About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Historic Upcountry Maui Property With Pool, 7Bedrooms, Sleeps 16
Removed from the resort beachfront crowds, the 2 acre Banyan Tree simply overflows with peace and Hawaiiana. Giant Banyan, Monkeypod and Jacaranda trees create perfect shady spots to lounge or sun lovers can enjoy spectacular ocean and mountain views while hanging out around the large pool.
We are just a mile to the quaint cowboy town of Makawao and a 15 drive down to Paia, both of which are brimming with restaurant choices and boutiques. Paia is also home to some of the best beaches on the island.
For those whose taste leans a bit more adventurous than beach days, upcountry Maui is also known for its hiking and mountain biking. Between Poli Poli, Haleakala National Park, and the Makawao Forest Reserve, you will have more than enough exploration options for your trip.
Furnished in traditional island style furniture, the living room, formal dining room, and bedrooms will give you the flavor of old Hawaii. Alongside the flavor of old Hawaii, you will have the conveniences of modern Hawaii with high speed internet, a laundry room, and a fully equipped kitchen.

Upcountry gem
Where else on Maui can you find a seven bedroom, seven bathroom private home that exists in a botanical garden? This place is an Upcountry Shangri-la, whether you’re working or playing. It mixes the utilitarian (see above about bedrooms/ bathrooms) with the Romantic: jaw dropping views, unforgettable sunrises and sunsets, and a view to the night sky that would make an early explorer just as relaxed. I’ll bet there are two dozen interesting trees on the property: an epic Banyan tree, an avocado tree, citrus trees, and many more of the flowering variety I couldn’t identify. There’s a beautiful pool and jacuzzi, and a set of common areas that make you want to hang out. I was part of a crew that was filming on Haleakala. We needed a place up the mountain that would make our daily commute manageable. I highly recommend.

A very special family holiday
After months of searching for a spot and planning a family Christmas/New Year vacation for me and my extended family, including 4 toddlers, we settled on the this property on Maui. Simply put, it was perfect for all of us. Beautiful compound on a stunning piece of property with hosts who jumped through hoops to be sure we were happy and comfortable. The 10 days we spent on Maui will forever be a special memory for me and my family and we hope to stay at the at this beautiful B&B again someday. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! You will be VERY happy if you choose to stay here.

Family Vacation - Everything was beautiful
I don’t even know where to begin. Our stay at the Banyan Tree Bed & Breakfast in Makawao was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this place was a gem. The facilities were lovely, well-maintained, and designed to make you feel at home in paradise.The location was perfect—right in the middle of everything! Whether we wanted to explore the charming little cowboy town of Makawao, head to the beach, or take a scenic drive upcountry, it was all within reach.What truly made the experience stand out was how every single need was taken care of. We even had the pleasure of hosting a dinner for our group of 12, catered by the talented Chef Evan Presents. It was such a memorable evening, made possible by the thoughtful amenities and beautiful ambiance of the property.The pool was crystal clear, and the hot tub offered breathtaking sweeping views that were perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. Having a washer and dryer on-site was an added bonus, especially after long days of adventuring.I also appreciated the transparency—there were no hidden fees, just genuine hospitality. A huge thank-you to Helaina for making our stay so seamless and enjoyable. A perfect place to stay with oyr adult children and their friends, and my husbands parents. Everyroom had a showerI truly cannot recommend this place enough. It’s the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and beauty, all wrapped into one unforgettable experience. We will be back. . Mahalo!

Great place, great location
This was an excellent property for our family reunion. We stayed in 7 bedrooms with attached baths. The kitchen and dining rooms were large enough to accommodate our needs. The kids loved the on-site pool and ping pong table. The location was central to all the activities we took advantage of. Being close to the airport (as well as Costco) was an added advantage as we made multiple pickup trips to the airport. The check-in and check out with Helaina was a breeze. We had no issues and would highly recommend this property for large groups.

Family Vacation Maui
We needed a place to stay in Maui that could accommodate our group of 16 people consisting of 6 separate family groups. We preferred to say near the center of Maui so we could make excursions to various attractions. Makawao was the perfect location for this and the Banyan Tree Bed and Breakfast exceeded our expectations. The individual suites are private and the main home living room, dining room and kitchen were large enough for our entire group to gather together. The pool is very large and was fantastic; our grandkids and family had a great time swimming. The lawn is large and was a great place for the grandkids to play. The grandkids also loved the ping pong table in the sunroom.
The landscaping and views are spectacular. We could not be more pleased with this property and everyone had a great experience. We want to return there in the future.

Wonderful place to stay
We were a family of 13 and this property was perfect for our Hawaiian vacay! Lots of lush greenery and flowers, open space for the kids to play, pool and hot tub that we all enjoyed and the main house was large enough for us all to gather in. The kitchen was large and spacious and had everything we needed to make meals. And the location was excellent! Centrally located to all the sites and beaches on Maui and 20 minutes from the airport. Our host, Helaina, was lovely and very responsive to any questions or needs that we had. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others without reservation!

