Taro Patch Hale is one of our favorite places we've ever stayed. The location is incredibly gorgeous and very peaceful -- perfect for us. We wanted to stay somewhere unique and this was it -- beside a small river, a few miles off the main road at the back of a valley -- we couldn't have asked for a nicer... More

We stayed here for ten days in July, 2010 and Taro Patch was absolutely everything we could have hoped for. From the first drive in we were captivated by the mountains and river and lush rainforest, taro patches to the right and river meandering to left. Our first sunset brought total privacy and relaxation - a beach day followed by... More

The property is very beautiful, set down in the Hanalei Valley. We saved this for the last leg of our honeymoon. We were so excited to be staying far away from the touristy areas of the island. When we checked in we realized that the unit was much smaller than described, I still maintain that they had us in the... More

We stayed at Taro Patch Hale in the smaller Nui cottage for seven days. We were delighted from the first turn after the wooden bridge as we wound around the long twisty road to Taro Patch. It felt like we were retreating deeper and deeper into wilderness. The sensation of the cottage was the same: sitting on the back porch,... More

The Taro patch was just perfect. We were able to do... More

My wife and I spent a short three days, that lasted forever, at Taro Patch Hale. Kauai is the island of my mother's birth, and this was the first time I shared the island with my wife. We were carried back in time - she to a time she never knew existed, and me to my youth in languid Hanalai.... More

We just spent a weekend at Taro Patch Hale, and are tempted not to tell people about it just to keep it a secret! The setting is absolutely beautiful and serene, on a rocky stream about 2 miles into the Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge. The cottage is very comfortable, with a ktichenette (food is very expensive on Kauai). The outdoor... More

My wife and I spent three nights in one of the two small cottages at Taro Patch Hale, located a few miles east of Hanalei. We loved it there. It's located up the Hanalei River valley, two miles from the turn off from Route 56 and within the National Wildlife Refuge. There aren't many people around there. The Hanalei River... More
