The interior is spacious and comfortable, allowing for an indoor seat to view the beautiful ocean landscape. It is a small and intimate venue, but it serves a cozy and breathtaking purpose. There is a small parking area 'across' the Estate, almost pushing up into the wooded/ green areas. The restrooms for guests are separate from the main building. They took care of all at the wedding, from bride to groom to parents to guests. The food is not the best, but it was sufficient. No one will choose this venue for the food over the view- it's the view! Lovely venue for that purpose, you'll be ecstatic.

It's an event-licensed venue but family-owned and private, so you'll need to use one of several different Maui wedding planners for more detailed information and booking. The house can easily serve as a beautiful stand-in stage if it rains, with ample space and guest bathrooms conveniently located directly outside the front entrance. It's in a residential area so there is very limited parking in front of the house, and while there are a few more parking spots across the street, it's actually easier to just taxi or shuttle your guests in at very reasonable rates (which is also safer if your celebrations include any alchoholic beverages). Regardless, the lush back lawn landscaping, running right up to the oceans' edge, anchored by the most incredible lava rocks! will just take your breath away. It was actually hard not to turn around and gaze during our ceremony, even harder not to bail on our guests and just sit out on the rocks while the sun slowly set. Stunning arena, awe-inspiring photographs, priceless memories ... I'd just as readily elope here in hindsight. Kukahiko Estate is truly the most magical venue ever!

The food and venue were both incredible. Their team kept us on track throughout the night and acted as pseudo- day of planners. The team was incredibly responsive and patient with us as we made decisions about food, timing, and other vendors. They provided advice and answered all questions we had to help us create the perfect experience for us for our intimate wedding. We appreciated that everything could be handled in house by the Heartbeet/Pu'uwai team. They handled the bartending, cake cutting, servers, cleanup, and joined in some of the dancing! Plus, the food was INCREDIBLE. We had two kids, under 10, who can be picky, but they ate everything on offer! A true testament to delicious options that were curated for our event. We opted for family style, for our small group, and an extra protein because we couldn't decide on just one! The family style serving option helped us all feel at home, we loved it. Pu'uwai Gardens held a beautiful backdrop for the evening, including the covered area for eating and dancing, that included cute lighting, and the build in covered bar- stunning. The land and tress were also beautiful, as was the view of the water. The Heartbeet/Pu'uwai team overdelivered for our day and we are so grateful to have chosen them to host our reception.

After we checked in, went to our room, we came back down to get dinner and the two staff were arguing again, it was a bit awkward to say the least. The staff the rest of our stay was very friendly, helpful and polite. The walkway to the private beach was great. We enjoyed our time at sunset listening to waves and birds. The restaurant has been closed for a while. There were no thermostats in the rooms, at night it gets pretty hot with the doors closed and no way to cool off, even with the fan. I couldn't sleep well the 4 nights we stayed. That's the only reason for the 3 star rating. The walls are soundproof, the windows are not. The locals cruise the Main Street at night with their music, hooting and having fun- I didn't mind, but if you're a light sleeper.

They surprised us with complimentary champagne for our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful touch. Every part of the service was excellent -- from the host to our server to the food runners. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and very on top of making sure we had everything we needed. Plates were cleared promptly, our table was kept tidy, and we never had to ask for anything twice. The drinks were also excellent. My husband had an Old Fashioned, and I had a dirty gin martini, and both were superb. The food recommendations were great, and everything we ordered was delicious. We started with the Caesar salad and shrimp cocktail. My husband had the surf and turf, and I had the macadamia nut-crusted fish. We finished with cheesecake and crème brûlée for dessert, and both were amazing. The location is beautiful as well. It's an incredible spot to watch the sunset with a gorgeous ocean view right next to the golf course, which made our anniversary dinner feel even more special. Between the food, cocktails, service, views, and thoughtful anniversary touches, we had such a memorable evening. We will definitely be coming back the next time we're in Maui.

Originally we were considering Starseed as a potential wedding venue with accommodations for our…read moreguests. While we ultimately had too many people to make that work, we knew from our first visit that we wanted this special property, and the wonderful people who steward it, to be part of our nuptial celebration. We ended up hosting our rehearsal dinner here in September 2022 and, my friends, it was absolutely magical. The property itself is stunning, with a gorgeous tree canopy and colorful blooms everywhere. There are plenty of great places for a golden hour photoshoot, which we took full advantage of! They waited patiently for us to finish our photos then ushered us to our tables, which were beautiful decorated with 'olena flowers from their garden. There were so many beautiful, special touches that went above and beyond our expectations. For example, when we arrived Chef Erika adorned my husband and I with ti leaf leis they had made for us. As we sat down for dinner Chef Erika gave a Hawaiian blessing and thanked the land for providing such a bounty for us to enjoy. The food, oh my goodness the food... it was SO GOOD!! I love that they source as much as possible from their own property and from other local farmers and ranchers. Everything was so fresh and prepared beautifully. Plus, they were able to accommodate my nephew's very severe nut and dairy allergy without any issues, which we all really appreciated. They let us bring our own wine for a very reasonable corkage fee and the bottle service was gracious and timely, with never an empty glass. They also nailed the timing of the dinner, we never felt rushed nor was there too much time between courses. It was just perfect! Everyone in our party was totally blown away. They were expecting the typical rehearsal dinner at a restaurant or something and this overdelivered in the best possible way. It felt so intimate and private, just what we wanted. We all still talk about what an amazing night it was. Jesse, Madeline, and Chef Erika were such wonderful hosts, and they were great to communicate with before the event via email too. The team here truly embodies the aloha spirit. We are so very grateful for the experience they curated for us on our special night. I highly recommend Starseed Ranch for any special occasion gathering you might be hosting!! Their property, their team, their food, their aloha, is second to none.

This place was absolutely dreamy and the staff was so kind. We stayed in the cottage and really loved the privacy it offered. We had our own spacious lanai to watch the sunrise each morning. Breakfast was delicious and fresh. They made special accommodations for us vegetarians which I greatly appreciated. Coffee was so good and the view from the dining table was breathtaking. As far as location, you're definitely a little off the beaten path which is what we wanted. There are some small shops and restaurants to walk to, but for the most part you'll probably be hopping in your car to head to the beach and busier parts of the island. Hawaii is meant to be explored, no matter what inn or hotel you decide to make your home base. But Holualoa Inn is truly magical and I'll never forget my time there.
