HALE KOKIO: REVIEWS

This native flower is a pink hibiscus, called Hale Kokio, or House of Hibiscus.

  Our guests love Hale Kokio. We appreciate their sharing of favorites        and features of Hale Kokio and  beauty of the North Shore of Kauai.        This is the spirit of Aloha that you find on this amazing little island.​

                                                                                                    10/10   Hale Kokio No Ka 'oi

This property is heavenly with fruit trees, flowers, palms and lots of friendly chickens. It's a great location that's quiet and private, yet a short distance to Kilauea, Hanalei and beautiful beaches. Our host Rob was helpful but not the least bit intrusive. The Hale is clean, airy and bright with a well-equipped kitchen and a lovely lanai. Perfect for a couple or single person.

Peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. This is a wonderful place to stay to unwind. It's impossible to be here without totally relaxing and enjoy the peace tranquility of the property. The house is equipped with everything you will need. It's a ideal location to do day trips to explore this amazing island. Host is extremely helpful and made the the check in/out very simple.

We had a great stay. The private garden/park around the cottage exceeded expectations. The cottage was clean and well stocked. We appreciated having beach chairs and beach towels. It’s nice to be away from the tourist crowds but a very short drive from restaurants in Kilauea and fantastic beaches. Bring some earplugs because the roosters will crow around the clock (but I don’t think you can avoid that anywhere in Kauai).

Very clean, cozy cottage in a quiet neighborhood, close to nice   shops and eateries. Well appointed and thoughtfully laid out. Great place to decompress after being inundated with tourists everywhere all day. More authentic Hawaiian experience being surrounded by 2 acres of lush gardens and fruit trees. We much prefer to be woken by the roosters crow and listen to the sounds of the rain and birds, etc. on the property, instead of resort accommodations.

                                                  Place is very well taken care of, and it’s completely secluded!

                                             We loved it and couldn’t think of a better place to spend our honeymoon.

The home and property are beautiful. The cottage has windows all around bringing in the wind, sound of rain, bird song and all the rooster friends. Sitting on the lanai and soaking in the hot tub was lovely. We look forward to returning!              Maholo and Aloha

The house nestled amongst tropical plants in a grassy yard, and that is surrounded by trees. It gives the feeling of seclusion and, for someone who was visiting for the first time, a view of the flora and fauna from the comforts of a deck or window. We were too caught up in enjoying the ambience to even jump in the hottub. Each night we would shut off the lights and listen to the quiet chirping of the geckos. As we drifted off to sleep. Each morning the master bed was bathed in the golden light of the rising sun. Gentle rain would patter through the leaves and on the roof for a few minutes. It is a very relaxing environment, from walking the property with a cup of coffee and personable chickens, to listening to the evening breeze through the trees. It was a very refreshing stay and we are very grateful for the hospitality.

The house is beautiful and very private, walk to the yard and get some fruit off the tree. My wife made friends with the chickens that are everywhere on Kauai. Talked with the neighbor Rob almost every day. Thinking about going back soon!

The interior was very comfortable and clean. The owner lived nearby, and was always willing to help make her stay more comfortable. We will certainly consider this cottage again for a future visit.

                                                                                           DAWSON  G    JUNE, 2023                                                                                            My wife and I stayed here 11 days for our honeymoon and had an AMAZING experience!

              We felt like  were in the Garden of Eden as we walked around the property there were so many                         different kinds of fruit growing! I

            The cottage is the perfect size for two, and WAY better than a hotel or resort. We mostly cooked a                  and enjoyed eating  out on the lovely lanai. The great location too, just 20 minutes from Hanalei (                    the tourist hub of the north shore). The nearest town is Kilauea, which is way less touristy, which                     we enjoyed. The chickens are loud and will wake all but the heaviest sleepers, part of Kauai.                           All in all, GREAT experience and would absolutely use this spot again.

                The privacy and seclusion of the property gave a feel of our own Vacasa! The cozy cottage was                        more than sufficient for our two week stay and we enjoyed every moment of our time there. Best                  vacay in my 51 years….👊👍❤️
