Gorgeous Bed & Breakfast We needed an overnight near the airport before checking in to our resort, and this spot was absolutely perfect. The room was clean and beautiful, the property was amazing, parking and access were easy, and there was delicious breakfast included in our stay. 10/10!

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.

We have been coming to Maui for years, but this is the first time we opted to stay at a smaller place rather than one of the big resorts. I would certainly recommend coming here instead of the big resorts. I think you get a wonderful sense of old Hawaii and have a chance to immerse yourself in real Hawaii.

Frequently asked questions

Are the Garden Suites on the ground floor?

Yes. All three Garden Suites sit on the ground floor of the historic inn, each opening onto its own private lanai surrounded by the estate's fragrant tropical plantings. The ground-floor setting means no stairs to your room — a draw for guests who'd rather skip the climb.

Can the Garden Suites connect for a family or small group?

They can. The ground-floor Garden Suites are built to combine — open the connecting doors and the Puakenikeni, Lehua, and Mele suites join into a three-room family suite, each keeping its own private lanai. It's the inn's best option for a family or small group traveling together, since every other suite is a self-contained one-bedroom for two.

Is there an accessible suite at The Historic Wailuku Inn?

Yes — the ground-floor Mele Suite is ADA-compliant, with a private patio and step-free access from the garden level. If accessibility is a priority, it's the suite to request.

Do the Garden Suites have private outdoor space?

Each Garden Suite has its own private lanai opening directly onto the inn's gardens. The plantings are intensely fragrant — tropical flowers like puakenikeni and pikake that several of the suites are named for — so the space feels like a private pocket of the estate rather than a shared patio.

How far are the Garden Suites from the airport and ʻĪao Valley?

The inn is centrally located in Wailuku, about 10–15 minutes from Kahului Airport and just a few miles from ʻĪao Valley State Park. Wailuku's historic Market Street, with its restaurants and shops, is within walking distance too.

Are the Garden Suites a good base for exploring Maui?

They work well for it. Wailuku's central position puts the south-shore beaches around 20–30 minutes away and the west side about 40–50 minutes, so a ground-floor suite with a private garden lanai makes a comfortable, quiet home base between day trips.
