You know what they say...It's all about location, right? Well our unique location and property was instrumental in River Estate being the only Kauai property to be included in the February 2006 issue of National Geographic Adventure Magazine as it's recommended accommodation on Kauai to set up your base camp while exploring the island. We're very proud of that. We've also been listed in Fodor's Guide, Lonely Planet Guide and the Los Angeles Times Travel Online Deals and recommendations section. The house and property seem to just grab your imagination and stay there. We have customers coming back year after year.
The Guest House is tastefully decorated with Balinese furniture and art and is immaculately maintained. It was completely renovated in 2006-7 and remains in like new condition. The meticulously maintained grounds sparkle with vibrant colors that will delight you senses. While in the home you can relax to the sound of the river gently washing over the moss covered stones in the stream. While at the house you can kick back and relax, cook up meals in the gourmet kitchen, check your email or any number of things. You'll hear the exotic bird calls of the Shama Thrush who never seem to be far away and you'll see the night fishing Grey Herons that live along the stream and make appearances all the time. You'll feel as one with nature here and you'll feel recharged as you head out each new day exploring the miracle that is North Kauai.
Our secluded hideaway is exceptionally private and casually elegant and is located on the grounds of River Estate which is a riverfront botanical garden between Hanalei and the northwest end of the island and a short distance upriver from Wainiha Beach.
