Property Description
Surrounded by lush botanical gardens and the relaxing sounds a gently flowing river outside, the Guest House at River Estate offers a rare opportunity to experience the authentic beauty of Kaua‘i’s North Shore as few people have. Just two blocks from a secluded beach that can be easily reached by a short paddle from out front of the house or a 2 block walk—the property is a private oasis where nature takes center stage. Mature native foliage, tropical flowers and exotic songbirds blend magically to create a peaceful, immersive environment that feels wonderfully removed from your normal day to day life. Your sanctuary is perfectly situated centrally between the charming town of Hanalei and the end of the road at Ke’e Beach and Nā Pali Coast trailhead. This laid back corner of the island remains untouched by development, where life still moves at the unhurried pace of old Hawai‘i and there is no development whatsoever. Here, you will be embraced by the spirit of the past—quiet mornings relaxing to the sound of the river, ocean breezes drifting through the trees, and the gentle rhythm of life in the islands. Your visit to the Guest House at River Estate will be your chance to reconnect—with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself.
