1 Your Stay At The Kauai Country Inn

2 Welcome to Kauai & the Kauai Country Inn. The Kauai Country Inn consists of four private, executive style suites all of which are beautifully furnished in Hawaiian style decor, with private entrance & bathroom, and full kitchen or kitchenette. Each of our tropical hideaways is fully equipped with all regular amenities but also feature TVs with DVD players, and en-suite computers with FREE high speed DSL & Wi-fi internet access, so you can easily stay in touch while away from home. As our name indicates, the Inn is situated in lush tropical countryside, less then a 10 minute drive away from beautiful east shore beaches and the many restaurants and shops located in Kapaa town. On your way to and from the Inn you will pass splendid waterfalls, tropical rainforest and drive through gorgeous valleys. This is a quiet, out-oftown location close to many beautiful hiking trails yet it's less then 10 minutes away from some of the best beaches and restaurants on the Island. We are in an ideal location for all of your sightseeing! Most of the island s attractions are close by: Just 5 minutes away from the Inn are the Opaeka a Waterfalls and the Wailua River, where the Smith s Tour Boats will take you to the famed Fern Grotto, used as a location in Elvis s Blue Hawaii movie. Kapaa town, less than a 10 minute drive away, offers the most variety in restaurants and shops. The Wailua Golf Course is just south of Kapaa and offers an 18 hole course with quite reasonable green fees. Our central location offers quick access to the scenic sugar country of the south shore, or the taro fields of the northern coast.

3 Pamper Yourself In Paradise... Melodic songbirds serenade your and the fragrance of tropical flowers drift by on balmy breezes as you relax, immersed in nature, in another world, in another time. Swaying gently on the hammock or soaking up the midday sun around the garden, you bask in the serenity of this multi-million dollar, two acre estate, that lies in a tranquil mountain valley between Mount Wai ale ale and the turquoise blue Pacific Ocean. Accommodations Treat yourself to one of our most luxurious and comfortable suites: the Green Rose Suite or the Plumeria Suite. Each is a favorite for honeymoons and anniversaries, providing privacy, and both great indoor and outdoor spaces. For the more budget oriented traveler the Orchid Suite and it s cousin the Yellow Ginger Suite are perfect.

4 Getting Here. The Kauai Country Inn is a short 20 minutes drive from the Kauai Lihue Airport. Having arrived at the Lihue airport please turn RIGHT onto the main highway, Kuhio HWY - Route 51/56 North. It will take you about 10 minutes to reach the Wailua River. Cross the river and turn left immediately at the traffic light into Kuamo'o Road. Take Kuamo'o Road (HWY 580) up past the Opaeka'a Waterfalls and turn right at the Wailua Country Store onto Kamalu Road (HWY 581). Take Kamalu Road to the "Stop sign" (at the T-Junction) and turn left on Olohena Road. Kauai Country Inn is about 1/2 mile on the right hand side of the street. There is a big Lava rock mailbox and wall at the top of the driveway to the Inn. The main house which is set back from the street is a big white house with green trim and features a picture mural of a Hawaiian landscape. Please note that there is intentionally no "Kauai Country Inn" sign on the street. We strive to keep the Inn quiet, serene & private for our guest's comfort. Our street address is: 6440 Olohena Rd., Kapaa, HI Phone: Please note that we do not have a 24 hour front desk, so it is important to bring these directions with you.

5 Getting In. Upon your arrival you will find an envelope at the front door to the Inn. Attached to the check-in paperwork is a personalized key card with a number code that will open your suite. Remember this number as it is the key to your accommodation, and as such please treat it with the care you would a house key. This number will work for both the main Inn Entrance and the door to your suite. In the envelope is also a map of the house showing you exactly where your suite is. There are two suites upstairs in the house (the Yellow Ginger Suite and the Green Rose Suite) and two suites down stairs (the Plumeria Suite and the Orchid Suite). Please have a look at the map to the right to give you an idea of where your suite will be located. As we ask all of our guests, please be considerate of other guests staying in the Inn, especially over evening and night. We like to maintain a calm and quiet atmosphere for all guests at the Inn. Breakfast A simple continental breakfast consisting of assorted pastries, jogurt, and freshly ground & brewed coffee or tea is served daily from 8 AM until 9 AM (9 AM till 10 AM on weekends). Breakfast is served in the Lobby and there is seating outside on the front deck. Of course you may also enjoy breakfast in the comfort of your own suite or private deck. Internet Each suite is equipped with an Apple Computer and FREE Wi-fi internet access so you can easily stay in touch while away from home.

Included in the collection of Beatles memorabilia from all over the world are some unique items including a Mini Cooper S car with original paperwork signed by Brian Epstein, the Beatles manager, as original owner. This car, pictured above, is in incredible condition for its age (1967) with original mileage of 19,000 miles and an unbelievable story of how it came into the collection. There is also a reproduction of a drum skin from a set of drums used during touring, original paintings by John Lennon and a host of books, records, movies, tapes, tee shirts and rare items seen only at exhibitions. This is an exclusive attraction to guests of the Kauai Country Inn and the museum is not open to the public. Photos may be taken along side the car.

11 Isn t It Expensive To Get Married In Hawaii? The latest "Wedding Report" tells us that the average cost of a wedding in America is $28,704.

13 Questions & Answers Why so many Photos? 300 Photos for a Wedding sounds like a lot. Aren't pictures more normal? Well, yes, it s true that most photographers shoot 24 or 36 images for the same price we shoot 300. It s also true that 24 or 36 shots can t possibly capture the beauty and elegance of a beach wedding on Kauai. The original reason behind 24 or 36 shots was that that s how film was sold in rolls of 24 or 36 shots on a roll, and when the change over to digital came along, most photographers just kept everything the same, although they did shoot more images, they would only tell you about them later and offer them to you for extra money. The other difference is that Kauai Island Weddings gives you the copyright to all your images FREE, with the DVD we send to you. Most companies charge up to $400 extra for this right, which is a little strange because the photos are of you anyway. Perhaps the biggest difference is that we shoot each Wedding with two photographers, and if you order a video we make that three photographers. Now it s easy to see that 300 isn t too many photos, in fact in many weddings, it may be too few! Should I hire a TEAM or just a BUNCH OF INDIVIDUALS? Maybe I can save money by hiring different experts to work together, like an individual photographer, minister, videographer and musician. I may be able to save a few bucks if I coordinate the wedding myself. But is there a down side? You won t save any money by hiring a group of individuals, and you might be heading for trouble, in a big way. Your Wedding needs to be properly coordinated, and that s hard to do when a group of people haven t worked together before. The Wedding must go smoothly and everything must run like a well oiled clock. Errors caused by people who don't work as a team are common, they can t rely on each other and it makes everybody nervous. The photographer doesn't necessarily know the ceremony and when certain photo opportunities arise, and the musician may not know when to play. Just look at the wedding photos of most wedding companies. Why aren t the bride and groom smiling, maybe things aren t going well? Now look at all of our wedding photos, see the difference! There s no time for a do-overs, no second chances, either everything got captured or it got missed. Don t leave things to chance, always book a company that has their own staff doing everything: from the minister to the photographer, to the videographer, editor and coordinator. Make sure you get the best you can afford, you don t get a second chance at this special day. Complete information on how to get married in Kauai
