Bamboo is Located on three-fourths acre of lush, tropical landscaping complete with waterfalls and ponds. You will feel as though you have stepped in to a Bamboo forest. Your upstairs unit is built above the owners' home, and has a separate entrance and a gorgeous view. No other vacationers will be sharing this property with you, but the owners, Bill and MaryEllen will probably be in residence downstairs
Bamboo is furnished tropical island-style with folk art and statuary from Bali, , ceiling fans, a jacuzzi in the yard, and a gorgeous view across the Kalihiwai River Valley .You will enjoy the peacefulness and sounds of the waterfalls, and still be within a stroll to Kalihiwai and Anini beaches, five minutes from world-class golf at Princeville, and a short drive to the ecletic shopping and dining in charming Hanalei Town. Wildlife viewing is nearby at Kilauea Lighthouse, as is a Thursday Farmers' Market.
Gardeners will love the dozens of orchids, heliconias, and bromeliads in Bamboo's garden and the relaxing sounds of the three waterfalls. Feeding the koi in the pond is lots of fun.
Watersports enthusiasts can windsurf at near- by Anini Beach, snorkel or scuba at Tunnels, kayak at Kalihiwai, go deep-sea fishing from Anini Beach or swimming and shelling at any number of close-by beaches.
There are flowers and fruit in the yard, and an outdoor shower, a gas barbecue,and a jacuzzi in a Balinese enclosure for your use in the garden. Beach chairs, towels, and ice chests are provided, as well as snorkel gear, bicycles, and double kayaks.
.There is a queen bed in the separate bedroom, and a double futon in the livingroom. Due to ponds and waterfall this property is not suitable for children.

We will be back to the Bamboo Cottage
Guest: Jerry W.
Date of Stay: 01/10/12

My first impression of the Bamboo Cottage was not based upon the cottage itself, but the spectacular panoramic view from the lanai and living room. The massive wall of Albizia trees in upward flight toward a green distant mountain ridge is an amazing and very memorable composition. You are in a jungle, and that is exactly where you want to be. My second impression was based upon the realization that, looking closer to home, I was in a garden of visual, auditory and tactile delights. That is exactly where you want to be – trust me. The cottage apartment is well appointed with upscale furnishings and is comfortable. The lanai beckons, and you will find yourself there often. The view from the bath and bedroom; well documented in other reviews, has to be experienced to be fully appreciated. The same goes for the waterfalls, Koi ponds and multicolor plants and other vegetation shown in the advertising photos. If you must leave paradise, three of the best beaches on the North Shore are just minutes away, with beach and snorkel equipment provided to you. The Princeville Center, with shops, restaurants and Foodland grocery (where you have a discount) is no more than a five minute drive. Hanalei town and beach is an additional five minutes away. I have read each of the other reviews of the Bamboo Cottage and I can add nothing new to the positive comments about our hosts and the property. I support them all. Serene, tranquil, relaxing, romantic and personal: That is how I would describe the Bamboo Cottage. Say hello to Jack the cat and the free range chickens if you rent the Bamboo Cottage.
Owner response:Wonderful guests-we enjoyed having them

My wife and I stayed here and we loved it. The cottage and the grounds were breathtaking. The peaceful garden and the bamboo rustling in the breeze at night outside our bedroom window were wonderful. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub. The owners Bill and MaryEllen were very accommodating without being too present. Close to Hanalei and all the North shore sights but an easy trip to the South or West side if it got rainy. Definitely recommend it.

Mary Ellen, We just got back this afternoon and are getting back to the real world. Booo! I want to let you know that we stayed in 4 different places on two different islands in Hawaii, and the Bamboo Cottage was absolutely our favorite! We loved your home and your non invasive hospitality. We also loved the north shore of Kauai the best out of all of the places we stayed.

I was out walking this morning and it reminded me of our wonderful stay at your home in February of 2010 (minus chickens running in the streets). We still think of you and beautiful Kauai. We've been traveling the beautiful U.S.A. in our 5th wheel trailer for 17 months. We did winter in Southeast Georgia on a house sitting arrangement. We've been coast to coast and border to border. We'll stay in a area until we've exhausted all there is to do and then try another area. Now in the finger lakes of N.Y. and loving it. We never heard how the trip to Australia was and I'm sure you've had many more travels since than. I can see and smell your beautiful home and gardens as I write this. We hope all is well with you.

We had the most wonderful time at the Bamboo cottage. WE loved the space. It was clean, comfortable and very nicely decorated. WE absolutely LOVED the location, looking out onto the mountains with the rich trees and plants, and Mary Ellen's garden made it feel like we were in Paradise. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub and enjoying the afternoon in this amazing landscape. Bill and Mary Ellen provided us with everything we needed, (loved the fresh eggs!) If we ever get to Kaua'i again I hope we can stay here. Thanks Mary Ellen and Bill.

We stayed at Bamboo for our honeymoon in March and it was perfect! Bill and Mary Ellen were very hospitable. They left us fresh eggs from their hens, lent kayaks and snorkel gear, and were genuinely welcoming. We were very pleased with our choice to stay there!

This is a wonderful vacation rental. The pictures do not do it justice. The views, plant life, flowers, and birds are gorgeous--and this is in the winter time. The apartment is decorated beautifully, and very well maintained. The bed is cozy. The bathtub has all the jets in the right place for a hiker. Hosts, Janie, Dave, and Jack (the cat) were excellent hosts. I felt like I had the place to myself mostly. It is very near Kalihiwai beach, Anini beach, and my favorite, Secret beach. Kiluea light house is also a lovely close-by attraction.

Bamboo Cottage was amazing! Being from the Pacific Northwest we really love our trees, and the view from our lanai of the lush tropical rainforest across the Kahiliwai River Valley was perfect for us! We enjoyed every meal with that magnificent view, watching the Myna birds and white cattle egrets fly across the expanse. It is so peaceful. Mary Ellen and Bill have landscaped their little bit of paradise to perfection and our comfortable apartment overlooked the scenery from every direction. Flowers and exotic plants abound everywhere! Imagine brushing your teeth in the morning and instead of a mirror in front of you, you gaze out on the little waterfall in the garden just below your window. For beachgoers Anini Beach is only a few minutes drive away, and the drive to Ke'e Beach and Tunnels for really great snorkeling is only about 30-40 minutes away. Stop in Hanalei at Wishing Well for the best shave ice on the island! The handy little market and shopping center in Princeville is only about 3 miles away for most anything you need, but don't miss the Farmer's Market - it opens at noon on Thursday. Lots of wonderful local produce! Buy your pineapple there - it is Ssssooo much better than from the grocery store. They had kayaks for our use and Bill helped us get one down to the river for a very relaxing afternoon paddle to a place where we could walk through the "jungles" of Kauai to see a waterfall. A very nice way to spend a few hours with no one else about. Maybe it was the time of year that we were there, but we saw no pesky bugs or mosquitos during our stay. I would call that a bonus! The location is not far from the road but very quiet and secluded. We found Bamboo Cottage to be the perfect destination for us on Kauai and we'll certainly be coming back again. Thanks very much to our hospitable hosts - especially Jack, their very friendly cat, who appreciated a good rub-down anytime we were outside. Mahalo and Aloha!
