Hale Hookipa Inn Makawao

This Bed & Breakfast is amazing. This Craftsman bungalow is a little slice of Maui heaven. The inn keeper Cherie is wonderful! She was really helpful in giving us suggestions for where to go explore and eat in the area. We stayed in the Rose Room. Highly recommend staying here!

When you're tired of the resorts, this is the place to come. The atmosphere is relaxed, and even a bit quaint, but everything is well tended. Our room was cool (temperature) and colorfully decorated with great up-country charm. Cherie had to be off island while we were there, but her pinch hitters were really helpful, giving us great suggestions. Breakfast was delicious - they provide fruit, coffee, bread, jams, butter, etc, and local eggs, but you get to cook yourself. Makawao is a great small town, with good food in restaurants with lots of local charm, some amazing local art, and hospitable without being in-your-face. Definitely coming back to stay here next time.

Cherie is a great host!! This house is divided in 4 separate rentals (3 rooms on one side, 1 set of 2 rooms on the other). Each unit has its own bathrooms but does share kitchen and complimentary breakfast with the rest of the guests at 8am which consists of fresh tropical fruits, cereals and toasts. This is a great time to hear from other guests on their adventures and also taking to Cherie (the host) to get more information about the areas. This is a hostorical house so the rooms and furnitures will bring back memories of the past. But everything is clean and works well (with the exception of WiFi which is very slow). There are ample parking outside for guests. This is a great location if you want to do the Haleakala sunrise or want quick access to the airport. We found it was great to finish the Road to Hana and then come stay at this place. Then the next day go up to see the sunrise at Haleakala as this is easy to get to for both locations.

We had a lovely stay! The room and bathroom were very nice. We especially loved sitting on our private porch listening to the birds. And an occasional Cockadoodledoo from one of the many Roosters that roam Makawao 😊 Just a short walk to go see many artist shops or grab a bite to eat at quite a few different restaurants. We will be sure to return on our next visit to Maui.

I stayed here last November while attending a meditation retreat in Kula and I loved it! I'll be back this month, March 2017, and bringing my partner this time so she can appreciate how lovely it is. Cherie does a beautiful job putting her special touch on everything from the decor to the delicious breakfasts. I highly recommend Hale Hookipa if you enjoy a peaceful charming getaway!

There were two couples in our group... We flew over from Oahu for one night. We stayed in the wing right off of the kitchen (2 bedrooms and one bath)... I can't remember the name of that wing. We had a wonderful stay. The grounds are beautiful and historic. It's a pleasant change from the typical hotels and resorts. It's homey and personal! When we come back to Maui later this year, we will definitely plan to stay here again!

Located a 10 minute walk from historic Makawao town. It's in an old plantation home and has a ton of character. Fresh, seasonal fruit for breakfast every day, along with locally baked breads and an unbelievable selection of jams. The owner has put a lot of time and effort into making this place special. Loved our stay, and would definitely stay here again!

Really enjoyed our stay. The Inn is the perfect reflection of the islands...peaceful, beautiful, and laid-back. We enjoyed talking with Cherie and the other guests. The location is central to the things we really wanted to do--Haleakala and Hana Highway.
