2012 Room Rates

RATES: The roomrate is $150.00 a night, including all the taxes. We are restricted to two persons per room by the State Fire Code, their definition of a person goes something like this: Are they a Tax deduction and do they have Social Security Number? If so, they qualify as people. For reservations made in 2012 we will again offer a 20% discount to kama'ainas with proof of residence and Active Duty Military. Submariners, Seals and other Special Forces Unit Members get another 10% off for hazardous duty pay.

We are not child friendly and our insurance company will only allow us to accommodate adults- or as we call them "Kids over 21."

RESERVATIONS: We will make and hold your reservation with a MasterCard, Visa or Discover Card number with an expiration date. To complete the reservation I also need a cell phone number where I can reach you while you're on island, the time you expect to arrive at the Bed and Breakfast and the room you'd like to reserve. You can E-mail this information to me, fax it to me at (808) 878-3514, leave it on my answering service -which is password protected, send it by U.S. Mail or try to catch me by phone.

We do Not charge your card until you arrive or don't without notice-see out cancellation policy. You'll have much better luck E-mailing or Faxing the information to us than trying to catch me by phone.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND DRIVING AROUND WITH YOUR LUGGAGE IN YOUR CAR. We are only 20 minutes from the airport so come up and drop off you bags before heading out and about. It'll save you an ugly trip to Wal-Mart. Every rental car now comes with a bar code sticker on one of it's window to help facilitate check-in and check out. This is a dead give away that it's a rental car and easy prey.

The Telephone and Voice Messages: I built the house too big. I'll admit it right here and now, I am never within range when the phone rings, if I hear it at all- too many "Who" concerts, probably! And especially, if I'm not in the house. Right now I am the only guy running the place so between taking reservations, answering E-mails, returning phone calls and getting rooms ready, finding fresh fruit for breakfasts, picking up our fresh French pastries and about a million other things please don't be offended if you don't catch me. PLEASE Remember the sun comes up here last so you can call after work but not before. Even some of the guys from NASA get it wrong. I try to return messages in the morning after the guests leave the house and again in the early evening but not after 6 p.m. here. There are too many area codes and too many time zones. So I may take a day to get back to you. Don't Panic. If you're booking rooms for a couple months in advance it shouldn't be a problem useless it's a Holiday of some sort. When you do leave your message please include in it the dates you are interested in and which rooms, and your phone number and go slow, if you're lucky they may be open. The absolutely best way to get me your credit card number is by E-mail, oh, stop cringing, 90% of our guest do it, either out of frustration at not being able to catching me by the phone or just convenience since they live on the other side of the planet. The numbers go onto the reservation slip and are deleted from the system as soon as you arrive.

Check-In Time is 3 p.m. If you are arriving early, call us, your room may be ready early. Chances of that are slim but at least you can check in and drop off your luggage and not have to worry about them being in the trunk all day and fair game for the local "crack heads."

LATE CHECK-INS: If you are going to be checking in late (After 6 p.m.) Please call ahead or E-mail us and let us know as soon as possible. Even if it's just to leave us a message, we would greatly appreciate it. After 6p.m. we may give your rooms away to strangers.

CHECK-OUT TIME: Check out time is NOON.

EARLY DEPARTURES: If you're leaving early for sunrise at Haleakala let us know the night before and we can have something for you to take with you up to the summit for breakfast. Early plane to catch: same rules. If you plan not to be here for breakfast please let us know the day before either by calling the house number and leaving a message, telling us in person or by leaving a note in the kitchen so we don't needlessly kill tons of innocent fruit.

CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY-: Cancellations made 30 days prior to check-in date will be canceled immediately. Cancellations made less than 30 days will depend on our ability to rebook the room. We have never-as of this morning anyway,had to charge a guest for canceling late, we have always been able to rebooked the room.

RESTRICTIONS: The County of Maui, the State of Hawaii and our Insurance Company have placed restrictions on our Bed and Breakfast operation. We are now, and have been for over ten years, a properly Licensed (BB2 2003/0001) Bed and Breakfast operating legally in Maui County. In order for us to continue to do so we have to abide by these rules. So here are some of ours:

If you plan to scuba dive while you are here DON'T. Check with your divemaster and tell him you're staying at 3,000 feet and he'll probably tell you the same thing. You don't want you to get "Bent" this high up on the mounatian and the hyberbolic chamber is on Oahu.

We are not allowed to prepare hot meals for you, not even toast or oatmeal, we do not have a certified kitchen or a 1,000 gallon grease trap.

There is no smoking allowed anywhere on the premises. It's a State Law-take it up with them. Not even in the back yard, you must actually leave the property to kill yourself.

We are not allowed to-and will never again-do wedding.

We can make ABSOLUTELY NO noise whatsoever outside after 10 p.m., this can result in an Immediate eviction. Our neighbors are very close by and it is way too quiet up here to be disturbing the natives.

The rest are mostly things we have to deal with the County on. Now have as much as fun you can without hurting yourself or us. Always remember that Mother Nature is Lethal here. The Ocean is different here than anywhere else in the world and unless you are very familiar with the currents, the tide and waves don't go out. "When in doubt, don't go out" is a local saying, believe it. The mountains and the streams are no less dangerous, stay on marked trails and go with a guide if you are not familiar with the area or its trails. Always check with the rangers before going into Haleakala Crater or Kipahula and the Oheo Gulch (Seven Pools). Be around to see all of Maui.

All rates include a continental breakfast every morning including fresh fruit grown locally (papayas, pineapples, mangos, bananas, strawberries and/or passion fruit) and pastries from our local French bakery, fresh Orange Juice and Kona Coffee.

When you see the term "WE" used here it usually means me and the Dog!
