Within walking distance to picturesque Hanalei Bay and the heart of Hanalei, this location is prime for those travelers who value convenience and a desire to be close to the towns main attractions. Marney's Plumeria Suite had all the kitchen essentials that we needed to make our own meals, which we took with us on our adventures and excursions around the island. With close access to the Na'Pali Coast, local surfing, snorkeling, and hikes, we found the drive to others parts of the island to be scenic and well worth the trip.
We stocked our fridge with ingredients from the local grocery store to cook some meals ourselves and this place is perfect for those who enjoy in-home or local dining experiences as there are a variety of restaurants close by. In the mornings we enjoyed brewing cups of local Kauai Coffee as we prepared breakfast to eat on the lanai. We listened to the breeze rustling the palm trees in the secluded backyard and the birds coming awake as we prepared for the day ahead, coffee in hand. We even made guacamole from one of the backyard avocado trees with an avocado that was left for us by our host and included it in our nightly pupu platters.
There were portable fans for our use when the temperatures climbed that lulled us into peaceful island slumber after a day of hiking, sightseeing, and indulging in local food and drink. Beach towels, beach chairs, and boogie boards were available for our use and the on-site laundry made it so easy to keep our clothes and towels fresh and clean. While it was just my husband and myself, we remarked that the accommodations would be ideal for two couples traveling together or a larger family to enjoy. We didn't end up cooking outside, but there is a stove top, oven, and grill for preparing local seafood or cooking al fresco that makes enjoying the warm island air all the more accessible.
We were grateful to find a peaceful oasis in Hanalei and definitely will be recommending Marney's place to anyone we know that is looking to be in the heart of this beautiful Kauai town. Mahalo, Marney and Beaux, for a lovely stay!
