The Octagon Studio is located in the beautiful area of Olinda just a few miles above the quaint cowboy town of Makawao. The air at three-thousand feet is fresh and vibrant and the pine and eucalyptus forest above the house provide great hikes and adventures. The cottage is located on an aromatic farm and the mesmerizing scent of rose geranium and lavender is always present. A beautiful 20 minute drive down the hill will bring you to Baldwin Beach near Paia for swimming and beach time and two miles north of Paia are the famous windsurfing and kite-surfing beaches of Hookipa. Both Makawao and Paia provide excellent shopping and dining experiences.

Further details for this vacation cottage rental in Makawao, Hawaii

Sitting benches throughout a genuine garden with terraces of lavender, the famous upcountry proteas, avocado, lemon and Tahitian lime trees, are preserved as an oasis of tranquility for the lucky few who stay or spa here. Conveniently just 25 minutes from the airport and north coast beaches and only forty minutes to the beaches of Kihei & Wailea, the Aromatherapy Foundation of Maui is a sparkling jewel within the treasures of Maui. While others crowd the thoroughfares of the populated beach resort communities below you will be blessed with the tranquility and solitude of the fabled upcountry forest region of Olinda. As Olinda is a hilltop region, you can see the changing scenery of the wonderful countryside, mountains and ocean from every angle around you. The night sky over Olinda is a star-covered phenomenon not to be missed. This hideaway cottage can be found on the sun-kissed slopes of Haleakala in the area frequented by morning rainbows.

You will be twenty-five minutes from the airport and the North Shore beaches, and eight minutes from the quaint upcountry town of Makawao, but a million miles from the challenges of the world and only a heartbeat away from the sound of birds singing, the scent of fragrant breezes through the trees and the silence of your own breath. Our cottage offers a King size tempurpedic bed. The decor is luxurious, with custom granite counter tops throughout, beautiful artwork, and fresh Hawaiian flowers. Your accommodations offer fine furnishings and bedding in traditional Hawaiian color scheme for true tropical splendor.

A spacious deck area surrounds the pool and is perfect for sunning and includes an umbrella-shaded table and outdoor lounge chairs for relaxation after your water workout. Towels are provided for your pool activities. Sometimes for special occasions like family re-unions or extended family gatherings, the best use of the property is to reserve both The Home & Cottage at the same time. This also works well for wedding parties that reserve the retreat for a period of time after the ceremony. Depending upon the sleeping arrangements of the guests the estate can hold up to fifteen persons. The rates for the property used in such a manner will vary depending upon the use and the number of guests.

Slice of heaven

Mountain Mutt Park City, Utah, USA
Review Submitted: January 30, 2010 Date of Stay: January 2010
The property is beautiful. Landscaped, manicured, aromatic.
The view is tremendous. You can see neighboring islands, huge vistas.
The studio is delightfully cozy. All wood, windows, and the bed...scrumptious!
The property has three units total on it but you would never know, total privacy.
The people there, Doreena and Tom, are wonderful, very friendly and helpful.
The property has a nice salt water pool and a hot tub. Unfortunately, the hot tub wasn't heating properly when we were there so we never got to use it. You might ask before booking if it is operating. The view from it would be tremendous.
Caution, the road up through the country is narrow and winding. Be careful. And, it gets worse at night. And, if it is raining and night, definetly not fun. After the first night driving home after dark in the rain we made sure we were in before dark if there was rain in the forecast.
All in all, a very cozy place to stay if you are looking for laid back peace and quiet. Makawao is 8 minutes down the road, Paia is another 12 after that. Lahaina can be reached in an hour, Kahului in 20 minutes.

Aromatherapy Foundation is THE Place to Stay!

Wyoming-Wolf Old Greenwich, CT
Review Submitted: July 19, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Aloha Everybody,
This year we decided to book something different from all the previous vacations on Maui. Olinda is an amazing place, especially if you stay at Doreena’s and Tom’s place! That’s where we chose to stay for 3 weeks this year in early summer (to be exact, from May 27 through June 15, 2009). We stayed at the Octagon, and let us tell you, it’s is a peaceful, magical, silent place where you can forget all the worries of the outside world. The fragrance wafting up from the wild geranium fields is tantalizing. The aroma therapy massage and facial at the spa was one of the best and most relaxing that we ever had. We liked Cujo’s (the watch dog) “attitude”, he seems to understand every word, and we liked his frequent visits. What a wonderful start of the day is relaxing in the hot tub, and then swimming in the pool. During our frequent visits on Hawaii we stayed at different places, including luxury hotels, but this beats anything we called home during our vacations. We will remember this place forever, and we will definitely be back for another peaceful and romantic stay.
