Very beautiful property, the views where gorgeous. Quiet, park like setting on the south coast of Kauai. The restaurant which is on the property has awesome service and food. If you are looking for a laid back, very small town local feel, this is the place to stay at in Waimea.

My stay at Waimea Plantation Cottages was one of the best vacations I have ever had! The grounds were incredible and my cottage was perfect. It was so nice to have a place all to myself where I did not share a wall with others. The staff was very friendly and Cherrie went above and beyond to make sure my stay was perfect. In fact, I wouldn't have made it home without her! Thank you, Cherrie!

I liked the cottage setting and the service was fine. However, the beach is black sand and rocky which makes it a shark haven and nobody goes in the ocean. Also, the cottages are not air conditioned well and the power went out in the middle of the night and I had to figure out how to get everything turned back on to my cottage and it looked like others had the same problem. The main living areas in the cottage would get into the upper 80s from about 1 pm until 6 pm due to the poor a/c setup and we would have to leave the cottage during that time frame every day. I felt like we overpaid a lot for the stay based on the location and the cottage conditions.

Aloha Jeff, We appreciate you taking a few minutes to share your experiences with us. The black sand and dirty water fronting the resort is because about a quarter-mile above us the Waimea river flows out of the Waimea Canyon into the ocean, and the currents churn up the sediments causing the water to be dirty and people chose to use the beach as a walking beach instead of a swimming one. Actually, the ocean fronting the property is all sand bottom and not rocky. Yes both August and September are the hottest months out of the year, and with little to no tradewinds did not help the matter either. I did some research and saw that we tried to install a portable AC or provide additional fans, and I am guessing that did not work. We are sorry we could not make it better while you were here. We hope you were able to discover the beauties the island had to offer. Mahalo!

Lovely cottages with fully supplied kitchens. Very spacious living, bath, and bedroom. Place os immaculate. I’m sitting in the living room with my feet up, coffee in hand looking out at the beautiful ocean view. The only downsides: this is clearly a family place. Great for kids, but, not necessarily a honeymoon or adult time place.

Special experience

I have to be honest when we first arrived at the Waimea plantation I was thrilled when I saw the gorgeous reception area. When I got to our 2 bedroom oceanfront cottage I was honestly a little disappointed as the cottage looked nothing like the photos I had seen. We returned to the reception and explained that we were disappointed with the cottage and they graciously upgraded us to the 3 bedroom ocean front directors cottage which was perfect! The cottage isn't fancy, but so charming and a very special was to explore the west side of Kauai.

Step back in time

We stayed 3 nights in a 2 bedroom oceanfront cottage. It felt like a step into the past. The cottage was from the 1930's. The view was spectacular, black sand beach, pine and palm trees, flowers everywhere. There were loads of windows and french doors with white curtains, ceiling fans in every room, air conditioners in the bedrooms, porches front and back, fully equipped kitchen and a gas grill out front. Beautiful, but keep in mind it is old, so if you like that kind of character it is good. There were some little bugs that came in the bathroom and a couple of geckos made it inside. For me...it was charming.
