Hanalei Hale Ha Ha~Absolutely Amazing!
Submitted: November 13, 2012
Stayed: July 2012
Our family of 12 (7 adults and 5 children ages 10-17) stayed in Hanalei at Hale Ha Ha this summer for two weeks! We had been to Kauai in 1996 and loved the village of Hanalei so we knew we wanted to stay there again. We researched quite a bit to find a house that met our needs. When we found Hale Ha Ha, we knew this was the place for us. Our list of needs were: close to beach, beds for everyone, large kitchen so we could cook, affordable and with views. Little did we know it would also have some things not on our list, but things that made the house and our visit over the top...an outdoor shower, and art studio, a garden, enough bicycles for everyone, beach chairs, mats and toys for everyone, wraps in every room, comfy beds, recycling, homemade shampoo, TV's everywhere to watch the Olympics, a large table to fit the whole family for meals, contact for personal scuba diving instructor and surf instructor, walking distance from everything including the beach, farmer's market, coffee shop and health food store. Not only did Hale Ha Ha have everything we needed and more it was also beautiful. Each morning we arose to a light mist and a beautiful rainbow over the mountain views right outside our bedroom window. Each room is decorated with the perfect Hawaiian decor. Just a block away is the main "drag" for the village with shopping and opportunities to immerse yourself in the culture. A block away going the other direction is the road that leads to the beach and beautiful Hanalei pier. This was probably my favorite part of the house's location. Each morning I would take a short jog or bicycle ride down the road to the pier and beach. The morning views are breathtaking (as it is any time of the day). The house is closest to Hanalei Bay which was probably our favorite beach on the island, but it is also just a short drive to any of the other local beaches. Princeville is just up the road where we went on a zipline adventure. I would also like to mention Susan, the home owner. She went above and beyond to care for our needs during our stay and it is obvious she loves her home because the upkeep of it is meticulous. I would recommend this home and location for anyone and any age. I hope we can go back some day!
