Summary: Magnificent bungalow tucked in a peaceful tropical sanctuary with waterfall view from the porch. Incredible, comfortable, clean and packed with amenities - bikes and beach gear galore. Walkable to tunnels with awesome views. Super close to Kalalau trailhead and 10 min drive to Hanalei town happenings. My 4 friends and I loved this stay!
