The Nahiku Treehouse

Answers to some frequently asked questions

There are several sleeping configurations depending on your needs. There is a sleeping loft that can sleep two adults (or kids). There are two single bed/day couch sleeping areas. There are also double wide fold out foam mattresses that can be put under the sleeping loft on the floor.  So depending on your needs one may suit you better than the others. There is mosquito netting for two of the sleeping areas. 

The platform deck on which the treehouse is situated is approximately 30 feet above the ground in a 75-foot Mango tree. 

There are no dangerous wild animals on Maui (except for the occasional cow, pig, horse or goat)

The entire deck area in the treehouse is approximately 750 square feet. 

The house is approximately 350 square feet. 

There are bathroom facilities located in a separate building at the base of the tree. 

The bathroom has hot (usually) and cold running water. There is a bath/shower, sink and flushing toilet.

There is no standard electricity in the treehouse. 

The deck has tiki torches for light at night. Candles are supplied for light in treehouse at night. You must bring your own flashlights for additional lighting. 

You must be in reasonably good physical shape to get to the treehouse, and up the treehouse stairs as well as up the ladder into the sleeping loft. 

The nearest place to buy food and drink is in Hana, about a 20 - 30 minute drive. Coffee/pastries are available at 6:00 am at the Nahiku Ti Café located just past mile marker 29 on the Hana highway. (About a 10-15 minute drive.) 

The closest emergency medical facilities are located in Hana, about a 20 to 30 minute drive. 

Cellular phone service is at best sketchy on the East Coast of Maui. 

Mosquito repellant is recommended. 

A 4WD vehicle is recommended - otherwise you will have to walk the last 100 yards to the treehouse.

Make no mistake, this is camping. Rainforest camping to be exact. Do not expect a 'mint on your pillow' at night.

There are one or two ice coolers at the treehouse. You may find it better logistically to bring your own and fill it up before you get there. 

Sleeping bags are a good idea, as well as a sweatshirt as it may get a little cold (65ish) at night. 

Mosquitoes and bugs are not nearly as bad as in Wisconsin during the summer months. (really) You will, however, find a new assortment of colorful critters (all harmless) at the treehouse. Gecko's, praying mantis, cane spiders, and other 'good' bugs will be there to stand gaurd against the other critters. 

The treehouse has a 'house cat' - (Goldie) that does a great job of keeping other varmints at bay too. He is very friendly toward humans.
