It’s still here. The old Hawai‘i you’ve always dreamed of still exists. The Riverhouse sits on nearly two acres of pristine riverfront botanical gardens, in one of the last areas on Kauai where time has basically stood still. It still feels like you're stepping back into old Hawai‘i when things were uncomplicated, undeveloped, authentic, and unhurried. At River Estate I have been welcoming guests for over 30 years, consistently earning 5-star reviews. Many guests have shared how the river’s gentle current and morning bird songs became the rhythm of their days, transporting them back to a time when Kaua‘i’s beauty was raw and untouched. Evenings bring the scent of tropical blossoms on warm breezes, while the flowing water becomes a natural lullaby—peaceful and soul-restoring. Guests often speak of the rare blend of privacy and the convenience of it's central location. The spacious grounds feel completely secluded and private but outside the property the busy world awaits you. The central location is just 10 minutes east lies the town of Hanalei, and 10 minutes west brings you to Ke‘e Beach and the Nā Pali Coast trail in Hā‘ena State Park. Many guests describe how coming “home” each afternoon felt like a daily ritual—restorative, grounding, and essential to the experience. Fresh tropical flower scents, botanical garden whispers , and unfiltered natural beauty come together here. The Riverhouse isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a living reminder of a Kaua‘i that time has left untouched. Yes, it's still right here for you to experience yourself.
