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.
Please contact me about adding additional rooms to a booking. This does not change the maximum number of guests allowed, just gives your group extra space and beds....

I love the property and its location as I am originally
from Makawao. The grounds are well maintained, as are
the cottages and home. The dwellings are rustic, swimming pool fantastic, kitchen lst class and ambiance

We loved the historical feel of this splendid place. We are an adult family of ten. We were able spread out, have a little privacy, and come together as a joyous family.

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.

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.

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!

A wonderful experience, a fabulous host and an all-around amazing time. It felt like coming home, and there was enough space for all of us, and nobody was on top of one another. The views were breathtaking, and I cannot compliment the property and the host enough. It truly takes your breath away!! Thank you for having us

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!

Helaina's banyan tree paradise was the perfect place for our annual work retreat, and a great vacation spot for large groups! It met all our needs-- clean, spacious property with plenty of rooms for individuals and couples, kitchen stockful of supplies to cook our meals, large communal living space to hold our informal work meeting, and a beautiful pool and outdoor space to relax in. Great location only 15 minutes from the airport and walking distance to downtown Makawao and a local tequila distillery. Highly recommend!

A great place for a family vacation! We had a large family vacation planned and this was the perfect spot! Enough room for everyone to have their own space and for everyone to gather together as well! The space was gorgeous and we enjoyed cooking meals and eating together! We would highly recommend it! The hosts were very accommodating and quick to respond when we had any questions or needed anything!

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.

4 families total 14 people stayed at this place and we all had an amazing time!! Communication with the owner went great and she was always responsive. One family couldn’t come to the trip but she worked out a refund for us by closing off one of the rooms. She even bought a new rice cooker for us!! Thank you so much for the great hospitality.
