Location: Wainiha, North Kauai, Kauai, Hawaii, USA
Accommodations: House, 1 Bedroom + Loft, 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
Tucked away on over an acre of lush paradise along the Wainiha Stream in a grove of 100 ft. tall mango trees lies the "Hale Wainiha" (Wainiha Cottage). Offering privacy, rest and refreshment, this charming home overlooks a gorgeous view of the river valley with neighboring taro farm and spectacular vistas of distant mountains. The large yard meanders down to 200' of private stream, feel free to take a refreshing dip. This lush valley is a serene retreat, nourishing the soul with nature’s greatest beauty while offering the modern comforts of home and convenience to all the island's best activities, the perfect spot for your romantic adventure holiday.
The house is centrally located on Kauai’s majestically beautiful north shore between Hanalei and the Napali Coast. Within a couple of miles are four of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Closest is Lumaha’i Beach with its long deep stretches of soft sand broken by picturesque protrusions of lava rocks creating dramatic ocean breaks. Tunnels beach has an amazing reef and offers the best snorkeling on the island, also surfing and amazing views. At the end of the road is dramatic Ke’e beach. Besides it’s great snorkeling, this is the gateway to the Napali Coast offering many spectacular hikes. Just 5 miles away is Hanalei Bay with its pristine beaches and perfect surf. The quaint town of Hanalei offers interesting shops and world class dining. My personal favorites are Baracuda and the Dolphin. You can rent Kayaks up the Hanalei River, go horseback riding on the Princeville Ranch, take a yoga class or just relax on a private beach. You’ll never have to leave this magical corner of the island.
