This was our third stay at Hale Ho'okipa, and we're already looking forward to our next trip back! This time around, we invited our extended family and "took over" the inn for a week. You know how family is -- different personalities, different expectations. Everyone loved it -- from our 15 year old nephew to my 82 year young mother-in-law.... More

We recently stayed here in this historical B&B and had a pleasant stay. Cherie and her staff worked very hard to make our stay a great one. Starting each day with a great breakfast of fresh fruit, breads and home made spreads, tea, coffee, and juices was a welcome change from the fast food rat race. We stayed in the... More

Our group of four friends rented the Kona Wing and Rose room. The first is a two bedroom suite that accommodates three and the Rose room is a double. Both were very comfortable and in the old Hawaii style. Cherie is a wonderful, interesting woman with lots of heart. She prepared a great breakfast with plenty of fresh fruits--papayas, strawberries,... More

Cherie and her staff are genuine folks. Best part was the breakfast conversation. This is a rural location--but it's a small island. Breakfast fruit choices are fantastic: most breakfasts had lilikoi, cheremoya, avocado, rambutan, orange, apple bananas, strawberries. There are breads and English muffins, good healthy cereals, and good yogurts. The Kona suite is a very nice size--for two there's... More

I knew I would love Hale Ho'okipa the second I stepped inside, because it smelled just like my family's old house in the Catskills - I immediately felt right at home. I then proceeded to pretty much make every mistake that a guest in a B&B could possibly make. We had late arrivals and early departures so I was unable... More

We rented the Rose Room for a week at the end of December 2011. It is a very charming bedroom, looks like in a fairy tale :) The place is very clean, cosy. It is very welcoming and we felt home as soon as we arrived. Cherie and Laine who took care of us during our trip were very happy... More

We live on Maui and take an upcountry vacation a couple of times each year. We always stay at Hale Ho'okipa Inn in Makawao. The inn is a wonderful historic home that will take you back in time. The inn has kept all the original charm the home had when it was built over 85 years ago. It is listed... More

My husband and I first found Hale Ho'okipa several years ago when traveling to Maui with my mother. We wanted to stay Upcountry because it was the closest location to most of our relatives. Yes, we are from Maui! My great-grandparents emigrated from the Azores Islands in the late 1880s. My grandparents, parents, and my siblings and I were all... More
