The property is located on Maui island in the Kula district on the drier side of Haleakala. In days before western contact the area was heavily forested with native plants and trees and rainfall was abundant. The native Hawaiian grew bananas, taro and sweet potato. After Western contact businessmen mostly from the United States developed huge tracts of land for ranching and farming which cleared the native forests and destroyed the eco system from the mountain to the sea. Many of the Hawaiian people moved away nearer to the towns and immigrant Chinese laborers from the ranches and plantations moved in. The Chinese brought in the Wattle tree to plant for firewood as these trees grew very fast. These are the majority of the trees that you see today. As part of the Chinese immigration, the founder of modern China, Sun Yat Sen lived here for a time and planned his revolution to overthrow the last Chinese Dynasty. There is a park dedicated to him nearby.We have picnic tables a propane grill, a fire pit and a covered gazebo that is shared with 3 cabins This site is located at the 2800 ft altitude and the temperature at night can range from mid 50 to mid 60 degrees F. If you are planning to go to Haleakala, we are about 45 -60 minutes to the summit. We are also on the south side approach to Hana. There is a great restaurant for breakfast and lunch about 10 minutes away in Keokea town called Grandma's Coffee house.

We are a remote, off-grid farm located in one of the most beautiful parts of the island, surrounded by wild, untamed land. Enjoy gorgeous sunrises and sweeping ocean views. We are a small community growing a variety of medicinal plants and herbs, and we also offer yoga and hula-inspired dance sessions to our guests for an additional fee.
This is a true sanctuary for those seeking adventure. The farm sits at the top of a steep, mile-long 4-wheel-drive road. Guests can either pay for parking and a shuttle via quad with our neighbors or drive up the hill themselves in a 4-wheel-drive vehicle. This property is best suited for adventurous souls, and we require a minimum stay of four nights.
We are happy to host respectful, conscientious, and good-vibe guests who appreciate nature, community, and the slower pace of island life.

Weekend Trip to Wahi Nanea Place of Relaxation
The cabin sat on a peaceful piece of property with a gorgeous view. The cabin was represented well by the description on the website. It was nothing fancy but met our need for a place to stay while visiting Haleakala National Park.

Alika’s land was perfect. The cabin was adorable and comfortable, and we really appreciated the hot shower and the clean flush toilets. The place was quiet, even with multiple other campers on site one of the nights we were there. Alika even put a cot in the cabin for our youngest, and we all had plenty of space. The solar lighting worked perfectly and the place was clearly marked with good location instructions for us to follow. We messaged the host with a question and they got back to us right away. And the stars! OMG. We used this as a base for hiking in the national Park and it exceeded all expectations. Would stay again and would recommend to friends!

Weekend Trip to Wahi Nanea Place of Relaxation
I had a wonderful peaceful experience. I received very thorough clear directions to the location prior to my arrival. My cabin was the perfect and cozy setup for my three night stay. I had everything I needed for a memorable stay on Alika’s land. If you love stargazing, this is thr place to see them all. If i return to Maui, I will most certainly book another stay on Alika’s Land.

We loved our stay at the cabins. Everything was clearly thought out and functional. We were grateful for them providing towels, beach towels, hand-soap, propane canisters, and extra blankets. The stars each night were incredible from the property and the picnic tables underneath the pavilion were a perfect place to have dinner. Having drinking water on site was a HUGE blessing! Things were clean and tidy and we would recommend this site to all.

The cabin was setup perfectly- I really admire the flawlessly configured light sensors and timers which made navigating in the dark easy yet as unobtrusive as possible. The shower setup was excellent and the area very quiet and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable and we slept great. Grandma’s cafe up the road has terrific food and coffee. Highly recommend this camp.

Truly wonderful for a romantic weekend getaway. Amenities are somewhat basic but we had everything we needed and more. It was a little cold in January, but we were provided extra blankets that made a big difference. Hosts were kind and made us feel welcome. We would stay here again!

Every once in a while you find a rare gem. That's was this was The location great - off the beaten path and away from crowds. The accommodations comfortable and clean. It didn't hurt that it also has a spectacular view. The icing on the cake for us was that it was virtually scent-free. We are very sensitive to many chemicals and scented products like dryer sheets and laundry detergent. Scented air fresheners are the absolute worst. I detected virtually none here. What a bonus! I will say that we were fortunate to have the whole campground to ourselves the entire stay and if there had been others thereat the same time, it would have felt too cramped and probably would have been too noisy since the cabins are right next to one another. We'd definitely stay here again as long as we could confirm that we'd have no "neighbors" in the other cabins.
