Waimea Plantation Cottages, a Coast Resort

We loved it here!!! We would live here if we could. It’s an amazing and special place. We loved the vibe so much. It is a very peaceful and beautiful place. The cottages are so charming, being from the original plantation, with hardwood floors and metals roofs. The main building, where registration and the restaurant was, is also an old building and very charming. The modern kitchen in the cottage was great. It had everything we needed. We cooked meals twice a day. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was huge with a shower and a separate tub. There was air conditioning. The landscaping was so beautiful, with the old trees, the flowers and the grass. The pool was lovely. We were in it almost everyday. The black sand beach, even though not swimable, was wonderful to walk every evening, especially at sunset. We would also sit at the beach edge, in lounge chairs, and watch the sunset. Each cottage has their own lanai with table and chairs. We would sit on our lanai every day, listening to the birds and the waves. There are no chickens here so no roosters crowing 24/7 which was lovely. Each cottage has its own parking spots. All the staff very friendly. They responded very quickly with a maintenance question. If you want to get away from the huge crowds of the bigger resorts and enjoy the peace and quiet of an old plantation, this is it. There is no other place on Kauai like this place. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

We had such a wonderful stay at Waimea Plantation Cottages! Everyone on the staff was warm and welcoming, but we especially want to recognize Sky at the front desk. She was so friendly, helpful, and genuinely hospitable, and she made us feel very well taken care of. Our cottage was well maintained and very clean. The AC worked beautifully—it stayed nice and crisp inside, and the air smelled fresh, with none of the musty or moldy smell you sometimes encounter in humid climates. We also enjoyed having a full kitchen, which was easy and convenient to cook in. The only minor suggestions would be to add a wire-mesh strainer to the kitchen sink to keep food debris out of the drain and possibly replace or repair the microwave, since it didn’t heat very well. These were small inconveniences and didn’t take away from our overall experience. We had a great time and would happily stay here again. The cottages are charming and comfortable, but the wonderful hospitality is what really made our visit special.

If you want an Aloha experience come to this resort. I really could relax in this vintage cottage. The location is off the usual tourist route yet near amenities like restaurants, and shops. Waimea Canyon is a 40 minute drive to hiking and amazing views. This would be an ideal setting for a wedding celebration many unique cabins for guests to stay at with grassy beach area. Loved the vibes.

This is a special place! The cottages are older but clean and the AC is great. It is so peaceful and beautiful and old-fashioned in the best possible way. Great access to Waimea Canyon and KoKee State Park.

Absolutely stunning property for rest and relaxation overlooking the well maintained garden.
