This spot is in Princeville, which is about a 10 minute drive from Hanalei Bay, probably the most breathtaking beach on Kauai (and that's saying a lot) and surfing central. Princeville has a nice centre with various shops and a few restaurants, but is also closer to the north-eastern part of the island than Hanalei Bay itself, and so has easier access to the various beaches, trails (most of them to beaches), and perhaps the best playground on Kauai (in Kilauea near the Wai Koa Loop) east of Hanalei Bay.
Probably the thing I enjoyed most about this place was waking up to gorgeous views of the mountains, listening to the sounds of various birds in the forest canopy, and drinking a cup of coffee while taking it all in. The place itself was clean and the downstairs is almost a separate suite (without a kitchen), so good if traveling with multiple couples. We had a hitch where we couldn't find the pool key, but management was very quick in responding and getting us a new key. This is a great base for exploring the northern part of Kauai.
