This just might be one of the finest Hawaiian vacation experiences you'll ever have! There is absolutely nothing like it on Kauai. If you're looking for an alternative to resort or beach front lodging that delivers a first rate nature oriented Hawaiian experience at a reasonable price this could be just what you have been searching for. Our strong repeat customer base says it all! Once you visit the Guest House at River Estate you'll never want to leave!

You know what they say...It's all about location, right? Well our unique location and property was instrumental in River Estate being the only Kauai property to be included in the February 2006 issue of National Geographic Adventure Magazine as it's recommended accommodation on Kauai to set up your base camp while exploring the island. We're very proud of that. We've also been listed in Fodor's Guide, Lonely Planet Guide and the Los Angeles Times Travel Online Deals and recommendations section. The house and property seem to just grab your imagination and stay there. We have customers coming back year after year.

Our secluded hideaway is exceptionally private and casually elegant and is located on the grounds of River Estate which is a riverfront botanical garden between Hanalei and the northwest end of the island and a short distance upriver from Wainiha Beach. In fact you can actually paddle down the river and back from the house to the beach and into the ocean. Where else can you do that on the north shore of Kauai from a vacation rental? The unique location of this property will allow you to feel like you're in your own private sanctuary yet just outside the estate you'll find all the activities and attractions that North Kauai is famous for. It's all there at your disposal yet you can always come back to the Guest House to relax, regroup and plan your next adventure.

This is a magical paradise where you can detach from it all and rediscover all the wonderful experiences you might have forgotten in your day to day life. The Guest House truly lives up to it's reputation and it's a place where you'll let go of all your stress, forget your troubles and enjoy some of life's most valued treasures....peace, tranquility and the exquisite privacy you'll find here at River Estate.
