Immaculate and well- maintained. It was noisier than I expected due to traffic and bridge construction but very cute garden where you can sit outside ##### Julia Stayed 13 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica Sep 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We enjoyed the location - walk to a beach for sunrise and kayak in the evening on the river. It was an extremely peaceful setting. The room was comfortable and it was fantastic to have a kitchen with a nice size refrigerator. There was even free laundry on premise! Complimentary beach gear and kayak equipment were available. The grounds would have benefited from more watering and love. We look forward to a return visit. ##### Monica Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Russell Apr 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This was our first visit to Hawaii and we couldn't have found a better property to stay at. Secluded, quiet and well maintained. The River Cottage was so well equipped with kitchen ware, microwave, full oven, refrigerator and even Alexa for listening 🎧 to music at night on our Lanai. Paul the property manager was gracious and the cottage was immaculate. From this property, you are only five minutes by car away from Smith Family Farms where there is a 30 acre botanical garden and luau that runs several days a week. Reservations are a must. There is also the Fern Grotto cruise that is a wonderful hour and a half journey with entertainment that is well worth your time and definitely affordable. We plan on going back in 2026\. It felt like our home away from home and about 15 minutes away from the Lihiue airport. ##### Russell Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hnia Sep 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Booking the River cottage instead of a hotel and resort was such a great decision. The cottages are surrounded by lush gardens with trees laden with fruit and flowers. The area is quiet and affords you complete privacy. The check in process was great! Everything was already prepared for us when we went inside. The cottage is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and was impeccably clean. There is an access point to the Wailua river with kayaks available. Laundry facilities were also such a convenience. I would love to stay here again! Such a magical and whimsical place. ##### Hnia Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renee Feb 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This truly is a home away from home! Kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom has full size toiletries. Free laundry facilities include detergent and dryer sheets. The amenity that totally goes above and beyond is the recreational activity supplies: kayaks, SUPs, coolers (ice, too), beach towels, beach chairs, beach mats, and snorkel gear! You can get to the river from the property and the beach is a very short walk. I recommend this place for adults and solo travelers. Only complaint, and it has nothing to do with the resort (it's all over the island), was the roosters. The owner lives onsite which also helps keep any issues to a minimum. We would definitely stay there again. ##### Renee Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amber Jul 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We stayed in Coco Unit D for my honeymoon recently for 5 nights and we had the most incredible stay. The river view from the unit was stunning. The units themself are small but really comfortable and have everything you’d need such as AC and a kitchen with dishes and pots and pans and coffee maker and a comfortable bed and plenty of towels. The location is really ideal since it’s in between Poipu/Waimea and the north shore and 10 minutes away from the airport. But what makes this place really stand out is the amenities it has to offer. We used the free kayaks to kayak to Secret falls trailhead which was about 40 minutes away. We used the free bikes to bike along the ocean. We loved being able to do our laundry here and use the snorkel equipment. Also the mango trees! There are about 5 mango trees on the property that you are allowed to harvest from and the mangoes are so delicious! There was also a star fruit tree and a small lime tree! Paul has truly put so much thought into his property and I couldn’t have imagined a better place for us to have stayed at for our honeymoon. ##### Amber Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynette Nov 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Fern Grotto Inn was a beautiful vacation getaway. We were extremely pleased with the Coco A cottage that we stayed at. Would recommend this over a hotel. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking and well kept. So many amenities that are an added bonus. A true gem in Kauai!
