We have recently returned from a week-long stay on Kauai’s north shore where we had what has been described as our “best family vacation ever!”
From activities that range from healthful walks on the trails circling the golf course and yoga at dawn at Princeville to vigorous 8 hour mountain trekking to waterfalls, there is a great breadth of modes of recreation and fitness. With breath-taking scenery everywhere…from watching Moses, the very neighbourly albatross who, with his young family, resides in the backyard while the hatchlings acclimate to waves breaking on picturesque beaches, passing pods of whales and sunsets in Waimea canyon, we were constantly reminded of the island’s charms.
The main advantage of this property, Hale On‘tariō, is that it puts one in the middle of all of the above. Under new ownership, the house has just been upgraded, notably the kitchen and second bathroom. There are three lovely bedrooms, which worked perfectly for our family of six adults, and a large common room, fully wired for audio and visual entertainment. A BBQ stored in the garage was useful and, apart from one notable evening out, we made use of the kitchen to prepare our own meals. The bed my wife and I shared was possibly the largest and most comfortable bed I have ever slept in and I am 62.
All in all, I would not hesitate to rate this experience a perfect 5/5 and offer a complete and unreserved endorsement.
