Banyan Tree House

Frommer's Review

Huge monkeypod trees (complete with swing and hammock) extend their branches over this 2 1/2-acre property like a giant green canopy. The restored 1920s plantation manager's house is decorated with Hawaiian furniture from the 1930s. The house can accommodate a big family or a group of friends; it has three spacious bedrooms with big, comfortable beds and three marble-tiled bathrooms. A fireplace stands at one end of the huge living room, a large lanai runs the entire length of the house, and the hardwood floors shine throughout. The four smaller guest cottages have been totally renovated and also feature hardwood floors and marble bathrooms.

New additions to this grand property include a full-size swimming pool and Jacuzzi. The quiet neighborhood and old Hawaii ambience give this place a comfortable, easygoing atmosphere. Restaurants and shops are just minutes away in Makawao, and the beach is a 15-minute drive away -- but this place is so relaxing that you may find yourself wanting to do nothing more than lie in the hammock and watch the clouds float by.

Facilities:
Outdoor pool; Jacuzzi; babysitting; small charge for washer/dryer
