We looked at a lot of Kauai hotels and then decided that we needed something fun and different for this Kauai vacation, so we picked the Bamboo Jungle House. At first, Mimi thought it might be one of those places for swingers or something, but after a little research we found that it was actually an old plantation house up in the hills of Kalaheo.

If you expect to be right in the mix of things you might want to make another choice of places to stay. The Bamboo Jungle House is pretty secluded. We started to have second thoughts about the location, but quickly forgot about that big Kauai hotel when Lucy and Terry, the owners, met us. They remind me of my parents. They were very attentive and made sure that we felt right at home.

Our room was the Waterfall Room. By the way, the Bamboo Jungle House is for adults only. Our room had a big canopy four post bed with netting. I wondered about the netting, and so did Mimi, but we were assured that it’s really more for decoration, but that if we left the doors and windows open, that there might be some buzzing guests at night.

The room overlooked the gardens and waterfalls, which were very nice. It was really relaxing to sit on the lanai, which is private and just close your eyes and listen to the wind and the birds and the waterfalls. I fell asleep out there once.

It’s not for everybody, but it beats an impersonal stay in a typical Kauai hotel. We told some friends about Lucy and Terry, and because they are into natural healing and new age type of things, they are planning to stay at the Bamboo House on their next Kauai vacation.
