Tucked away on over an acre of lush paradise along the Wainiha Stream in an ancient grove of 100 ft. tall mango trees lies the Hale Wainiha. Offering privacy, rest and refreshment, this charming home sits on a bluff overlooking an expansive view of the entire river valley with neighboring taro farm and spectacular vistas of distant mountains. Relax and enjoy the amazing views from the deck or from your private pool and hot tub. Starry nights in the hot tub are truly magical. And the pool is cool and refreshing after a hot day at the beach. Or the perfect morning wake up. The large yard is like a botanical garden filled with exotic birds and flowers and fruit trees. Pick a Papaya or a Banana, cut some giant Heliconia flowers. This lush valley is a serene retreat, nourishing the soul with natures greatest beauty while offering all the modern comforts of home, you almost won't want to leave the property. But when you do, it is ridiculously close to the best beaches on the island, Tunnels, Lumahai, Ke'e and Hanalei. Firstly, Lumaha'i, just 1 mile away, 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 the mountain backdrop creates amazing views. At the end of the road is the dramatic Ke'e beach. Besides its great snorkeling, and sunsets, this is the gateway to the amazing Napali Coast offering one of the worlds most spectacular hikes. The 2 mile hike to Hanakapia'i Beach with it's expansive ocean vistas is a 'must do', but if you can do the additional 2 miles to the Hanakapia'i Falls you're in for the treat of a lifetime. A large pool fed by a 300' waterfall, just spectacular!! Wainiha is surrounded by the best snorkeling, surfing, kayaking and hiking on all of the Hawaiian islands. You'll never have to leave this magical corner of the island.
Just 4 miles away is Hanalei Bay with its pristine 3 mile crescent beach of fine sand and perfect surf. The quaint town of Hanalei offers interesting shops, a market, and world class dining. My personal favorites are 'Tahiti Nui' (live music, good Mai Tais) and the 'Dolphin' (freshest sushi you've ever eaten). You can rent kayaks and paddle up the Hanalei river or out to the bay, paddle to Hideaways beach and snorkel, or just land at the St. Regis beach and have lunch at the poolside cafe, (sneak a dip in their beautiful pool). Also you can go Horseback Riding or Ziplining at the Princeville Ranch, or take the amazing Helicoptor ride from the Princeville Heliport. Or do it my way, just take a book and relax on a quiet beach. You'll have your private paradise waiting for your every day when you're ready to go home.

Please Note:
The Hale Wainiha is located in a Tsunami evacuation zone. After confirming your booking a PDF with the evacuation procedure in the event of a tsunami will be provided to you.

    Worst stay ever. Our biggest regret of our vacation was booking this place. First of all, it was not clean, there was literally hair in the drawer with the eating utensils. And the towels had the most terrible odor, like so gross. And the location is TERRIBLE. It’s the most rainy area on the island, poured down the entire time. Rained so hard they closed the Hanalei bridge which means you’re stranded. We missed our luau because we were stuck on that side bored out of our minds in the pouring rain. Due to the rain we never got to enjoy the pool either. Also it’s not as advertised, there wasn’t any fruit to pick...We were wishing we had just stayed on the south side the entire time, we had a great time there, better weather, and most of the activities are located there. If you really want north side maybe princeville area just make sure you’re on the other side of the bridge. Waniha is a terrible terrible place to stay. We actually checked out a little early to a hotel on south side for a good last day when the bridge opened. Such a waste of our last few days just sitting at home in the rain & flash flooding :(

    My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon for a whole week. It is such a peaceful environment, and is very close to the beaches. It is in a more rural area of the island, so you can see the stars super clearly at night. Some people complained of the chickens making too much noise, but we didn’t find that to be a problem. The yard is super private, and you’re about 98% out of view of your neighbors.

    Wonderful little hideaway nestled among the forest with spectacular views of the mountains! If you want remote / away from the touristy parts of Kauai, this is a great option.

    The place is perfect, we stayed here for a mini honeymoon and absolutely loved the place. Stunning and beautiful. Only issue we had is that to get the hot tub hot enough you have to turn on the jets and past a certain hour the neighbor will come over and kindly ask you to turn it off. If you could heat it without the jet sounds ?

    Jeffrey gave the wrong address on the check in instructions so we got off to a bad start. Although surrounded by dense jungle, the neighbors are actually extremely close and can be easily heard. A dog unexpectedly spent the day at the cottage, blocking the front door. The pool and spa did not look appealing at all. Overall, the cottage is quite rustic but has all the amenities you would likely need. The fridge is small and missing shelves but functioning. The view from the deck is surreal and a pleasant place to sit and sip cocktails. The nearby beaches were great as was the close proximity to fabulous hikes. We appreciated Jeffrey's detailed recommendations.

    Jeffrey's Hale Wainiha was the perfect home base for us to explore the North Coast and is a cozy, comfortable hideaway tucked back in the hills of the Wainiha Valley. The house is modernly appointed and has everything you need - a stocked kitchen, gas bbq, pool, hot tub, outdoor tables and loungers, plus gear to enjoy the beach. All you need is a car and you're set. We bought fresh fish in Hanalei at the Dolphin and fresh veggies and fruit from the farmers market and cooked most meals at the house. Jeffrey also provides an extensive list of dining and adventure options that you'll want to research before you leave so you can take advantage of them all. The views from the house and decks are astonishingly beautiful. You'll feel like you're a million miles away from everything, but it's only a quick trip over the quaint single-lane bridges into Hanalei for shops, restaurants, and a fabulous farmers' market. The house also puts you in easy driving of some of the most beautiful beaches on the island, not to mention Ha'ena Park and the not-to-be-missed hike to the beach and waterfall. Thank you, Jeffrey, for sharing your incredible Hale Wainiha with us - we had a delightful time and hope to come staty again in the future.

    Easily the best property we've ever stayed at. Not only is the exterior breathtaking, the interior is super spacious & modernly updated. Only advice I'd give is to try & arrive before the sun goes down, as the drive in can be tough in the dark. Highly recommend for a couple's getaway.

    I can't recommend this property enough. VRBO can be difficult to tell if the pictures are accurate, but this property definitely delivers on ALL promises and more. If you're looking for a quiet, private little getaway spot, this is it.
