Fodor's Expert Review The Banyan Tree Bed and Breakfast Retreat
3265 Baldwin Ave., Makawao, Hawaii, 96768, USA Fodor's Choice
If a taste of rural Hawaii life in plantation days coupled with quiet time and privacy is what you crave, you can find it at this 2-acre property: it's awash in tropical foliage, dotted with banyan trees, and has a 50-foot, saltwater pool and in-ground spa that afford views of Maui's northern coast and Molokai. The cottages (with granite-topped kitchenettes and private entrances) are simple and functional, but the gem is the 1927 plantation house, with its sprawling living and dining rooms, commercial-grade kitchen, and a lanai that will take you back in time.
PROS
- one cottage and the pool are outfitted for travelers with disabilities
- free on-site parking
- you can walk to quaint Makawao town for dining and shopping
CONS
- cottages have pretty basic furniture and few amenities
- some daytime traffic noise
- not all units have air-conditioning
