Owners live on property.

We encourage you to respectfully enjoy our property however please
no loud and boisterous parties, thank you.

This is a NO SMOKING property. No smoking is allowed any where upon the property.

Pualani Hale is approximately 2000 square feet and overlooks views of Haleakala Ranch and west Maui.

The rooms are on the small side but the space is large and the views are breathtaking.

This 3/2 is attached but completely private from the owners wing.

Please note that use of the pool, hot tub and dry sauna are private if reserved via our shared calendar app.
Mahalo!

This area of Hawaii is special and unique. It is a very different experience, one of the mountain.
We are on 2.5 acres and nestled upon the slopes of Haleakala (meaning house of the sun in Hawaiian).
The summit of Haleakala is at 10,023 ft and is a must see while on Maui. We are at approximately
3000 ft and surrounded by cattle ranches and forrest.

Hiking and mountain biking trails are near by. Wild pheasant, deer, pigs and Pueo (hawaiian owl) are often seen.
This is a very special place on Maui and only really described by being here in person.

Because of the natural beauty and peace afforded by this amazing place we encourage you feel that solitude and to please respect the same of others.
We are however excited to meet our guests and get to know each other. It becomes a more personal experience for all parties. Of course if you want to be private please do, we are always available to answer any questions or to help in anyway. Just text or call.

Pualani Hale also shares the property with our one bedroom B&B Jungalow cottage. You can see that listing here:
https://www.vrbo.com/1972718?unitId=2537235


In order to respect each others privacy while using the facilities, we have adopted the use of a shared calendar app. When reserving use of the pool, hot tub and sauna, it is strongly recommended we all use it.
You can reserve your private time as desired or leave a note for others to join if you don’t mind company.

We do attract a lot of honeymooners and couples celebrating anniversaries, so it is our intent to offer each of our guests the same opportunity to experience the peace, tranquility and romance that our property offers.

As you will learn, sound travels incredibly far up here so please keep your voice low while outside. And please no business calls
poolside.
We do however want you to let loose and have fun so it is really about communication and respect of others expectations.
See our house rules below.
Mahalo.

Bliss in the Mist
Ditch the beachfront condo and stay Upcountry! The silence, the view, the flora and fauna, the rain, the winds through the eucalyptus trees, the stars - where do I stop? The winding and narrow road just adds to the feeling that you are "away from it all", but don't worry, it's actually not that far from town! I know most people come to the islands to experience the beach, but this place is paradise. Come relax.

The pictures do not do this place justice. The views are breathtaking! I am so glad we decided not to stay on the beach for this part of our trip and really wish we could have stayed longer. The host was just as amazing. If we ever come back to Maui, we are definitely staying here again.

Pualani Hale is THE home when staying in Upcountry!
If you are considering a stay in upcountry Maui, this is the home! Photos and commentary cannot accurately describe the beauty of this home and area. The terraced property and the home full of windows allows visitors to truly experience the peace of upcountry. We enjoyed coffee each morning on the deck watching the sunrise and listening to the birds. Dawn and David are amazing, kind hosts who work hard to provide a fabulous stay. Dawn helped us in so many ways with wonderful recommendations, tips, and even a ride to town for one of us when the rest were gone one day. The home is well equipped and Dawn's attention to detail makes for a special stay. We were greeted with eggs from her silkie chickens, and there were beautiful plants and flowers throughout the home. We loved enjoying the pool and hot tub, especially at sunset. The stars at night are so bright! I loved the plants, trees and flowers on the property.We were able to go to all the different areas for beaches, as well as RTH, and Haleakala. Truly the best of both worlds. We loved every minute at this lovely home and were so sad to leave. Dawn, thank you for having us, we hope to return! A hui hou, Charlotte

Peaceful stay upcountry
The host was so kind providing excellent service and making sure we had a fantastic experience. The highlight of the rental was the stunning views, offering panoramic vistas of the lush Maui landscape. The home itself was beautifully decorated, spacious, and had all the necessary amenities. The well-maintained grounds added to the charm, providing a peaceful retreat. Highly recommended.
