Old school authentic Kauai experience among beautiful trees and stunning mountains. A friendly and caring staff that cannot wait to help you plan each day of your trip. Sit back and enjoy a delicious continental breakfast with roosters, chickens, peacocks and cats. Borrow towels, snorkels, fins and beach chairs and head out to experience all that Kauai has to offer! Aloha!

Staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was clean, bed very comfortable, bathroom very nice. Pool was average but the pool deck and chairs were most welcome. Breakfast was filling and the 24 hr coffee is most appreciated. Quite a different experience sharing one’s breakfast with chickens and peacocks. Could do without the roosters however.

Such a lovely spot! Felt very local and genuine. The staff were so kind and helpful. The surrounding scenery was beautiful and the grounds were so well kept. They played Hawaiian music by the pool all day which really set the vibe. The continental breakfast was convenient - and they served fresh picked oranges from their property apparently. Accessible location. Will be staying here again when we visit Kauai!

Just an incredible setting. The place looked so adorable. The rooms were a bit older, but clean. The walls were thin, so loud, the breakfast was surreally beautiful setting. You need to know what you are getting, which is a older, quaint place that is just set in an amazingly beautiful location. We'd visit again for sure.
