Experience the incredible beauty of the north shore at the Garden Cottage in Haena, Kauai, located in the heart of the most beautiful 10 miles of the island. We are close to Tunnels Beach, and set between 2 of the top 5 rated beaches on the islands. Kepuhi beach is 50 yards down the driveway; directly behind is lush jungle hillside, the border to 1000's of acres of private nature conservancy land. All tucked into a quiet, secluded, tree lined cul-de-sac.
The private, cozy cottage interior features a high open-beam ceiling, wood floors, and tropical décor, along with cooking facilities. Outside is a private shower with a spectacular view of the jungle, private deck, barbecue, tiki torches to enjoy the evening, and all the style of old Hawaii.
If you are seeking a Honeymoon hideaway or romantic getaway...The Garden Cottage honeymoon special includes complementary champagne and chocolate. Relax to the soothing sound of rolling surf, enjoy a bonfire on your private beach, and just minutes away is Hanalei with restaurants, dancing and entertainment. You can walk the beach the entire final 2 miles to Ke’e, where the road ends and the famous Napali coast begins. Or you can walk the beach just 300 yards to the Hanalei Colony Resort, for the only (award winning) restaurant and coffee house on this part of the island. Or just take our beach chairs and walk the few steps to the beach out front!

Dear Doug and Beverly-Thank you so much for our wonderful stay at the Garden Cottage. We really enjoyed snorkeling at Ke'e, tunnels and St. Regis Beach, visiting the lighthouse, farmer's market and the shops in Hanalei, hiking to the first beach on the NaPali coast, visiting the Lumahuli Gardens and still so much we didn't see. You have a beautiful and peaceful spot here in the "wilds" of Haena. Best wishes, John & Sandy Vanderwel Ricmond, BC Canada

We absolutely loved it here at the Garden Cottage! Patricia was great and so was everything else about our stay. Definitely wear bug spray when going outside though- those mosquitoes are killer! Thank you so much for a wonderful vacation! Ryan and Chrystal Bechtold Elizabethtown, PA

The Garden Cottage was just perfect. My husband & I had a wonderful week here in Kauai. We snorkeled, hiked Kalalau Trail (1st 2 miles), took a zodiac boat tour to NaPali, Kayaked the Wialua river to Secret Falls, relaxed, shopped and just loved being here. We also did the luau at the Sheridan in Poipu and loved it. Many wonderful things to see here. Thank You!Mike & Chris Krupansky PS Thanks special to Patricia!!

Thank you so much for our stay! We loved the shower and the nightly rain storms. Hiked the NaPali (go to the waterfall!!) and relaxed by the beach. Amazing snorkeling at Tunnels-but go early!! Mahalo Briant Ginny Vancouver, WA

Our two seek stay here at the Garden Cottage was exactly what we were looking for as a place to stay on our Honeymoon. We had plenty of time to explore the island and we are now sure that the North sore is the best! we have made many happy memories in Kauai that will remain with us forever. Some highlights & recommendations: Tour of Na Pali Coast with Kauai Sea Tours was great! Kayaking Snorkeling Waimea canyon, check out lookout at Kalalau Valley-very well worth it Couples massage at Hanalei Day Spa Good places to eat: Bakery in Hanalei Sushi in Ching Young Village Java Kai Shave Ice-Princeville Shopping-next to grocery store. Thanks for a great stay! Laura & David Ottawa/Toronto & Ontario Canada PS-good beach (our favorite) was Anini Beach. Also, Queen's Bath is very cool but don't attempt if not physically fir it is all muddy and steep climb on the way back up and very steep down as well but if you're up for it , it was very awesome. We wore flip-flops which were clearly the wrong footwear.

We loved the Garden Cottage & Kauai! The proximity to the beach and Tunnels for sunset was perfect. Our favorite was Kahalahala??-off at Lumahai Beach. Excellent. Loved the Na Pali Coast hike & the views off at Waimea Canyon. Outstanding. Also recommend a trip to Koipu falls in the south. Overall our stay here in Kauai has been wonderful. Thank you Patricia for your wonderful suggestions. All the best, David & Ericka Geary Vancouver, BC

Like the last couple, we spent the 1st part of our honeymoon in Maui. After 4 days there, we came to Kauai where we spent 2 days at a Bed & Breakfast on the south shore and then 4 days here in the Garden Cottage on the North Shore. I loved it all, but I think the romanticism of the Garden Cottage coupled with its awesome locale on the North Shore made it our favorite. Only complaints were the rooster and the mosquitoes (the latter were particularly unfun in the shower-ouch!) Still, this was a perfect honeymoon hideaway. We thought we'd be laying around the pool the whole time in Maui and then active here with all the hiking, etc. in Kauai, but we definitely caught the "Aloha" spirit of the north shore. Still, we did the Kalalau trail which was well worth it! Patricia is very helpful and we are glad we took her advice on both the Hanalai Gourmet and Mediterranean Gourmet - both delicious! M.G. is right down the street & they have live music & 1/2 priced bottle of wine on Wednesday night. It also has great views you can walk to a nice night (It was raining when we went, so we drove) Beaches: we went to Ke'e, Tunnels, Hideaway and would recommend all. Ke'e was the calmest for swimming/snorkeling, but Tunnels stays shallow further out and has better coral for snorkeling. Ke'e has beautiful sunsets. Hope you all enjoy it as much as we did. Thanks for opening up this fabulous little gem to us! Mahalo, Katy & Ken Washington DC

After spending the first half of our honeymoon in Maui, we came here for the last 5 days and fell in love with this island! The Garden Cottage has been absolutely perfect for us as well-what a great hideaway. Using the outdoor shower in the rain was especially amazing! We enjoyed the beaches in the area and sitting on the beach across the road at sunset drinking champagne. We went to the lighthouse in Kilauea and had fun exploring the area. Yesterday we went out on a catamaran to see the Na Pali Coast - so beautiful! Saw many dolphins (even some bottlenose dolphins which aren't as common in the area), snorkeled and enjoyed the beauty around us. Pricey but ery fun! Hiked a few miles on the Kalalau trail today, but very slippery when muddy. We loved every minute of our time here and will definitely be back! Thank you for such an amazing stay! Phil & Megan Martin San Diego, CA

we came for our honeymoon and I think we explored the entire island! Beautiful place! Rented scooters in Lihue and explored the waterfalls, fun, fun! We did the Na Pali tour off the North coast, it was great. Saw turtles and dolphins. Also ziplines in Princeville were fantastic! Did ATV tour and it was O.K. and not worth the money. Overall great time, cute cottage and got used to the roosters. Liked the outdoor shower but ready for a long bath and thank you so much! Sarah & Adam Huddart, Bend Or

We loved our stay here at the Garden Cottage! Absolutely beautiful-especially loved the outdoor shower! Lots of rain but the waterfalls coming down the mountains as a result were spectacular. Hiking the Kalalau Trail, kayaking on the Hanalei river were fantastic. Delicious breakfast at Wake Up Cafe (macadamia nut cinnamon rolls are to die for), fantastic dinner at Kalypso, drinks and great live music at Tahiti Nui. Thanks for all the special touches in the cottage-perfect for us! We're off to the South coast for the next couple of days, then back to NC. This island is beyond words, our first trip and definitely not our last. Thanks for everything. Holly Hallman & Mark Nippua, Salem & Raleigh, NC
