This place gets away from it all. Beautiful view. peaceful gardens. Lots of birds. Tropical paradise. Beaches on north shore are magnificent. wish we had stayed longer. Only one hour from honolulu. Great food in Haliewa. Only drawback was driving on the only road to Haliewa on weekends could be a bear at times. Beach at Waimea bay is perfect. See Waimea Valley, the Heaiu, turtle beach. Polynesian Cultural Center is a short drive. Shrimp trucks on northern point are great.

I definitely recommend staying here. The garden is almost unreal it's so beautiful; the views from the balcony are breathtaking, and Shark's Cove (just down the street) is full of the most amazing fish -- who could care less that you're swimming just inches from them. The pipeline is only minutes away, and it's worth popping over just to watch a few minutes of surfing. There's also a grocery store at the bottom of the hill -- so you can save a little money by not having to eat out for every meal. Only thing to be aware of -- if you're going to try to sleep in late, you might want to bring ear plugs or something. Personally, I thought it was nice to wake up with the sunrise and to the sounds of the birds (even some roosters crowing), but if you're a sleep-til-noon vacationer, you'll probably have to do something to block them out. Don't forget to account for your time difference though! For us, waking up at sunrise was almost the same as sleeping til noon!

Ka Hale Huna is beautiful and peaceful, just what we needed to come back to at the end of each busy day. Char and Chris are wonderful hosts, friendly and helpful. We would recommend Ka Hale Huna to anyone looking for a place to stay on the North Shore. It's clean, close to all amenities and the beach yet quiet and serene. We loved our stay!

Ka Hale Huna was the perfect place for our honeymoon! There was an absolutely beautiful view from the rental property. Char was a splendid hostess. It was always nice to come home and see her. She had great suggestions and directions to get us from here to there too. Thanks to Char we found one of the Lost sets and the same day we saw Terry O'Quinn (John Locke) out and about! We are major Lost fans so this was very cool. The room was very clean & comfortable, perfect for those lazy mornings. I would love to take home the bed & pillows. Char's gardens are breath taking along with the awesome fruit/bread/coffee basket she had waiting for us. I LOVE the passion fruit jelly and cannot stop thinking about it. Overall, we couldn't ask for a better experience. Char and the rental property definitely influenced our outlook on Hawaii and the laid back culture of the north shore. We recommend this place through and through to anybody. We cannot thank Char enough for her hospitality and opening her beautiful home to us. Mahalo & aloha!

Just returned home from our stay at Ka Hale Huna in Oahu's North Shore. We were 100% satisfied and had a wonderful time. The rental was exceptionally clean and tidy with spectacular views. We couldn't feel more relaxed. If you are looking for your own little hideaway to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life than this is for you! Char's garden and grounds were beautiful and interesting for us to explore given that we come from the east coast. We admire Char and Chris for being able to call Ka Hale Huna home and feel blessed for being able to call it our home for the last 5 days. Would definately return again!

We have nothing but good things to say about our stay at Ka Hale Huna. The place was clean and well kept, the daily fresh fruit from Char's garden was just amazing and I felt like waking up in paradise every morning when I woke up to birds, roosters crowing. My husband enjoyed grilling out on vacation; the grocery store is just minutes away.
Wonderful beaches are nearby such as Turtle Bay (public access although a resort is there) invite to snorkeling and we watched surfers and sunsets, turtles, and seals, all within 10-15 minutes of driving from the perfect getaway.
A trip to Honolulu and the famous Waikiki beach made me realize just how fortunate we were to stay away from overcrowded beaches and hotel after hotel. Instead, we truly experienced paradise. Char and Chris were wonderful hosts, we called them many times to ask about where to go and what to do and they gave us many tips and info. I would recommend this to everyone who wants to stay away from tourist crowds and overpriced food. On the flight home, we spoke to a few other tourists who were staying in Honolulu and were disappointed. I hope to be able to return to Oahu soon and would not think of staying anywhere else on that island.

We LOVED Ka Hale Huna!! Char and Chris are an awesome couple and we look forward to seeing them again next year..if not sooner:) Ka Hale Huna is a tranquil beautiful place to stay. The interior is kept exceptionally clean. The view from the lanai with Waimea in the distance is fantastic. Char and Chris are very knowledgable and can give you advice on anything you may need. We LOVED the surf spots map in the kitchen (thanks). Ka Hale Huna is located in a great location..quick drive to most beaches:) The garden tour was great. Next time we WILL plant our own pineapple. Again-thanks for everything.

We just returned from a wonderful vacation at Ka Hale Huna. Char and Chris are terrific, always friendly and generous with advice. The views off the deck are spectacular, the garden is beautiful, and the North Shore is relaxing and gorgeous. Our highest recommendation!
