Reviews
Mark C.
The Hihimanu House was absolutely magnificent! In many places we've stayed, online pictures are typically better than the actual condition of the property. In this case, the pictures might not do the Hihimanu House justice. Everything is brand new, the layout was perfect for our family of 5 (so much room), and it had everything we could ever need. It really could hold 10 people easily. It was well stocked with top-quality kitchen accessories and laundry supplies despite us bringing our own. And the bathroom amenities (towels, soaps and shampoos) made you feel like you were in a 5-star Hawaiian resort, which was truly unexpected. It was amazing. House is about 12-15 min walk to the Westin Princeville and the Wyllie\'s Beach trailhead. It's also 8-10 min drive to Hanalei and 5 min walk to the Princeville shopping area for groceries and such. Area was very quiet at night. Just a joy to be in!
