Haliimaile General Store, Maui

On the slopes of Haleakala, Maui, in the upcountry town of Haliimaile, there is a great world class restaurant. The owners have taken an old general store from the plantation era, and turned it into a fine dining establishment.

The owner, Bev Gannon, has created a really unique and interesting place to have a business lunch, or family dinner. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, with lots of nostalgic mementos from a time gone by. The old store shelves are filled with items that customers can purchase, in addition to their meals.

If you make it away from the resort areas, and experience this wonderful restaurant with it's country atmosphere, you will be very pleased. It's a scenic drive through upcountry and well worth the time. Neighboring towns are Paia and Makawao.
There are many more places to eat upcountry.
When you're in Haliimaile, you might notice that there are a few of the older camp homes for sale. These are some of the most affordable homes on Maui. There are usually 1 or 2 on the market, and they really appeal to home buyers who are looking for a fixer-upper. If you're one of those buyers and want more details on the Haliimaile market, please contact me. I can send you some listings and pictures.
Aloha from the quaint little plantation town of Haliimaile!
