| When my husband and I had an opportunity to take some time out, we wondered what would refresh us? Coming from a noisy, populated, busy city environment, we knew more of the same in a different location wouldn't be the memorable break we needed. Mahinani's was quiet, beautiful, simple and fragrant. The short walk to the beach was enjoyable, in fact, we were grateful to not have to look for our vehicle in a sea of rentals on a "paved parking lot." It was a great location. To make the most of the trip, we did venture out some, but we felt content to spend our time acclimating to true Hawaiian style and as a result, we have vivid, memories of a wonderful time. Thank you Don and Diana! |

| Mahinani's Farm is simply the best! I have had the great fortune to be able to stay in the 1-bedroom twice, and the 2-bedroom once. I loved it so much I have had to return again and again. It is the only place on Kauai that I will stay. The grounds are very serene, and the location is very good. We (and I) have been very, very happy there, and very, very happy with the way it is set up--to have a lot of privacy or to have wonderful service, both are great. Both cottages are well appointed and super comfortable. This is the only place to stay on Kauai. Thank you very much Mahinani's! Mahalo, Joe |

| I stayed in this cottage for 12 days in early 2008. The location and amenities are as represented. It is a very comfortable cottage and Don and Diana Mahi are wonderful hosts. I could not have asked for a more delightful introduction to Hawaii. I enjoyed my stay so much, I decided to move to Kauai. Amazing what a cute, little one bedroom cottage can do! |

A paradise in paradise! The experience of staying
here is relaxing and rejuvenating. I've had the
pleasure of staying in both the 1- and 2-bedroom
cottages and both are so amazingly warm and
inviting that you just want to live there forever. The
kitchen in the 2-bedroom is fun and easily
accommodates a group of family and friends. The
Mahi family embodies the aloha spirit and are
always so accommodating and hospitable. The
location is convenient to island activities yet
situated in a private, peaceful place -- just perfect!
I love the island of Kauai and staying at the Mahi's
cottage makes the experience heaven! |

Aloha, I live on the island of Oahu and for some years my husband and I have escaped to the island of Kauai to get away from the hustle and bustle here at home. Every time we go back to Kauai we like staying in the 1bd. cottage here at the Mahinani`s Retreat. It`s surroundings are just beautiful and relaxing. We also enjoyed our privacy being there. It can`t get any better. When I am there in the cottage I feel I`ve gone back in time. It gives me a feeling of what Hawaii used to be like some 30- 40yrs ago. It`s been a beautiful experience staying at the cottage and getting to know the Mahi`s. They are wonderful people and I hope others will be able to come to this retreat and experience the joy too.
When we travel with a bigger group we do stay in the 2bd.cottage. The cottage is designed to handle alot more individual having meals with friends and family. It is the perfect island get-away and is an awesome experience. |

My husband and I stayed at the 2 bedroom cottage for a week of our honeymoon, and that was, by far, our favorite place to stay! The house is situated amongst the most peaceful and serene setting you can imagine. Every morning we would pick fresh ruby red grapefruits, bananas, avocados, lemons and limes from the trees surrounding the house.
The owners are wonderful people, who made us feel right at home and look forward to coming back to our romantic cottage at night, after a day full of island adventures.
Our favorite part of the house was the kitchen!!! We both have a soft spot for food and kitchens, so we might be bias, but once you enter this kitchen with the sun up in the morning, you will never want to leave! The whole front wall opens to a great deck and inside and outside just blend together.
We will be back soon and will absolutely recommend it to anyone who is headed that way! |

| In the past six years, we have rented the one bedroom cottage over 200 days, and plan to add to that total in 2010. The Mahi family is most wellcoming to us, and make us feel like family. If you are looking for a quiet vacation, we strongly recomend this "Shrangrila". |
