The famous Duke’s Canoe Club, with its ocean view dining, live music and Hawaiian Hospitality, is just a mile away as well as Kalapaki Beach and the Kauai Marriott Hotel. Also nearby are both Anchor Cove and the Harbor Mall for more dining options and tons of shopping and activity services. Safeway and Costco are approximately 3 miles away for days you want to shop and cook at home.
Lihue is our central seat of government with State and County buildings along historic Rice St., Wilcox Hospital, Kukui Grove mall, Kauai Museum, Grove Farm Museum, Puakea Golf Course, Kauai Community College and many local businesses and eateries. Don't miss Kauai Beer Company or Kauai Pasta on Rice Street or Verde and Kenji Burger at the Hokulei Shopping Village.

If a Luau is calling you visit Kilohana Plantation for their Kalamaku Luau, quite a show only 3 miles away! Kilohana Plantation also hosts Koloa Rum Company's tasting room and store, and tours of the historic grounds. Very cool!
Nawiliwili Harbor is close by for Cruise Ship and container arrivals and Huleia River is steps down the road for kayaking or fishing tours or the Menehune Fish Pond Overlook. Nawiliwili harbor can sometimes a bit noisy during the day as ships arrive but we have had very few complaints about that. Hulemalu Rd. also functions as a bypass road for locals going to and from work daily, usually 6-8 am and 3-5 pm are higher traffic times.

Quiet location, off street parking, clean, great to have a place to do laundry you will pack so much less and have a fresh clean bathing suit and beach towel each day. We hiked a lot so laundry was a huge help. Don't listen to what the other reviews say about it being noisy, there are chickens and stray cats everywhere on the island. The neighborhood was clean and quiet. Great view of the mountains. Very close to everything you'll need without it feeling obtrusive at all. Had a great stay. I felt like a local.

This little cottage was delightful. We had a short 3 night stay, and from the moment we arrived we knew we would enjoy it. We were greeted by 3 peacocks roaming the area, a monarch butterfly and of course many chickens and ducks. The area is quiet and relaxing and the cottage was just right. Many thoughtful touches including a welcome basket full of local goodies, sweet lanai with chairs and a bbq grill, luggage stands, laundry basket and private laundry room, lots of convenient appliances and items; drip coffee maker, blender, hand mixer, rice cooker, toaster, coffee press, small cooler, beach chairs and towels. Just about a half block to a cute park and the Kaiola Kanoe Club ( fun to watch all the students practicing ). Bit of a walk but not bad to Duke’s and many shopping and food places, and Kalapaki beach. The view is great as well, lush green and rock mountains, many different palm trees and Plumeria trees and native plants and foliage. Bed was comfortable and we slept well. To find any faults here would just be nit picky, we would definitely recommend a stay here.

Normally I stay on the Princeville side of Kaua i' but unable to find a location that suite my needs I "discovered" this gem. It is the perfect fit for 1-2 people. It had everything I need and then some. It was spotless clean. the queen bed was very comfortable. The only difficulty I had was with the TV, I'm not a tech type but figured it out, but who watches TV. I did not see a washer/dryer, but this is Hawaii...I knew where to was right under my feet. Everything one could need was close by including multi beaches. In fact I shared a beach with 2 Monk sea lions and 3 Turtles can not ask more than that unless it's a return visit to Malu Kaua i'.

All in all the stay was great! The kitchen is lacking some supplies and knives weren’t all that sharp. Internet wasn’t working at first but it wasn’t plugged in, easy fix. The main complaint is I wish that there were more pillows for the bed and not just decorative ones.

We enjoyed our stay here. It was very clean, cozy and comfortable. You can see the mountains from the front yard and the beautiful sun rising from the lanai. Glad to have washer, dryer and AC. We appreciated the welcoming basket and helpful property manager. It was fun to see the peacocks walking around, and yes there are noisy roosters around.

We come every year and this property has always been our favorite. We love seeing the chickens, ducks, and peacocks roaming around the neighborhood. The mountains are mesmerizing and everything we need is in this little cottage. We will be here again next year!
