My wife and I had a great stay at Lani Oli Hale. This is true local Hanalei living and is set far back in the Jungle. We enjoyed the symphony of birds each morning when we would wake and watch the sun come up over the jungle canopy. The upstairs cottage is very roomy and has lots of space to relax and stretch out. The Kitchen was great and provided anything you would need to make a full on meal or just a quick breakfast in the morning. The location is nice as you are minutes from an awesome Sushi joint [Sushi Girl] and a short drive to the end of the road at Ke'e beach. There aren't any beaches walking distance however there are some hidden gems very close by the main road. It was nice to return home to a secluded jungle hideaway after being out all day long exploring. I highly recommend staying at Lani Oli Hale if you are exploring Hanalei or the North Shore and want to get away and experience the jungle first hand. Dawn is an awesome host and knows the Island very well, she takes great care of all her guests. Mahalo Nui!
