We loved staying at the cottage! It was so nice to be back -- we stayed there many years ago on our honeymoon. The cottage is private and has a beautiful view. The property is truly a gem, full of incredible, gorgeous flowers and trees. And the host is lovely, too, with wonderful stories and suggestions. We highly recommend staying here.

Second visit to this amazing place. It allows me to connect with the world around me and to find peace with no distractions. The views are unreal and just taking them in is a spiritual experience. Terry and Michael are awesome, and the fresh eggs they bring are the worlds finest. Bring some groceries, and if you want a quiet, relaxing getaway in paradise, you are set! Awesome experience once again!

My son and I absolutely loved this place. It was adorable and had everything we needed. The gardens were amazing, animals so much fun and the view........ The only bad thing was we only booked one night. Given you are in the middle of the Hana Highway - which is incredible with all its waterfalls, beaches, and hikes - it is a good stop so you don't have to travel too far to take in all the HH has to offer. If I am ever on Maui again I will definitely go back.

We stayed while the storm was passing through, I believe this was the only place on the road to Hana which had power and water as they are self suffiecient. The gardens were gorgeous and Michael and Terry were very good hosts. The location was exactly as described in the listing.

Isn't that what life should be about? Fantasies and the loss of fear. A new beginning for life ahead. So glad we could play a small part. Do come back! Michael and Terry

Perfect experience to end our stay on Maui. In the rainforest/exotic plant/farm way of living. Terry and Michael should be guides for us all, in sustainably practices. Waking to the chirping birds, fresh eggs, walks in the gardens, scents of beautiful flowers/plants. Natural nourishment for our senses and souls. Cannot explain by words, one must experience it. (Clean minimalist cottage with all the amenities including much appreciated laundry). Hope to be back someday. Mahalo.

This was our second stay at Terry's wonderful cottage. We can't recommend this place enough. The cottage's setting is nestled in the trees overlooking the blue waters off of the Hana coast. Privacy and serenity are what this place is all about. It's the perfect home base for exploring this side of the Island without the rush. Lots of extras are included like beach chairs, coolers, towels etc. We will return!

We absolutely loved our stay at Etabeni Cottage in Maui. This was the perfect retreat! Our hosts, Michael and Terry, were so sweet and accommodating. They communicated to us before-hand on how to drive the famous road to Hana which led to an amazing experience. The cottage was beautiful and we loved listening to the rain fall at night. Loved strolling through the property and looking at all the plants and flowers growing. We also loved the fresh farm eggs for breakfast which reminded us of home. Thank you for having us! If we ever get a chance to come back to Maui, we would definitely stay again!
