We have mango, coconuts, coffee, papaya, lemon, tangerine, bananas, avocados, lilikoi (passion fruit) macadamia nuts, lychee, breadfruit, and flowers galore—haleconia, bird of paradise, jade vine, and ginger. Different flowering trees take turns blooming so the valley is constantly featuring a different splash of color. While our cancellation policy is "No refund" we are happy to refund bookings if we are able to re-book the dates. Gardening classes are also available as well as tours of several of Maui's other unique farms. We also offer personalized private retreats and can arrange for massage, private yoga or Qigong, relationship-, spirituality-, creativity-, personal growth-, life coaching, intuitive readings....we are affiliated with Maui's best practitioners... There is a seasonal stream running through the property so from time to time there is the additional treat of a stream—(or a river!) running through the yard. The elevation is about 1000 feet which is PERFECT on Maui! We are about 10 degrees cooler than sea level which makes for absolutely comfortable days (70-80 degrees) and GREAT temps for sleeping (usually in the 60's). This is the MAXIMUM elevation you can stay and still go scuba diving on Maui. Speaking of diving...we are avid divers and can assist you booking Scuba Diving with the best dive operation on Maui. (Makena Coast Dive Charters) You will definitely want a rental car....there is a bus stop a mile or two away but not ideal....and bikes are a little hazardous as these are hilly, windy, narrow roads. Getting Married on Maui? We can officiate the ceremony for you! If you need more space, we work with the neighbors and can guide you to their sites for larger groups.... Just let us know what you are looking for! We can also assist you in booking your vacation activities. House Rules: Quiet Time 9pm-8am.
