The property was spectacular. It was so magical and well-kept. I would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat.
Historic house with lot of charm. We felt like at home. Good local products for the breakfast.
This is a beautifully renovated historic property. The common spaces feel like home and the outside space is an oasis very close to the center of town. The new innkeepers were very friendly and helpful when we had any questions.
We enjoyed the room very much! It’s perfect size confortable and very clean!Josie
Perfect stay! Positives: Lovely! Everything was thought of to make a perfect stay from ease of check-in to beach towels & snacks. The room was elegant and peaceful. Meticulous grounds and beautiful gardens. I used the lovely desk in the downstairs living room as my office. Perfect spot to get some work done and even hop on a meeting. My daughter and I already plan to return and make this our go to spot in Maui.
It's hard to find accommodations with any real Maui charm these days, but this is one! A luxurious experience with the feel of old Hawaii. I would choose this over the resorts any day.
So stunning. If I ever come back to Maui would definitely re book only here. Super clean, decorated very well, felt very safe as I traveled on my own & the garden and patio and sunroom cafe were such a nice unexpected bonus. Thank you
I stayed in the Hinano suite for seven nights recently and thoroughly enjoyed it! The bed was very comfortable, the room was private and quiet. The upstairs dining and living areas, as well as the covered lanais, in the main house provided a nice place to sit and enjoy coffee, fruit and toast that was provided by the hosts. The property is lush and well maintained with adequate parking. I highly recommend the Inn and will definitely return the next time I come to visit my family in Wailuku; I found my new Maui "home". Thank you!
Frequently asked questions
How far is The Historic Wailuku Inn from Kahului Airport?
Wailuku sits just inland from Kahului, so the drive from Kahului Airport (OGG) is only about 10–15 minutes. That central location is a big part of the inn's appeal — you're a short hop from the airport but tucked into a quiet historic town rather than a resort strip.
Is Wailuku a good base for exploring Maui?
Yes — Wailuku sits in central Maui, which makes it one of the most balanced places to stay if you want to see the whole island. Kihei and the south-shore beaches are roughly 20–30 minutes south, Lahaina and Kāʻanapali about 40–50 minutes west, and the drives up to Haleakalā or out toward Hāna both start close by.
Do I need a rental car to stay at the inn?
Plan on it. Wailuku's historic Market Street — restaurants, coffee, and shops — is walkable from the inn, but Maui's beaches, parks, and scenic drives are spread across the island with limited public transit, so most guests pick up a car at the airport.
What's near the inn in Wailuku?
You're within walking distance of Wailuku's historic downtown, and ʻĪao Valley State Park — home of the famous ʻĪao Needle — is only a few miles up the road, about 10 minutes away. The town's monthly First Friday street party and a cluster of local eateries and galleries are all close by.
Is there a beach near The Historic Wailuku Inn?
Wailuku itself is a hillside town rather than a beach town, so you won't walk to the sand — but you're not far. Kanaha Beach, popular with windsurfers, is about 15 minutes toward the coast, and the calm swimming beaches around Kihei are roughly a half-hour drive south.
Which suite should I choose at The Historic Wailuku Inn?
All ten suites sleep two and share the same restored 1924 estate, so the choice comes down to floor and feel. The four Veranda Suites wrap a shared living room on the upper veranda floor, while the three ground-floor Garden Suites open onto private garden lanai and can connect into a family suite. Among those, the Mele Suite is ADA-accessible, and couples after an intimate base often choose the Romantic Maui Hideaway.
What is there to do near Wailuku besides going to the beach?
Plenty. ʻĪao Valley's lush hiking trails are minutes away, the historic Market Street district has galleries and Maui-grown coffee, and central Wailuku is the natural launch point for the sunrise drive up Haleakalā — about 1.5–2 hours to the summit — or the winding Road to Hāna.
