4-star hotel
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Banyan Tree Bed and Breakfast is a 4-star property in a former plantation house dating to 1927, set on a 2.5-acre estate in Makawao. Historic Makawao is about a two-minute drive away, and the grounds offer a quieter base for exploring Upcountry Maui.
Accommodations
Lodging comprises three suites in the main house and four separate cottages. All have private bathrooms and kitchenettes equipped with a minifridge, microwave, and coffeemaker. The suites share a living space, fireplace, and enclosed lanai, and can be rented together as one unit.
Dining & On-Site Facilities
Complimentary continental breakfast is offered. A yoga and meditation studio, pool, and hot tub are also on site; one guest reported that the hot tub was not functioning during their visit.
Estate & Setting
The estate includes a garden of tropical plants and trees, with hammocks and swings among the outdoor features. Guest comments describe the grounds as quiet and appealing, with a relaxed, nature-oriented atmosphere.
Nearby Places
Hui No‘eau Visual Arts Center is about 1.0 km away, while Ho‘okipa Beach Park and Baldwin Beach Park are approximately 9.0 km and 9.7 km away, respectively. Other nearby-area stops include Surfing Goat Dairy Farm Shop & Café, Twin Falls, Mama’s Fish House, and Kula Botanical Garden.
Best for
This B&B suits travelers seeking a quiet, garden-set stay with more independence than a standard guest room: each suite and cottage has a kitchenette, and the main-house suites can be booked together. Its Makawao location also makes it a useful base for exploring Upcountry, with historic Makawao a short drive away and beaches, hikes, and other Maui attractions within reach by car.
Travel tips
Plan on driving to reach many of the listed attractions: Ho‘okipa Beach Park is about 9 km away, Baldwin Beach Park about 9.7 km, and Twin Falls about 9.3 km. Hui No‘eau Visual Arts Center is much closer, roughly 1 km away, and historic Makawao is about a two-minute drive from the property. If you have an early outing, one guest said breakfast was delivered to their room the night before a sunrise trip; confirm arrangements directly rather than assuming this is standard.
