) This easygoing guesthouse is Upcountry's top budget sleep. In the middle of
nowhere yet within an hour's drive of nearly everywhere, it's a good central base for ex-
ploring the whole island, and works well for catching the sunrise at Haleakalā. Rooms,
spotlessly clean, are small but comfortable, each with refrigerator and TV. There's a
guest kitchen and a hot tub.
If you need more space, there's a two-bedroom cottage (from $150).

) Chef Bev Gannon was one of the original
forces behind the Hawaii Regional Cuisine movement and a steady flow of in-the-know
diners beats a track to this tiny village to feast on her inspired creations. Tantalize your
taste buds with fusion fare like sashimi pizza or Kahlua pork enchilada pie. The atmo-
spheric plantation-era decor sets the mood.
Vegetarian menu is available at dinner.
