The Guest House: two bedrooms on the Wainiha River

The Guest House is a two-bedroom, two-bath private home on the Wainiha River, roughly 200 feet from the Riverhouse and screened from it by mature tropical garden. It sleeps up to four.

Bedrooms and bathrooms

Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Smaller and quieter than the Riverhouse, which is why it suits couples, honeymoons and anniversaries — while still having room for four.

Kitchen, living space and laundry

A full kitchen, laundry, air conditioning, WiFi, and its own lanai facing the river and the garden.

The lanai and the river

Shares the same two acres of private riverfront and the same included kayaks and paddleboards. The river is tidal and conditions vary; Mark will tell you what the water is doing on the day.
