We loved our stay at these cottages. We are not luxury type people. We love simple, friendly, feels like home places and this fit the bill beautifully. The owner, Nona and her family are welcoming and helpful. The other guests were friendly and we got great travel tips from some who stay here regularly. We loved making our own breakfast... More

My husband and I stayed in the cottages during our honeymoon last August. (We have been meaning to write a review for some time. In fact, this is my first review EVER!) Originally, we were going to stay here 2 nights "on the cheap" to save up for a more luxurious stay the remaining nights. However, we soon decided to... More

Recently found a last minute stay between travel reservations at the Nona Lani Cottages. Selection of cottages in nice grassy well spaced property in the South Kihei region. Just across the road from the beach and north of the congestion of Kihei itself. Lovely cottages in well maintained property run by a family. Very relaxed and friendly feel. Avoid the... More

We just returned from our best Maui stay ever (and we have been several times). It was the best because of our stay at the Nona Lani cottages. Beautiful gardens, charming cottage, great location, quiet, comfortable and incredible sunsets.

My partner and I stayed for ten nights in December in one of the ocean view cottages. While we have been more accustomed to staying in 5 star hotels for previous vacations, this no frills yet quaint experience was actually quite reasonable. The most important factor being... cleanliness. The cottages are very clean, with a good amount of extra bath... More

These are the most beautiful well maintained grounds, beautiful trees/plants, colourful flowers, great lounge chairs and an awesome staff.

Or if you are more of a tree lover, choose a garden view cottage. Or to mix things up, simply move a lounge chair or comfy hammock on the grounds to just sit back and relax in the shade or sunshine.
