The Whale House was simple and perfect. Exactly what we needed, quiet, clean and the host was extremely easy to work with. We will stay here again. You can hear the ocean, the view is beautiful and the kitchen was great for cooking meals. So many state parks down the road on both sides. Love it!

Absolutely Heaven
This little cottage by the sea was just what we wanted. Beautiful early morning wake-up calls from the birds and geckos and the sounds of the waves. Night is especially amazing as the stars are bright. Loved the black sand beach and chatting with locals. Close to everything. Really hope we can visit again soon. Thanks Andre and Susan for a wonderful week.

Great big island stay
Loved the whale house, cute little kitchen, lots of beautiful flowers and a walk across the street to Kehena Beach, which we liked more than Pohoiki Beach.

Kehena Whale House
We enjoyed our stay at the Whale House. Though we were across the street from the shore we could see the ocean from the lanai. Everything was clean and comfortable. Although it was a bit of a scramble to get there, the black sand beach was lovely. We would definitely stay there again.
