Tucked away but easy to find, our experience at the cottage was truly extraordinary. We stopped at the cottage to spend the night while driving the road to Hana. Terry greeted us upon arrival to give us an introduction to the cottage. The 6 acre property is a former flower farm that Terry and Michael have turned into a sumptuous garden. The cottage is nestled on the mountain facing the ocean. They have thought of everything including fresh eggs from their chickens and delicious Maui grown coffee. There is a cozy nook to read and a panoramic view,of the ocean below. There is a place for everything. If you go, we encourage you to bring your own food to cook a meal because the kitchen is well stocked so you can cook. We would’ve liked to stay another day. Highlights of our trip included a wonderful tour of the gardens. If you love plants and flowers, you will be astonished at the wide variety of extraordinary plants and flowers on the property. We were able to explore the gardens on our own after our arrival. But Terry’s tour and meeting and speaking with Michael was absolutely a highlight. The cottage does not allow animals, but there are three cats and a dog on the property that are excellent tour companions through the garden.Our stay at Entabeni Cottage was a highlight of our wonderful trip to Hawaii. Terry and Michael made us feel so welcome. We had privacy as well. We highly recommend the outdoor shower. We will be back!

This is a beautiful place to stay. You are in the forest so there may be a bug or two. It was perfect for privacy and close to everything Hana

We loved this property! So peaceful and relaxing. Everything you will need for a restful vacation is here. Terry and Michael are terrific hosts! They shared their knowledge of the garden/Maui life with us! The cottage is surrounded by gorgeous tropical plants and trees! So relaxing! The interior is beautifully decorated and stocked with everything you will need to prepare meals. We enjoyed having coffee each morning looking out at the ocean while sitting in the living room area with the doors open listening to the birds, a great way to start the day!The cottage is located near Hana, the black sand beach, plus a few more beaches we visited on several occasions and a number of neat places to stop for burgers, pizza, ice cream, smoothies and more! If you're looking to unwind and relax in a tropical environment, this cottage is for you! We enjoyed our stay and if we make it back to Maui, this will be our go to home away from home!

It was a perfect, quiet and relaxing get away. The landscaping is second to none and the hosts are so accommodating. Wished we could have stayed longer.

Our 2nd visit to this beautiful location. We love being in the rainforest...great way to enjoy the solitude after a busy week in Lahaina. Enjoyed the fresh eggs and the on and off rain showers each day. Beautiful Ocean view - very private. The owners are so nice and very accommodating. Thank you both.

Beautiful place with gardens, fresh eggs from the chicken coop, and amazing views. About five miles from Hāna.

Beautiful, private, grounds, and a comfortable, well-appointed cabin with a very nice view. Fresh eggs, and whatever else is available is a nice touch. We would stay there again if we return to Maui.

Beautiful gardens. Fresh eggs, tomatoes and basil. Interesting cat that seems to want to be friendly, but then sat outside and meowed for hours to come in. A bit of spring cleaning needed - cobwebs, window cleaning. Bed sheets need replacing - no elastic left in fitted sheet. Overall a very cute. Quiet and private. Gardens were fantastic (world class), and the ocean view was beautiful. Worth coming back. No question.

This was our first visit to Maui and the highlight was driving the Road to Hana. Having done our research, we knew that this wasn’t something we’d want to rush. I approximated our drive over two days with sites to visit along the way (black sand beach, Lindbergh’s grave, rainbow eucalyptus trees, waterfalls, etc.) and determined that this property would be an excellent “half-way” place to stay. Upon booking, I received a friendly response from Terry providing detailed information about how to locate the property, where to stop to gather food for our stay, things to do in the area, etc. to aid in our planning. All instructions were super helpful.We arrived to the property around 6pm, finding that the gate had been left open for us. When we pulled up and honked our horn as instructed, we were greeted by sweet doggo, Star. Terry promptly greeted us and showed us around, pointing out some of the unique features of the property (outdoor shower, tankless water heater, etc.) Owners Terry and Michael have thoughtfully provided many items that could be useful to those traveling, including body boards, beach chairs, towels for use at the beach, etc. The accommodation itself was adequate for our needs- a comfortable bed, a hot shower, kitchen facilities, secure parking, wifi, and privacy. (Caution: mosquitoes and other pests are abundant. It’s the tropics.)Appreciate Terry and Michael’s hospitality. Hoping to tour their property and Michael’s art studio should we return some day.

Terry made our stay very comfortable through her personal greeting and tour of the cottage once we arrived, as well as all amenities available such as fresh eggs and bananas. The cottage and surrounding property are stunning, and her cute cat who lives on the lenai loved to hang out with us. Only wish we could have stayed longer, would stay here again!

The Cottage at Entabeni was the perfect setting for exploring the Hana area and romance. It was so peaceful watching sunrise and sunset on the porch, getting visits from the kitty, and just slowing down. We appreciated the fully stocked kitchen, bed was incredibly comfy and we had a built-in sound machine with the wind and rain noises. The property tour was a nice touch and we enjoyed our conversation with Michael about all the botany!

Our visit was so magical….it was like we were in another world! After driving the windy Road to Hana, we didn’t think it could get better…..but it did. Our stay at the Cottage was so wonderful. We felt like we were in a tropical oasis. It was so peaceful with their amazing garden and ocean view. And Terry was so great! We had fresh eggs every morning, to start our day.This place is truly a one-of-a-kind magical place! I highly recommend staying here. You won’t want to leave.
