Summary: What a WONDERFUL property. I have visited Kauai many times and appreciate the peace and tranquility of being at 'the end of the road' as the locals refer to this part of the island. There is a river running through the property that changes its nature daily. Every morning I sat to meditate in my room, opened the doors to the lanai and listened to the flow of the river. Deep peace and tranquility doesn't even begin to sum up the experience. Mark is a fantastic host and I hope you enjoy this property as much as my family did. Mahalo
