I absolutely loved it here. Coming from the city, I looked forward to the feel of “old” Hawaii. Loved the cottage that we stayed in. I expected the vintage atmosphere and appreciated it. Waimea has that small town feel. Lucky that there was a grocery store close by because we were able to cook breakfast and ate on our huge lanai every morning. If you’re a foodie and like to eat out, unfortunately, Waimea town didn't have a large selection of restaurants. Waimea Plantation Cottages offers a full kitchen, AC in all the rooms, hammocks throughout the property, a walkable (not for swimming) beach, a nice pool, and beautiful sunsets. If you want relaxation with charming and very quiet surroundings, this place is perfect. I would definitely return!!
