Hale 'O Bali (House of Bali) is an oceanfront, AUTHENTIC, Indonesian hardwood home located in north Kaneohe (Waikane). This unique, charming, and romantic home is perfect for a couple or small family. The high open beam ceilings are graced with Woven Bamboo (Bedeg). Your feet will stay cool on the Ceramic Tiles throughout the home. Although there is no air conditioning in this rustic home there are ceiling Fans in each room to help keep you cool and comfortable. Furnishings are all Indonesian Teak and Bamboo. The cozy Den holds the Deluxe Queen Futon sofabed where you can curl up for a great movie. The Spacious Bedroom has a kingbed and generous Wall to Wall Closet. For the kids or young at heart there is an alternative sleeping space up in the loft which is up a fixed ladder and generally not set up unless requested.
Enjoy the soothing sounds of the Waterfall from the Fish and Lily Pond just outside the Bedroom and Den. Enjoy a Full Kitchen with Granite Tile Countertop and Mahogany Cabinets. From the Kitchen and Sitting/Sunroom you can enjoy amazingly breathtaking Ocean AND Mountain views. Out on the large Sundeck take in the Sunrise over the Ocean Horizon and Spectacular Panoramic Views of the Koolau Mountains, Chinaman's Hat Island, and the turquoise and emerald hues of Kaneohe Bay. Stroll the One Acre Property to the Shoreline. The NONswimming beach here is beautiful, but is shallow for such a long way out and can be rocky also and so is not practical for swimming. The waters here are very protected. Many people enjoy boating and kayaking here.
Warning to those who might be allergic to cats as there is a very friendly outdoor,resident cat who loves to greet our guests!!!
If you are particularly noise sensitive Hale 'O Bali may not be for you. The house is just off of a sometimes busy road and there is some road noise audible from the house.
There are two Indonesian houses on the property. The large rambling deck wraps around the ocean side of both Hale 'O Bali and your host's house. Your privacy will be completely respected. Your host, Leilani and her family will strive to make your stay both delightful and memorable.

  Bruce and Pauline ,
  • Our stay at Hale 'O Bali was one of those rare experiences where reality meets or exceeds expectations. The home is spacious, light, airy, well-appointed and perfectly situated, with a clear view of the ocean and shoreline at the edge of the property. There's no beach but excellent beaches are just a few minutes away, as are stores, restaurants, and a range of tourist attractions - best of which is the Polynesian Cultural Center in L?'ie. Hale 'O Bali is a restful, welcoming place, away from the touristic concentrations on the other side of the Ko'olau mountains. Highly recommended!!

  • Truly, this was a rental that was beyond our dreams. The venue was exquisite, and the accomadations more than we expected. What you don't see on the website is the large master bedroom which made our day. The interior gives you a feeling of not only spaciousness but of an island. You know, what we all think about when we travel so far and want to get away. You have an ocean view and a mountain right at it's side. You have chickens and roosters walking over the place, but not intrusive, so what you have is the best of all worlds. Water, mountains and a taste of country. For anyone reading this and considering Hale "O Bali, consider your search done. This is the complete package.

  • My husband and I stayed at this beautiful retreat for our honeymoon this past June. I am so thankful that we stayed here rather than a hotel. It was wonderful to be able to do laundry and eat meals at home if we didn't feel like going out. The view in the backyard was breathtaking and it was very quiet. It is such a bargain compared to the overcrowded hotels in Waikiki. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone who stays on Oahu.

