Ocean Vista Farm Stay in Haiku on Road to Hana | Other in Haiku

Our beautiful Maui accommodation, the Ocean Vista, is a two-story space and is unlike any other space on the property. The lower level has a queen-size bed and walks out onto a private lanai overlooking the ocean. The loft portion is a bright, cozy space with brand-new bamboo floors, skylights, a twin-size bed, and a desk with sweeping views of the ocean and coastline. The loft can serve wonderfully as a private and inspiring office. A private bathroom & shower are located within the space.
The space
Our eco-retreat center is situated in the lush tropical rainforest of north shore Maui in Haiku, making our property the perfect location for growing organic fruits and vegetables. The land is bathed in ocean trade winds and negative ions from the 150-foot waterfall just below us. We offer an alternative Maui experience in comparison to the leeward side resorts and are the perfect mid-point stay for a road to Hana journey.
The center's buildings are situated along the cliffside of a seven-acre property. The Plumeria room is on the ground floor of the Ohana House, just a short walk to the shared: pool, hot tub, sauna, and kitchen.
Hale Akua is a magical and idyllic place created and designed to provide a natural and supportive environment for groups, couples, families, and individuals to relax, renew, and restore well-being.
Note: Please keep in mind, our center is a rustic compound in the middle of the jungle. We do have de-humidifiers and air purifiers in every room. We are centered in a tropical rainforest with many weird and wonderful insect species. We only use natural pesticides and cleaning chemicals on the property. As a result, we occasionally have more animal visitors. These may include geckos, ants, flying cockroaches, centipedes, cane spiders, and mice. We are in their natural habitat, so we will not be able to refund any portion of your stay for these house guests.

Guest access
Guests have access to the eco-retreat facilities which include the large saltwater pool, hot tub overlooking the ocean, kitchen, and dining area. Guests can also get guidance on what is great to visit by looking through our guidebook in their room or asking for help at the office. Reviews on VRBO are always appreciated
Other things to note
The price listed includes cleaning fees and extra coffee, tea, and cream if needed in the room.
Because we are also a certified organic farm, an interactive, in-person course in regenerative agriculture and closed-loop farming is offered to all visiting students. We also provide classes in yoga, hula, communication training, and Lomi Lomi massage if requested. Our massage team includes three highly trained Lomi Lomi practitioners and one instructor who is certified to teach individuals how to give Lomi Lomi massage to their partner. Learning opportunities are available throughout the property and at the office. In addition, to the interactive farm tour, guests can access extended courses in closed-loop farming via QR codes on their phones. These include in-depth modules on black soldier flies, aquaponics, and how aquaponics supports the health of the ocean around Maui by reducing demand for ocean fish—species that are also essential food sources for whales, dolphins, sea turtles, reef fish, and seabirds. Another QR-based course explores high-protein and anti-cancer foods from Oceania, rooted in traditional cultural practices. For those who prefer not to read on their phones, printed copies of all courses ,are available upon request, at the office.
We are also adding a new and fun activity at Hale Akua Garden Farm. Fishing for tilapia from one of our ponds, guided by a staff member, who will also kill the fish and teach you how to prepare it to be cooked. Truly one of the most delicious fish we have ever tasted and that is because of the quality of the food that we feed them.
The solar electric system at Hale Akua currently consists of 200 solar panels, 12 inverters, and 24 solar batteries. Our founder Lori Grace has invested in this system to prevent unnecessary contributions to climate change. This solar electric system will add another two days of electricity, provided there has been an adequate amount of sunlight charge before an electrical outage. We also have 10 Eco-Flow batteries (3kw electricity per room) which can add two to three days of electricity if needed. Learning to live on limited electricity is a wonderful and necessary education for our current climate situation. We would like for all our guests to learn to work together with our staff in these situations.
Large hotels here on Maui that experience an electrical failure do not provide backup power, nor do they offer refunds. As we do not feel responsible for Hawaiian Electric’s failures, there will be an opportunity for education rather than a refund if we have an outage, and our staff will assist you the best they can.
