"The property is in a lovely location with views of both the ocean and the mountains. The staff was friendly and attentive. The complimentary shuttle was really convenient and we used it frequently in order to avoid having to find parking. The onsight restaurant is amazing and the coffee shop perfect for our needs. We loved the beauty and peace of the property. The newly renovated pool was also a nice place to spend time. Unfortunately, the jacuzzi was out of order the entire week we were there."

Hallor House: Breezy Hideaway Near Tunnels & Na Pali Trail

Hallor House: Breezy Hideaway Near Tunnels & Na Pali Trail

10/10 Excellent
"A very nice property on a quiet cul-de-sac. Parking is limited in this area, so good to have that included on the property. Although this place is near Haena and the Na Pali Coast this does not guarantee admission on foot or by car. Make sure you check out the website that allows you access to Haena - you should look at that a month in advance of your stay if you can. You can pick up the shuttle bus to Haena from outside the nearest store/coffee shop rather than driving back to Hanalei - but this is not a cheaper option. The beaches around the property are beautiful, but I actually found it easier to access the middle of Tunnels beach by walking on the road to a different dirt lane - it can be a slog through the loose sand otherwise. There are shops nearby in Hanalei to buy fresh fish and the like, but there are several one lane bridges so it takes about 20 mins. We also enjoyed the chickens and other birds around the property, as well as the lizards and the donkeys that seemed to escape from their enclosure and show up to check out the neighborhood. Host was very helpful and communicative. Highly recommend if you don't mind being a little out of the way - which suited us fine."

"The condo was clean and nicely outfitted with everything that was needed to enjoy our stay. The location is terrific and allows you to fall asleep each night listening to the waves and rain. Our balcony was used daily with a lovely breeze and great views of the sea. The only challenge we had in staying in this unit was that we didn't realize until just before our trip that were unable to use the complimentary shuttle to hike the Na Pali coast, so needed to make other arrangements. We learned that this specific unit uses another rental company and is why we couldn't use it. With that said, we look forward to coming back."

"Loved staying at this beachside house near Hanalei. Walking distance to beautiful beaches. Friendly neighbors. Peaceful. We wished we could have stayed longer, but our trip was curtailed by Hurricane Lala. Donna, our host, was helpful, communicative and understanding throughout the process. We would love to stay here again. Clean, peaceful, comfy beds. Love the main shower with river rock flooring and ocean sounds through the windows."