The Banyan Tree
This property was an amazing oasis for our large group. Plenty of beds and separate areas for relaxing. The backyard was very large and fun for our children to play in. The pool is much larger than it seems in the pictures and on the days we used it we had a lot of fun. The kitchen was nicely stocked with basic spices, and provided ample space for cooking. Having laundry available was also a nice amenity! We would absolutely stay here again and look forward to returning someday!

40th Anniversary Trip
Thirteen of us gathered for a 6-night stay at this phenomenal property. The property grounds were gorgeous, the home was spacious and well equipped. The main kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. We loved having coffee out by the pool each morning and appreciated the fresh fruit brought over from the property manager. We were minutes from downtown Makawao and about a 20 minute drive to the local beaches. The bedrooms could use some heavier blankets and more towels but otherwise we were very happy with our stay.

Check in and communication were flawless. The property was better than expected. Plenty of room for our large family with gorgeous views, enormous pool and well supplied kitchen. The town nearby was perfect for coffee, bakery items and local shopping. Nothing was far away and we enjoyed snorkeling, zip lining, hiking, and beautiful sunsets. The chickens on property were a bonus.
Local coffee shop and bakery were amazing. Every bedroom had a pod coffee machine but the only place we found to buy pods was Costco. They did have a drip coffee maker in the main kitchen. Laundry was $6 per load. We all agreed we would return to this same location in a heartbeat. Prayers for Maui.

In the Heart of Nature
When our family of 12 arrived at the Banyan Tree House, we felt as if we were at the heart of nature. The property was breathtaking with all of the colorful trees and foliage. A cute little Rooster and hen were walking around the place with their feathered feet. They woke some of us each morning to start the day early doing yoga , walking and looking at the mountains and ocean in the distance.
Our family had so many plans when we arrived here but our plans changed to staying here and enjoying all this place had to offer.
There were fruits, vegetables and beautiful foliage on the property. All of this surrounded the big pool, hot tub and outside shower, as well as, the house and four cottages. We immediately began relaxing by the pool. Noone wanted to get groceries for the grill but two finally did
There were two swings. One swing and lemon tree were hanging from the humongous Banyan tree.
The house had a large dining room, den, and kitchen. The three bedrooms had two beds, a kitchenette and their own full bathroom.
Each of the four cottages had a kitchenette, full bath, one to three beds and their own lanai. With the wind blowing and big windows open, we stayed cool and slept well in the comfy beds in the house and cottages.
This place has us already talking about coming back to Maui and staying at the Banyan Tree House. It was exactly what we thought of when we thought of Maui with its mountains, waterfalls, and ocean. Nature at its finest!

Relaxing & Peaceful on Maui
Our family of 14 spent time on Maui at the Banyan Tree Bed & Breakfast & then on Oahu. Maui was our favorite. The Banyan Tree Bed & Breakfast lends itself to a more relaxing vacation. You are surrounded by the beauty of Hawaii. We spent each evening watching the sun go down sitting next to the pool. There was plenty of room to meet together, but also plenty of room for a large party to have privacy. We were surprised that the sun was down by 7:30 p.m. This led us to going to bed early & waking up early to the sound of many birds and wildlife as well as the chickens by 5:30 a.m. You should be aware that you need to bring your own coffee pods for the keurig & paper towels (1 provided). There is a large washer and dryer on the property with furnished detergent, but you are asked to pay $6 a load. There is no breakfast provided, but in Makawao just a minute or two away there is an outstanding bakery, Komoda Bakery. There is no air conditioner which took some getting used to. However, each room has a fan. By the time the sun went down it surprisingly was a little chilly. We opened the doors and windows and enjoyed the breeze through our rooms. The property is older, but is very clean. Our host Helaina & her husband live next door to the property & were quick to respond to questions & needs. The house is centrally located which made it easy to go anywhere on the island. We loved how relaxing & peaceful our time was at the Banyan Tree Bed and Breakfast and would highly recommend it!

Celebration Weekend
As opposed to a traditional party, we rented this property for a long weekend and our entire family was able to relax, eat, drink, and enjoy time together! I knew it would be fun, but it surpassed my expectations. It matched our style and speed perfectly. The hosts were available and responsive to every question we had. We had a blast and made beautiful memories. I would do it again in a heartbeat when my next son graduates from High School! Thank you Banyan Tree Bed & Breakfast.
Property had an old Hawaii feel, entire home was very clean and stocked with everything you would need at a home away from home. Property manager was very kind and responsive to anything we needed. Over all we could not have ask for a better place to enjoy a relaxing family vacation.
I would definitely recommend Banyan tree inn and will will be back if ever needing a place to stay in maui.

A wonderful historic property with plenty of room for active kids - We enjoyed catching up with each other while the kids played soccer & ping pong. Everyone enjoyed the pool. A great base from which to explore beaches & the local towns. Helaina was welcoming & available if we needed anything. It was a much more authentic experience than staying in a resort or condo. Would definitely stay again.
