Kalani Hawaii Private Lodging

Pupukea

This was a great value homestay.  The host we talked with the most, Bernie, was super friendly and helpful. He answered every question and guided us throughout. The facilities were all spotless, the rooms were comfy, and the property amenities were top notch. Best of all, the location! It felt far enough away but at the same time close to all sites, shops and beaches.  One of the best homestay-guesthouses I’ve ever experienced….highly recommended!

Beach house living

I couldn’t recommend a place better than Kalani Private Lodge. I spent two months on the islands and this place was litteraly the best. A little piece of paradise where you feel at home. The extreme cleanliness is one of the highlights of this place, as well as the tranquillity. Maria and Bernie are working hard to make this place a haven of peace. Bernie is staying at the Private Lodge with the guests and he is the best host you could wish for!!!
The location is perfect: you are in the most beautiful part of the island, with the beach across the street and a lot of delicious places to eat in the area. I spent three weeks in a dorm and everything was more than perfect. The only negative here is that you will not want to leave this place during your stay on the island!
A very warm thanks to Maria and Bernie for their hospitality, I can’t wait to coming back!

A piece of paradise!

Such an awesome place to stay if you are a little more adventurous and willing to ditch the big corporate hotels that control lodging on the island.  Super clean, comfortable and quiet.  Lots of outdoor space to hang out and enjoy a beverage.  Easy drive to nearby food trucks for dining or groceries if you want to make some quick meals.  Short walk to the beach or easy drive to many beaches.  It’s such a chill and relaxing place to stay.  I highly recommend and hope to het back there soon.

Perfect place to spend a week on the N. Shore

I have booked a room for two nights with the common bathroom even though it is much below our standards ONLY because at the time of booking the checkin was scheduled from 12:00 to 22:00 and we needed a safe and secure check in advance. After accepting my booking and having taken away some of the money (about $90) I get a message that says that the check in is from 16:00 onwards!!!!! Note that booking appeared as 12:00 hours! Very angry owners because it is not clearly written to them that the check in is at 16:00 hours that was given to me if the receipt was not immediately taken by the booking date I would have never seen them.

It's the worst experience I've ever had.

This was our first trip to Hawaii for my husband and myself. We were impressed by the private accommodations in the Pink Ginger Room and the true Hawaiian Aloha hospitality show to us by Bernie and his wife Maria.  From the moment we arrived, Bernie provided suggestions for great activities and made us feel at home. We enjoyed being right across from the beach for swimming and to watch the World Surf League Competition at Sunset Beach. The area is beautiful and vibrant.  We hope to stay at Kalani Hawaii Private Lodging again.  (Also, there is a wonderful set of units for the surfing crowd on-site with an amazing Lanai (huge patio).

An Amazing Find !

Perfect location to explore North Shore. Super clean, comfortable and peaceful with everything we needed for our family vacation. We opted for the spacious Pacific Guest House and enjoyed the beautiful lanai for outdoor dining and loved the hammock and private yard. Slept great. Although the house has a private bath, we opted more often to use the outdoor showers: as another reviewer mentioned - hot shower with great pressure, rejuvenating. The hosts Bernie and Maria were so welcoming. Bernie had great tips for local activities and fare, history and points of interest. He went above and beyond one afternoon helping us out of a jam with our rental car.  We treasure our first visit to Oahu because of our stay at Kalani Hawaii and hope to come back soon!

North Shore gem

We absolutely loved our stay here. We stayed in the Sunrise / Sunset Suite which is about a one minute walk away from Sunset Beach. You are also a short distance away from other attractions in the area such as Shark's Cove and Haleiwa. The room was clean and the outdoor shower was a treat. Bernie is a great host and helped us with everything from local food tips to snorkeling equipment. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and definitely would love to visit again.

A great way to experience the North Shore

Excellent stay for my girlfriend's and my first trip to Oahu! Bernie was a great host, helped us out considerably during our North Shore stay and we really appreciated it. We stayed in the Kalihi Ginger Private Room and don't have any regrets. Less than a 3 minute walk to Sunset Beach and there were even some provided beach accessories we could use.

Just some extra points:
- I'm always pretty particular when it comes to showers. The Tahitian outdoor shower was hot, had great pressure and plenty of space/privacy.
- My girlfriend was worried about bugs, due to Hawaii being so tropical, though it turned out to be no issue at all -- the only exception was the dozen or so ants that ate the Oreos we left out on a counter one night, rather than stowing them in the fridge. Not so much as a fly besides that.
- "Private" here means private. You're away from everything. I wouldn't even considering this a "Private Room" in AirBNB standards, this is a fully private, separate space that was all for us.

Seriously, great place. Can't recommend it enough. Stay here if you can.

Great place, stay here if you can.

I brought my 3 sons here to spend some quiet time on the North shore in the summer. It's a perfect location and a beautiful property - with clean kitchen and outdoor dining area, grass and hammock area, place to do yoga and park bikes.  

We rented bikes and took the bike path to the various beaches from Sunset Beach and over to Waimea. There's also a bus stop close by that took us to surf lessons at Turtle Bay, and snorkeling and shark viewing at Haleiwa.  

Bernie is the host and does an absolutely phenomenal job keeping the place running smoothly and ensuring you have peace and quiet to enjoy the North Shore community and activities. 

Great spot, would definitely book again.

Great location, beautiful property, great host

I have driven through North Shore many times and decided this time I would spend a few nights there. I had simply the best time at the Kalani. A big part of the experience was due to the owner/manager of the Lodge: Bernie. He ensured I was taken care of from the days before arriving to the time spent on property. 

He is not only a local, but a true legend in the North Shore. Ask him a question about what to do nearby and he'll give you the most comprehensive list. You won't have to do any research...just ask. 

I was there during the time when vaccines rolled out and travel peaked. I couldn't rent a car for anything reasonable...and that wasn't a problem. The location is across the street from the softest sandy beach. There are plenty of food truck options within walking (5-7mins) or a Foodland grocery store further on bike (10-15mins). I took the bus to Waimea Falls and Hale'iwa town. Or simply just ask Bernie and if his busy hands are free he is more than happy to accommodate. 

The rooms were cozy and just enough for my solo stay. The dining / lounge area was where all the folks that stayed gathered every night. Great to meet new people from all over the world. Several families were there and truly kid friendly. Everyone observed quiet hours and I had the most peaceful rest there in many years. 

The most important thing was how well kept and clean ALL shared spaces were. The decor made me feel like I was truly in the tropics. Just a magical place that I will recommend to all my family and friends.
