Lani Oli Hale

location is great for a peaceful north shore vacation. beautiful grounds and views. there were some minor issues that if corrected would have made this a better stay (light bulbs out, cleaner windows to enjoy the views, not enough silverware, no general purpose cleaner for wiping off the counters). beds were great. host was friendly and communicated well.

Private area surrounding property in the jungle. Spectacular views and beautiful grounds. Full of beautiful plants and critters. Frogs geckos lizards and a variety of birds. Close to everything we were doing. Owner was very helpful with suggestions and guidance on what was near by.

Stunning! There's really no other way to describe this magical, incredibly well-kept and cared for home. The views out of the windows are incredible. The vibe is tranquil. The gardens are gorgeous. Tucked away down a dirt road, you feel remote and embedded in nature, but at the end of the street there's a lovely market for snacks and a yummy coffee shop, plus you're just 15 minutes outside of Hanalei. It was our first time on the island, so we had quite a few things that we wanted to see...but we left wishing we could have spent even more time just relaxing here! Dawn is such a kind and generous host. We hope to stay again someday!

Cell service is spotty even with WiFi so it’s a little hard to contact the host. Over all would recommend, very neat place to stay.

We had a wonderful day at Lani Oli Hale. Peaceful and quiet. The views from each window were beautiful and ever-changing, depending on the weather and the time of day.

Home and garden in the jungle of Wainiha Canyon were magical beyond words. A realHawaii wilderness experience. The host was friendly and helpful. No need to go anywhere else really, except maybe a nearby beach.

Loved the jungle setting!

Magical. Splendiferous. Serene. Spiritually grounding and resetting. Words can’t do this place justice; photos can’t do this place justice.Dawn (the host) was responsive, helpful and very hospitable. Can’t recommend enough!

Gorgeous home. Photos truly don’t do it justice. Very spacious and airy, beautiful views of the jungle. Quiet, just some minimal noise from the surrounding neighborhood but truly so serene. I’m so glad we stayed here rather than in Princeville or somewhere more crowded. This was a retreat at the end of each busy day. Steep climb up the hill to the entrance so be aware of this if you have limited mobility. We loved the ourdooor shower so much. The primary bed was VERY comfortable. No A/C was not an issue as there were many fans provided and the tradewinds really did cool down the space. Overall I can’t say enough good. Would definitely stay here again!

Dawn was an incredibly gracious host. Can't say enough about her warmth and kindness during, and after our stay! She has everything you need for going to the beach (chairs, coolers, umbrella, etc). The property is beautiful, a winding grassy path up the hill and (the most spectacular) views everywhere. Beds were very comfortable, all the linens and extras you'd need. Depending on the season, it can be hot during the day, but the evenings cool off nicely. The location was great for us, hiking Kalalau trail and visiting Tunnels and other beaches nearby. Wainiha Country Market right down the road and is a cute spot for a snack or shave ice -- but good to grab your groceries in Princeville or Lihu'e before coming. Thank you Dawn for a magical stay!

From the moment we drove up the hill the place was like a fairy tale. The house was tucked away from everything and all you could see were plants and all you could hear was the river and nature. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a nice secluded spot.

Such a wonderful house and spot. The house is elegantly furnished and had everything we needed, and the groundskeeper does a phenomenal job of maintaining the surrounding gardens. Very quiet location, but easy drive into Hanalei. Woke up to songbirds every morning. Dawn was great with checking in to make sure we had everything we needed and with providing recommendations for the area. Truly everything we'd hoped for.

Beautiful location in the Hawaiian jungle. The only noises at night are the wildlife and the water, making it a soothing and restful experience. The kitchen is spacious and easy to cook in. It is worth noting that there is no climate control -- which was unneeded on our visit as the river valley keeps things cool and temperate.We booked last minute as part of our Kaua'i exploration and found it to be a true oasis from the usual resorts and hotels available. A short 10 minutes to the Waipo shuttle stop for Hāʻena park, if you are unable to score one of the extremely limited parking passes. Dawn was a lovely host and very communicative about the small quirks of the property and very knowledgeable about the area.would love to stay again!
