A Maui Bed and Breakfast Inn: Cottages and Suites

From Kahului Airport you can come by way of the beach and Paia or take the new highway (Hwy 37) straight up the hill through the sugarcane fields. If you are in a hurry its best to follow the map and directions above to take Hwy 37 on up to the Halii Maile turn off. The map above shows a circuitous route around the airport, which could possibly be faster under the right circumstances. It is recommended that you instead take the airport rd. all the way to the big intersection at Hana Hwy. There turn left which will take you a few miles out of town around the airport to the intersection with Haleakala Hwy (Hwy 37). Turn right here and drive up the new Highway 5 miles to the intersection with Halii Maile rd. Turn left here and drive another 2.5 miles to Baldwin Ave where you turn right for the remaining 1.2 miles to the Banyan Tree House Bed and Breakfast.

However if, like most of our guests, you arrive in the early afternoon, you may want to take the much more scenic route by way of the beaches, Paia and the picturesque Baldwin Ave.  If this is you, after getting on Hana Hwy. stay in the left lane to go straight through the intersection through a few more miles of sugarcane and along Spreklesville beach, Baldwin beach, and finally just before Paia town is Paia beach. After taking advantage of the beach on you way you'll probably want to stop in colorful Paia for a meal or just to stroll around. Its wise to decide before hand as the best parking is just at the beginning of town, look for it on the right. There are several other parking lots in town, behind Charlies restaurant off of Hana hwy and just past Mana food store on Baldwin; both are usually packed however. All of the restaurants here offer great food and reasonable prices.

Assuming you are back on Hana Hwy. just entering town, go a few hundred feet more to the center of town and the only traffic light on Baldwin Avenue, turn right and from here you can continue on up the hill 6 miles to Banyan Tree House bed and breakfast, just before Makawao town.  Along the way, just after leaving Paia, about 1 mile up the avenue, you will notice the remains of the old Paia sugar mill. The hamlet of "Upper Paia" starts just after the old mill and continues on up to Paia Elementary school across the road from the historic Holy Rosary Church. During late spring and the summer months Baldwin avenue is a complete visual extravagance, all along the roadside are old flowering trees called "Rainbow" or "Shower" trees. The views of Haleakala or the ocean and the West Maui Mountains are also quite spectacular during the ten minute drive up to the Banyan Tree House bed and breakfast which will be on your left hand side.  Look for big white sign saying "Banyan Tree House", if you go too far you'll get to the Veterans' Cemetery which you can't miss. Just turn around here and drive back down the road a few hundred yards.  See aerial map of the Banyan Tree House

From Makawao Town: From the four way stop in the center of Makawao, at the corners of Baldwin and Makawao Avenues, drive down Baldwin Avenue 0.8 mile to Banyan Tree House on your right. When you are close, look for our entrance on the N. E. side of the road, you should see our small sign out front "The
Banyan Tree House". (Right hand side going down!)

The Banyan Tree House Bed and Breakfast has 7 individual cottages and suites.  Under the Historic Plantation House roof is one of the cottages (Plumeria) and all 3 of the suites; it can be rented as a 2, 3 or 4 bedroom house.  Each cottage and suite has it's own entrance, private bathroom and kitchenette.  Each kitchenette includes a small refrigerator, microwave oven, toaster and coffee maker with fresh ground coffee, teas, hot cocoa etc. Breakfast is served every morning to guests of the suites and cottages, but is not included with whole plantation house or entire property rental.

Banyan Tree House Bed and Breakfast

is just outside of Makawao town, less than 10 minutes from Paia and the North shore beaches. 
Haleakala Park is about an hour up the mountain.  Haiku, Pukalani, Kula and HaliiMaile are all close by in
Maui's upcountry area.  An ideal central location for visiting Maui.  From here little of the island is far away.