  • My husband and I stayed at this property in January. I could have never expected this rental to be so beautiful, clean and stocked. This is my number one vacation rental ever. I have recommended this to several people since we've returned to Texas. The sunrises are breathtaking from the sitting room with a wall of windows looking out to the sea (or from the deck just on the other side of those windows). The bed was large (king) and comfortable. The waterfall outside the bedroom was soothing. Everything we could have needed was exactly where I would have looked for it in my own home. One morning, make sure you wake up before sunrise and take your camera down to the edge of the water. Watch the sunrise and the beauty of the changing colors of the landscape to your left. This view made for one of the most beautiful pictures from my trip - and I have the 8x10 on my desk at work. People stop by all the time and ask where that picture was taken. Kailua is only about 15-20 minutes away and was my favorite town on Oahu. I recommend having breakfast at Cinnamon's and using the local outfitters for watersports. It's a big enough town to have access to everything you could need, but it's so much more "Hawaiian" to me than Honolulu. Closer to the rental, I recommend Haleiwa Joe's for dinner one night. Arrive before sunset, go in and put your name on the list for a table by the rail (if you haven't already made reservations, which you really should for a rail table) and ask how to get down to the Haiku garden. Take a stroll in this peaceful little garden where weddings often take place and then go back up to the restaurant for a dinner in a half open restaurant overlooking the garden with tiki lanterns lining the rail. It's beautiful..and also one of my favorite memories. Take in a few cocktails to help you feel the magic of this romantic place. I also recommend stopping at the Valley of the Temples one morning (better lighting conditions). It's a cemetary, but a most remarkable cemetary with a beautiful replica of a Japanese temple at the back. Both Haleiwa Joe's and the Valley of the Temples are within 5-10 minutes of Hale O' Bali (this vacation rental). I hope that we have the opportunity to return someday...and that we'll be able to have a more leisurely experience, enjoying these favorite things just a little longer. When I'm in a stressful situation and I need to close my eyes and think of a beautiful calming memory, this is the place that I dream of. I'd be happy to provide recommendations to anyone or answer any questions about my experience on Oahu or in this rental. Please e-mail me at michaela1k (at) msn. com. Michaela Dallas, TX

  • My mother and I spent a delightful 10 days at this vacation rental. Charlie and Leilani were both very helpful. This is a wonderful spot from which to sightsee in Honolulu or snorkel on the North Shore. The pond and waterfall outside of the bedroom window was very restful.

  • We arrived at night during a fleeting moment of absolutely clear sky. Being away from city lights finally, the brilliance of the stars was astounding. We were overwhelmed by what we found for our lodgings. (Although incidently we couldn't tell which house was ours so we woke up Charlie who kindly showed us to the right place) The loft scared us a bit as it had a very small mattress with soiled sheets and gecko droppings. Such relief to find the huge king size bed in pristine state. All beautiful. The only thing we were unhappy about after that was that the entire last day we were there yard work was being done at such deafening noise volume that we didn't feel able to stay. We were very unhappy with that. That being said, we found in to be an incredible vacation spot with totally unusual qualities that add to its beauty immensely.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    I am happy to know Kristen and Jay had an overall positive rating for Hale 'O Bali. The loft is generally kept in a semi closed condition when not in use. For parties of two like Kristen's the large bedroom is prepped for the new arrivals but the loft is left "dormant". The loft is cleaned and prepped for parties of 3 or 4 persons who may choose to use the sleeping loft as an alternative to the sleeping space in the den. So sorry about the yard men. We do try to schedule them when we have an open day without guests but sometimes that is difficult to juggle. Thankyou for your comments as we strive to make Hale 'O Bali the best of the best vacation rentals. Leilani Sim-Godbehere Hale 'O Bali Agent

  • We very much enjoyed our stay here. The house has everything you could need. The decor is very impressive and the home has many beautiful features, from the fish pond with waterfall, to the lovely deck overlooking the ocean. Our only wish is that our stay had been longer. I strongly recommend this home over a stay in Waikiki!! Many thanks from, Joan and Kevin Blacken Canandaigua, NY

  • We've stayed in many different condos throughout the Islands over the past 20 years --Hale O' Bali was the most well equipped and comfortable place we've visited. Our 7 days seemed as though we were actually residents of Hawaii (vs tourists). It's also located in the most beautiful part of Oahu; so green and lush. The sunrises are awesome!

  • We loved our stay at Hale O Bali! What a perfect location to homebase from. Kualoa Beach & Ranch (where Jurrasic Park was filmed) is less then 5 minutes away and other great attractions all over the island are within 20-45 minutes drive: Polynesian Cultural Center, North Shore (Banzai, Sunset and Waimea Beaches + Shark's Cove), Kailua Beach, Lanikai Beach, Blowhole, Hanauma Bay, Waikiki, etc, etc.... A nice restaurant close by is Haleiwa Joe's (ask Leilani for directions). Other fun places to eat include: Kua Aina Sandwich shop in Haleiwa on the North Shore and Cheeseburger in Paradise in Waikiki. We stayed for 8 days/7 nights and went all over the island. Leilani is a great host and the property is terrific!
