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!

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.

Chosen for the location but lingered at the beautiful bamboo cottage
Wanted to be near Paia , the airport, and nearby beaches. But in the morning we didn’t want to leave this cottage! It did feel like a bamboo temple!! Perfect for our family gathering of 5. And The pool was as special as the photos. The friendly owner was near by in the main house and answered texts. And. Beach toys were appreciated. If anything could be changed , would have a few more or brighter lights inside. Loved the wrap around porch , but like any porch , it makes the interior darker. And maybe more cushions on the sofa.. But these were very minor issues. Would be delighted to stay here again just the way it was.

About the host

Hosted by Guia Simon

Host profile image
Paul G.: I moved here from England because I fell in love with the aloha of the Hawaiian islands and 'Maui Magic'. As soon as I got off the plane and I felt the warm tropical air, salty ocean breezes and sunlight on my face I knew I wanted to feel this way for the rest of my life.

Why they chose this property

This property is pure Maui magic. I have lovingly landscaped and worked this land for over 13 years, planting many varieties of tropical flowers and palm trees. We have left the old growth Eucalyptus trees to provide lovely shade against the sun, and we receive the north shore's famous trade winds that blow the flowers' scents through the air.

What makes this property unique

We have an amazing family pool by the Main House which is graciously extended to the Temple guests. It has a lava rock wall lush with ferns growing over a in-pool bench. It is spectacular! We have an asian theme at our pool with our yoga/meditation platform and a fun bridge spans across the pool. There are two circulating water features on the sides of the pool that allow for shallow water sun bathing as well.
The Hawaiian Dream Temple has a waterfall feature that starts from a wishing well and trickles down a rocky, fern laden stream bed into a pond surrounded by iris, birds of paradise and other native plants. This flows right under the lanai and front doors to your house and is a great place to enjoy your coffee and tea in the morning or a pina colada after a long day at the beach.( This runs at set times and at certain times of year )
