We stayed in Hale Makai cottages 30 years ago. I assume the original 4 cottages were destroyed in the 1992 hurricane. We returned to celebrate 30 years together. It was a magical stay and reminisced a lot. Thank you

Hale Makai Cottages is on the down to earth beautiful north end of Kauai, even beyond cool Napalei, just briefly before the trailhead Kalalau Trail. It is all about location - and it cannot be any better than this. Cottage #2 is between 15 to 30 yards from the water, depending on the tides. You sleep to the sound of the waves and wake up with the sunrise directly into the master bedroom. The furnishing is all modern ratan and there is a full kitchen as well as a recently renovated modern bathroom. We were the only guests in all cottages during our stay and did not see another soul on the premises, which made it even more exclusive (probably thanks to COVID and the landslide limiting access to Hanalei). Definitely a non-touristy choice to pick Hale Makai Cottages about which we are really happy.

We had a really great stay at this property ... very modern and clean with most of the key amenities... beds were very comfortable, bedding and towels was impeccable. Miles of Beach is right outside the door. Accommodation and property is quiet and safe. A couple of small disappointments. Barbecue was old style hibachi and not gas. We had no charcoal so did not use it. Laundry was 5 per load and required communication to access and special detergent. Despite these minor inconveniences I would definitely recommend this property and stay here again .

Completely secluded and as close to the beach as possibleHawaii best state in the US; Kauai best Island in Hawaii, Hanalei region best on Kauai; this pretty little cottage one of the best in this region as far as we know,...… :)

This cottage was the PERFECT "get away" for us. Every morning we had coffee on the deck and watched the sunrise. Then we would go
for an early morning snorkel right in front of the house....across a sandy beach. There was a beautiful swimming area protected by a reef which was about 100 yards out. The reef had gorgeous tropical fish and coral, underwater beauty and even a turtle and a Monk Seal.....all too magical. The cottage itself (Hibiscus Cottage) was very private, although there are several other cottages on the property. It was ideally located. We walked to the famed Tunnels Beach just down the beach from us. We were just far enough out of the town of Hanalei that we felt very quiet, private and peaceful, but close enough to go in for dinner if we wished.
The cottage itself was simple, clean and elegant (in a country fashion).
It was aging, but that actually felt comfortable and homey, and was, for us, more of a positive than a negative. The landscaping is immaculate and tasteful.
We were not aware of a manager on the property, but Susan, the owner, was very accessible by email for any questions we had. The gardener and the house keeper were around frequently.
If we have an opportunity, we will definitely return to this gem, reminicent of Hawaii 50 years ago.

This little cottage is not fancy, but if you are looking for the perfect, relaxing vacation stay, it is hard to beat. It is wonderfully private; only the adjacent cottages are within view, and they are similarly private. The view is of the Pacific and Hanalei Bay, and the cottage is sufficiently elevated that (the few) visitors walking by on the beach have no view of the cottage. The cottage is very nicely furnished in and out, with plenty of towels and nice linens. It is about a 15 minute drive to Hanalei, so you have the best of all worlds - seclusion, yet close enough to one of the best beach towns in the world. An added bonus - the resort next door has a very nice restaurant and coffee shop should you decide not to drive into town. My wife and I came to this property with high expectations, though not really knowing what to expect, and it exceeded our expectations in every measure.
