hawaii.

You don’t need to walk anywhere to experience the stunning beauty as you drive along the 'Road to Hana' (Highway 360) for fabulous views of the world famous Maui coastline.

After exciting Hawaiian adventures, dine at some of Maui’s best seafood restaurants, like Hawaii's top-rated Mama's Fish House Restaurant, just minutes from the house!

Hidden gem in Maui
My husband, son, and I had a wonderful stay at this property. If you enjoy peace and serenity, this is the place for you! It was so quiet and relaxing! The owners were easily accessible and the house was well stocked and clean. The location was fantastic and close to a few towns with shops, restaurants, and beaches. We had such a great time and will definitely try to return again!!

All Mahalo No Mini Malls
We really enjoyed the home and the gorgeous surroundings. It’s what I would imagine to be true to an authentic aloha Hawaiian vibe. Truly a part of the island that will take you away from your Mini Malls and McDonalds and submerse yourself in tropical paradise.

lovely oasis
Bamboo bungalow was as featured and check in was a breeze. The property is about a 10-minute drive to the shore, so if you don't mind this, it's a lovely place to be. We found the bungalow setting very quiet with a sweeping jungle-like view. It also felt very private.

Perfect Secluded Gem
Staying at Hawaiian Dream was an amazing experience. It’s very secluded and private, but also close enough to stores, restaurants , and beaches. The house is completely surrounded by stunning plants and trees. It is very well equipped with not only standard household items, but also beach items. The hosts are very pleasant and while live on the same property, we didn’t see them. If I come back to the island in the future, I’ll definitely stay again!

We arrived late at night and it was very easy to get in and all the pictures do it justice. We were super thankful to see there was some laundry detergent and washing machine!!! The yard is absolutely amazing and the setting is stunning. We were able to hear the animals and the rain and it was amazing. I would highly recommend!!!

Secluded and nestled in nature stay
If being close to rain forests and peaceful/secluded stay is what you are looking for, then this is perfect for you. Close to the first mile stop of road to Hana. If you have infants/toddlers, then it could get slightly tricky, as there is not much you can do after sunset. There are limited dining options closeby, so you need to plan well for dinner. The hot spa tub was not operational when we were there. The common pool was not ultra clean if you are planning to use it for younger kids or toddlers. Otherwise everything is as described and perfect for people who want to find something different from beachfront homes.

A wonderful stay at true bamboo retreat!
The reviews were all spot on. The grounds are lush, the house and surrounding area are so quiet, and the property spotless. The hot tub on the deck was very relaxing after 12+ hours along the road to Hana. Thanks to the owners for providing us some great local snacks on arrival and sharing their beautiful place. The only complaints were the lack of working lights and electricity in the bathroom, and we didn’t have cream for the coffee. I would recommend this spot to anyone! We will be back.

Maui Wowie
After camping on Maui for the first few days, my wife and I were in dire need of a hot shower and some relaxation. We e-mailed Guia and asked if there was a possibility to check in a little early and she quickly responded w/ a "Yes, absolutely, your rental is ready." The shower was great, the hot tub even better. This is in a great, quiet location near the town of Haiku (great sushi restaurant) and near the little resort town of Paia. If you like the North Shore of Maui (which is a little rainy-for 5 minutes- and windy at times) then stay here! Amazing mornings with coffee, some rain and the sound of birds in the morning.
