Photos and Description of the Makawao vacation cottage rental
Cottage, Studio, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2)

Wild Ginger Falls Vacation Cottage is located in Upcountry Maui just minutes from Makawao Town and close to Haiku and Paia. Nestled in the midst of coffee trees, towering bamboo, fruit trees and rock cliffs, this private, unique and amazing cottage is filled with Hawaiiana treasures from a bygone era.

Wild Ginger Falls Vacation Cottage is a private, secluded and very romantic cottage situated on 2+ acres of lush tropical landscaping with an endless supply of common and rare birds. There is a seasonal waterfall but it is NOT guaranteed.

The cottage is conveniently located near the charming towns of Makawao, Haiku and Paia - where restaurants and boutique shopping abound. It is also a short drive from the cottage to natural attractions, beaches and the airport.

Wild Ginger Falls Vacation Cottage offers visitors a unique and more real experience of Maui that isn't available in most resorts.

About The Owner

Sunny Jordan and her husband Bob Flint created the Wild Ginger Falls Cottage to give their guests a memorable experience. Each item in the cottage was hand picked and reflects their good taste and sense of style. Before retiring in 2008 Sunny was in upper management of Art Galleries and now spends her free time creating some sort of art. Bob has been involved in ceramics for the last 50 years and in addition to his major State commissions he teaches at a nearby art center. He also maintains a large studio on the property where he is always making something exciting in clay. Bob and Sunny work hand and hand on the property; Sunny designing and Bob bringing her designs to life in the form of moving boulders and planting trees/plants. Their cottage and property is a tribute to their vision, dedication and love of the aina (land).

The Owner purchased this cottage in 2001
Why The Owner chose Makawao

The day we purchased our property the waterfall was gushing and it was so exciting that we jumped at the opportunity of owning a secluded, jungle property with a seasonal waterfall. There is no other property like this so close to town - yet it is secluded and there are no neighbors in sight. The location is perfect! Guests have restaurants and shopping minutes away. The drive to the main attractions, Hana and Haleakala Crater, are approximately 1.5 - 2 hours away. And....it is very romantic!

What makes this cottage unique

The cottage has a wonderful screened porch that looks across a dry stream bed into basalt cliffs with banyan roots - it really is a breath-taking view. It is a great place to curl up with a book or watch the birds flit about. If one watches carefully they might see the Blue Heron who comes to find tadpoles in the stream bed - or the rare Amakii, a Hawaiian bird with a curved beak that feeds from the flowers. It is a great place to sit and observe nature. Another nice feature for the more daring is the outside hot/cold shower next to the Jacuzzi tub - which is memorable at night under the stars.

We provide coffee/tea for your stay and breakfast items for your first morning.

Eating, relaxing and exploring

5 of 5

If you enjoy eating well on vacation then the Wild Ginger Falls is a perfect place. It is just 2 miles to the famous Hailii Maili General Store, and Cassanova’s in Makawao. Just down the street from Cassanova’s with its excellent Italian food is the Komodo Bakery with lovely fresh pastries. And a short drive up the mountain will bring you to La Provance for breakfast or lunch. In Pa’ia you will find the well-known spot, the Fish Market, for a good fish burger.
The cottage is comfortable and supplies every need including snorkeling equipment (Keihei is about a 30 minute drive) BBQ and Jacuzzi. And the hosts are friendly and helpful. Wild Ginger Falls is a wonderful place for relaxing and exploring.

A Great Getaway

What an adorable cottage. The decorations are so tropical & wimsy. Location is very peaceful & quiet. The owners are so accomadiating & helpful, and know of all the good places to visit & eat, have lots of information on local customs, and things to do. A great welcome breakfast in fridge. All of the necessary items to cook with; beach towels & sunscreen & bug repellant in case you forgot your own. Set up with everything you could need, just like home. Felt like we were on our own private island, love being away from the city, but close enough to visit. Would definately go back and recommend!

This cottage exceeded our expectations. It had everything you could ask for and more. Bob and Sunny are the nicest hosts- they really see their cottage and services through their guests eyes. Location is beautiful, the garden gorgeous and the cottage is decorated so beautifully and with so many special touches, yhere are too many to name. I highly recommend this place to everyone visiting Maui. Believe me, it can easily measure up with any 4 star hotel, just with much more personality and very generous hosts who really care.

Owner's Response: Suzi & Uli, you two were wonderful guests! We loved having you stay here and getting to know you. If you lived here I know we would be good friends! I know NY is a long way away, but we hope you will make the trip again and come to see us. Thank you for all that you did before you left (it made our jobs so much easier :->).

Romantic Adventure

5 of 5

We had a wonderful experience at Wild Ginger Falls and can't wait to return. It was tidy, clean and very comfortable while providing all the amenities we needed. We loved the proximity to Haleakala, Paia and Makawao. After an active day, Wild Ginger Falls was a welcome retreat were we could relax. We enjoyed the out-door soaking tub under the banana trees and the outdoor shower. We only had to make one request, for a coffee grinder, and Sunny made sure it was waiting at the door the next morning.

The wifi did not initially work but it just needed to be unplugged for a few seconds and then plugged back in to reset it. There was only one bar for our AT&T and Verizon cell phones, but all calls were free on the phone in the cottage. The setting is very peaceful and only an occasional car could be heard/seen on the road above waterfall and going down driveway next to the cottage. The cottage is near the main house but felt mostly private with large bamboo/plants in between. It did rain every night but the waterfall was not active while we were there.

You can tell that Sunny and Bob take great pride in how the cottage and yard looks. The pre-trip communication and directions were great. They provided many fresh food items that was enough for breakfast and snacks all three days. We did feel like we were in a tropical forest setting and could hear frogs at night and birds in early morning. It is clear to us that Sunny and Bob want their guests to have the best stay possible. They came by before we left to thank us and ask if there was anything they could do to make the cottage better.

We wish all of our vacation experiences could be this great!

Owner's Response: Hi Dawn & Rick,
Thank you so much for your review; you put a lot of thought into it and it is greatly appreciated. We love hearing about guests experiences when unsolicited - it does help us to ensure our guests have, as you put it, "the best stay possible". You were great guests and we hope you stay with us again one day!
Aloha,
Sunny & Bob

Wild Ginger Falls - a great place

5 of 5
Submitted: March 1, 2012 Stayed: February 2012
We have stayed here many times. It is a tranquil place in a beautiful setting of bamboo, coffee trees, and tropical flowers. The cottage itself is spotlessly clean and well-appointed with a comfortable bed, good kitchen with everything needed, and a large bathroom with rain forest shower and tub. Our favorite thing is the screened in porch with table and chairs and sitting area for reading. We eat our meals out there while listening to the birds and the sounds of the swaying bamboo. The owners are helpful, friendly, and there if you need them. They also provide many helpful hints about the island and give loads of information about activities and the history of Maui. We love this place!

Owner's Response: Ken & Jan.... We love surprising you with new things we have added to the cottage - this time the new granite counter tops! After 9 stays at Wild Ginger Falls it is like family visiting! I mean really, who else but family would teach Bob how to make prize winning pie crust! (that was a yummy apple pie!!)We are already looking forward to seeing you next year. Thank you for your kind words about Wild Ginger Falls.
