Hale Kua Kauai Bed and Breakfast — Hotel in Kauai

The best thing about the property would be its rainforest location. I would highly recommend it if you want to experience the Hawaiian rainforest. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai, sipping our wine or coffee, and hearing all of the rainforest sounds.||||I found the website a bit lacking in the room information so I will share the following: the "Cottage" is behind the main house, the Gardenia Unit is within the main house. The Banana Patch and Taro units (which appear to be identical) and the Coral Tree unit are all in the same building and are accessed via a different drive way than the main house (look for "A" versus "E"). I only mention this in case anyone (like us) arrives late and somehow misses the welcoming orientation by the hosts.||||Even though it was very dark when we arrived we had no problem finding the location using the map provided (and driving very slowly). Driving a typical rental car we did scrape the bottom of the car on the road leading up the property (when coming down) at first but we learned how to maneuver to avoid this.||||The Banana Patch unit does have a full size refrigerator and microwave. However, it does not have a full size range. It does have a toaster oven and portable countertop burners.||||The Banana Patch unit is right next to the Taro Patch unit but the way the veranda/lanai is laid out it is still very private.||||Our unit had everything that we needed for a comfy stay. We definitely would look into staying again if...

We stayed with Bill at Hale Kua for 6 nights on an anniversary trip. We were in the newer Mango unit which is attached to the front of the house with its own private entrance. The unit was set up as a little apartment with a living room with stocked kitchenette, bathroom, and good-sized bedroom. The apartment was very clean and you could tell there was pride taken in the details. There wasn't breakfast provided, but the kitchenette had a coffeemaker, toaster, and dishes which worked for us. There was assigned parking which meant you always had a place to park. The room had beach towels, and books about the island on hiking, wild life, and sea life. Many homes on the island don't have air conditioning but it wasn't needed here as the mountain provided a cooler elevation and a nice breeze at night. Bill was friendly when we saw him, but the unit felt very private and all at the house mostly kept to ourselves. We only saw other tenants once during our stay. I will caution that the road up to the house is a bit rough (and the house hard to find in the dark), but you get used to it. The room was very affordable for Kauai and value was great since it was clean and secluded. Would definitely...

The Hale Kua is a wonderful cottage in a quiet part of south Kauai. It is situated on hill amongst beautiful trees and lush plants. To access Hale Kua, you go north on Kua road (easy to find because of traffic light on Hwy 50) a bit less than a mile. Overall it is about 3.5 miles from the ocean but it is not likely you will see the ocean from the cottages. Instead you will see trees, plants, flowers and birds. It is quiet except for the roosters which you hear occasionally through the night. We found it a very beautiful relaxing home base while exploring Kauai. The Coral Tree was very open and roomy - exceeding the internet photos. The Hale Kua is a good point from which to explore southern Kauai - Waimea, Poipu, Kipu Ranch, Lihue, Hanapepe, Capn' Andy boat rides, etc. We also took a drive the far north. 3 bed rooms plus a loft allow room for many, though parking is rather limited. Mosquitos are around and the roosters are annoying. This will be our first choice for annual...
