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!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful little paradise with us. The kids had a blast! We loved Haiku. The grocery store there had everything we needed. Colleens was a nice place to go for a big breakfast! Baby beach (near baldwin beach) was one of my favorite spots to visit.

Maui Sanctuary
We had a fantastic stay at the Dream Temple! Paul was a great host and was very helpful. Overall the property was quiet and beautiful, providing a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of some of the more busy spots on the island. It is only a 5 to 10 minute drive to small shops, grocery and coffee, and 20 minute drive to the larger town of Paia. 30 mins to the airport.Thank you to Paul and his team for being so attentive and accommodating.

Awesome place
The property was awesome. It is located in an area that is much less touristy but worth it after a long day of traveling around the island. We covered so much of Maui during our visit. The beaches are a little rougher in this area because of the wind but still beautiful and worth checking out. Guia was very responsive and gave us some great suggestions on things to see. The nightly visits from their cat was a highlight for my kids. My 7 year old loved the pool. We plan to come back to Maui in a few years and we will definitely consider coming back to this location.

Magical!
This place was simply magical - one of the most unique places we have stayed - beautiful property, quiet, secluded, serene. The cottage itself is lovely and well-appointed. It was a great stay for us and our three daughters. Kitchen was well-stocked. Hot tub on the porch was delightful and we all loved the access to the private pool! I would definitely book this wonderful place again if staying on the north shore of Maui!

Aptly Named
Property was super comfortable, pool, hot tub, beds, well appointed and with lots of beach toys...Great daytime temperatures and perfect sleeping with cool breezes. We enjoyed both privacy and convenient location to Paia and beaches, Makawao, upcountry and Haleakala and road to Hana is just down the hill. Great vanilla or Lilikoi cinnamon rolls and breakfast at Baked on Maui close by. The Makawao Farmers Market and flea market is on Wednesday mornings and we has a great selection in the freshest produce. Guia and host helped make our vacation be what we were hoping for. Mahalo

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.

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.

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.

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!

Quaint bungalow
This was just as advertised, and pictures didn’t do the property justice. It’s beautiful and private, and feels like you have your own little slice of Hawaiian countryside. It was a nice, relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of Maui. The only suggestion I would have would be to upgrade or consider a mattress topper on the Blue Jasmine room bed. It does cause a sore back. The Green Tea room was comfortable, as well as the jasmine room futon. Thanks for a great stay!

A wonderful property away from the tourists
The Hawaiian Dream Temple was a terrific place to stay while visiting Maui with our family. The building was very clean and comfortable to stay for a week. The location was perfect as It is situated in a lush part of the island that was less packed with tourists than other places, yet it was a short drive to world famous beaches, cool little towns, and the start of the roads to Hana or Haleakala. The hosts were in close contact with us and always responded quickly,, though we had no issues. Overall, it was a great vacation rental.
