This was our first time in Kauaii. Staying in the River Cottage just added that special touch to our visit. We felt right at home and can not wait to come back and stay here again. Thanks for making our visit most pleasureable! I recommend this to everyone.

This was our second trip to Kauai. The first time we stayed more towards the west side, this was much more convenient. Our stay was at the end of June 08. We had a group of 14 and the use of all the cottages. We stayed in this cottage and what a wonderful experience. The whole resort is beautiful. To have all the beach accessories available was great. I would definately recomend this resort and this cottage to everyone.

April 2007 was the first time we visited beautiful Kauai...at the first moment it was sure: we will come back again...so we did for our wedding in June 2008 . We decided to rent a cottage....Fern Grotto Inn was the perfect location because we married at the Coco Palms which is just across the street, the beach and the Wailua river are just steps away and it is the perfect place to reach any Kauai destination. The River Cottage is very beautiful and cozy with everything you need to feel like home. The garden is a breathtaking beauty with the singing of the birds and the smell from lovely blooming flowers it makes Fern Grotto Inn a piece of paradise on the most beautiful island we have ever seen. We really enjoyed our stay. Mahalo for your hospitality.Colette and DetlevHolm, Germany

My boyfriend and I stayed at Fern Grotto Inn for a short getaway while he was on leave from the Army. We had a fabulous time and truly enjoyed the cottage. It was very cozy and clean. It had everything we needed plus some! Paul and Nasheen were wonderful and have great recommendations for the island. Can't wait to go back! Thanks! Kayla and Bob

The location is perfect. Everything was better than we imagined. The price was right. I would definitely use the Fern Grotto Inn as a home base for any Kauai destination. In the future. Paul and Nausheen did an excellent job on the landscaping. The room was clean and if we needed anything Paul was very accessable. The nicest touch was that Paul brought us champagne at my father's request as it was our honeymoon. Thanks again for everything.

Thank you so much for a experience of a lifetime! We loved Kauai but your hospitality made it more wonderful. Your cottages are clean, neat and located at the right spot on the island. It is the best 'home' feeling you're ever gonna get!Hopefully we are able to come back!Cheers,Twan & Sanne

Paul and Nausheen - What a wonderful time we had in the River Cottage. It was all we needed and hoped for. It was calm, clean and made us feel like home. The garden like atmosphere of the grounds made us not want to leave and all within walking distance to the beach where each morning we watched the sunrise and the whales play. Mahalo again for sharing your corner of paradise with us. We are planning our next visit and will include the Fern Grotto Inn and the River Cottage in that stay also. Larry and Dianna

I organized the trip for my husband and I and two of my best friends and their spouses in Kapaa for a mutual friend's wedding. Wow did we make the right choice! Staying at the Fern Grotto Inn was perfect for our group of 6 adults. We each were able to have our own bedroom and bathroom giving the perfect amount of privacy & personal space. The home was tastefully decorated and perfectly accommodating. We loved having the washer and dryer and the free WIFI to stay connected to home. Thanks Paul! Our gracious hosts, Paul and Nausheen were wonderful. Prior to our arrival, they converted the two twins to a king for one of our couples. When we inquired about boogie boards, they realized they were "running low" and went immediately to purchase some for our recreation. It made for many fun days at the beautiful Kauai beaches! We would definitely love to return to the Ohana house or another one of their houses. P.S. Their boy and girl toddlers are also the cutest things I've ever seen.:)

Our family (six adults) had the most wonderful time staying in Ohana House. The separated bedrooms gave us privacy when we wanted it, and the fabulous "community room" (kitchen/dining area) provided a great area for us all to hang out together. The home is wonderfully appointed with great attention to details. You truly feel like you are in your own Hawaiian home. The central location of the property in relation to the rest of the island makes it convenient to see the many splendors Kaua'i has to offer. Paul, Nausheen and their adorable twins are wonderful hosts. We will definitely be coming back!

We stayed a week in the River Cottage. Nausheen and Paul have done a wonderful job at making this a welcoming and peaceful retreat. It was romantic, restful and overall absoultely wonderful. It's a great central location for exploring the island. We will be back, and we're telling anyone who listens that they must come and stay at the Fern Grotto Inn. Mahalo!!

Nausheen and Paul,I have stayed here at the River Cottage twice. It is one of the most beautiful little cottages I have ever experienced. What a great job of decorating to make it so Hawaiian and so cozy. We really appreciated how nice the two of you are and how close to the ocean our cottage was. We will definately use your place again, and recommend it to others. Thanks again for a great stay! Linn and Cardell Smith

We love everything about this cottage & of course about Kauai. The cottage is so nicely appointed & tasteful. We are seriously considering coming back, if possible, for a month some other summer.

We have been in Hawaii for 2 weeks. 1 week for our wedding in Waikiki, and 1 week in Kauai for the honeymoon. By far our stay in the River cottage was the best. It is private, romantic and comfy. My wife & I have been on many vacations & stayed in many places. THIS PLACE WAS PERFECT.

Paul & Nausheen have created the only paradise that truly is real - kindness, caring & sharing. Wherever we go we'll remember Kauai as the place where we had a home & a family. This has been the best place we have ever stayed.

We are so glad we stayed here! It was wonderful to come back here after a day of activities & relax near the calm of the River. After visiting Poipu, we were thankful to be away from the tourists at the end of the day. Thanks to Paul & Nausheen, we were able to hunker down with the real local vibe and enjoy our holiday. If we are in Kauai again, will be sure to check in with this nice family.MahaloSean Corberry
