We left weather well below zero, and were delighted to find ourselves in the lovely garden setting of Banyan Tree. The colors, flowers and pool were nurturing to our winter souls. We explored much of the beautiful island of Maui, but felt like we were coming home as our day trips concluded. One feature we looked for was a pool,... More

The owner of this establishment, Marty, is kind and personable. That warmth resonates throughout the establishment. Staying in the common areas such as Lahaina or Wailea are great if you want a vacation in a can. But if you want a retreat nearby one of the most incredible national parks in the U.S., the Banyan Tree House is the way... More

We enjoyed our stay here after a few days on the Maui west coast beach area. It was a central spot for seeing other parts of the island - Halekalea, Paia, Hana. You can walk into the little town of Makawao but there's not much to see other than a few galleries and a few eatiers - an afternoon would... More

The Banyan Tree House is the perfect get away for those people looking for non air conditioned, quite and comfy sleeps, friendly and accommodating hosts, and ample privacy. The location is perfect for quick access to the summit of the volcano, Poli Poli State Park for a hike or mountain bike, or a trip to Hana by car or road... More

We stayed here for 6 days while on vacation in Maui. We were three adults and two kids and we rented two cottages. The grounds are beautiful, as others have said, lush and tropical and with sweeping views down to the ocean. The pool is just big enough for a real swim and there are hammocks and swings nestled in... More

Our family with four kids found the Banyan Tree house perfect for our needs with clean well equipped bungaloes set into a beautiful garden. There are many positive reviews we agree with so we make the point that Makawow is a very special place. Rustic, beautiful, and quaint with few tourists and no big hotels. It is up on the... More

For the past 2 yrs. my wife and I have joined a group of triathletes from the US and Canada for 9 wonderful days at the Banyon Tree House. Our group reserves the entire resort and we bring in our own chef for daily meals. The rooms are spacious and clean and the pool and grounds are well kept and... More

We've stayed at the Banyan Tree about 5 times since our first visit in 1999, and it just keeps getting better every time! Last summer, my husband, two daughters and I stayed in the Hibiscus Cottage. In past years, we've stayed in the Ginger, Gardenia and Plumeria cottages, as I recall. The beds are comfy, which is important on vacation... More
