The grounds of the cottage are beautifully maintained, lots of different trees, palms and bushes. Close to the beach, and the old plantation cottages give you a real feel for Old Hawaii. It's also away from the tourist areas, so it's quiet and very little light pollution for stargazing.

In the living room, a huge tv was put right in front of a beautiful traditional Hawaiian flower watercolor, covering up 2/3s of the painting (see picture with this review). It was absurd. How many supervisors have gone through and ok'd this? Either take the water color out, or put it on another wall where it can be admired. I would have given the cottages a higher score but for this. It's the little details that make a big difference.

Elegant vibe combined with authentic plantation buildings. Quiet. Nicely located at base of Waimea Canyon, where we hiked for several days. Clean. Complementary laundry facilities.

Facilities a bit rough: refrigerator had condensation ice on back wall and froze our vegetables. We missed the niceties found at other lodgings: coffee, basic seasonings, olive oil, welcome basket. Screen door swung open unless locked. No beach towels, chairs, or other beach stuff, despite beachfront property.

Loved this place. Would definitely stay again. View from the room, comfort, gorgeous porch, air conditioning, everything was great. The restaurant- chicken bbq, and pizza, and the great beer selection made it worth coming home for dinner at night. The wonderful staff even provided us with beach chairs and an umbrella and cooler to take to the beach with us.

Nothing, everything met or exceeded expectations

The cottage was fully equipped with all we needed. We especially liked the beautiful grounds and the trees surrounding the cottages. Keeping the main building & reception is a plus

Cottages and the quiet is a plus for us before we headed to Hanelei. The only negative is the lack of restaurants in the area which I understand as people passing through from the canyon.

The cottages are original and are full of charm, wood floors, wooden doors, original door handles, and lots of nook and cranny’s. If you are looking for a crowded touristy resort this is not it. I so enjoyed the peace and quiet. The lanai was large and spacious and the space in between cottages is good. Restaurant on site was very good.

My only complaint is one of us had to sleep on the rattan couch and it was very uncomfortable, even to sit in was not the best.

We had a really nice stay at Waimea Plantation Cottages. We had a one bedroom, ocean front cottage that was great. It was the perfect size for a couple, and we really enjoyed having a small kitchen to prepare some of our own meals and having the covered patio where we had coffee each morning. It was also nice having our own lawn chairs where we could sit in the sun. The property was beautiful and it was nice to be able to walk right to the beach (good beach for walking, maybe not swimming). It's a perfect location if you want to spend a couple days exploring Waimea Canyon and Koke'e State Park. It was also 5 minutes from the Kikialo small boat harbor where we launched from for a Na Pali Coast boat tour which was nice. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and they had a lot of amenities available to guests for free. I would definitely stay here again.

For someone like me, such accommodation is just the thing! You have a hut all to yourself, without trampling neighbors in the next room or above you, it is clean and quiet. It is a very spacious, wonderfully green and well-kept hotel complex right by the sea. I also liked the bar, the food was delicious. Also an ideal starting point for trips to the state parks.

In view of the wonderful peace and quiet, insignificant little things: The kitchen could have been equipped with a few more things, such as salt and pepper, baking paper. I was also missing a kettle. The back door was stuck.

Charming collection of old cottages on site fronting a quiet beach. The cottages are all slightly different, but well equipped, comfortable and clean. It is charming and understated . The details on the Booking.com site really undersell the property. There are beautiful sunsets and the grounds are lovely to walk in. The property does have an independently run restaurant and bar on site. Close to the Waimea Canyon, so you can get a morning head start on other visitors.

Nothing really

Reserved a room here to get a remote area where we could watch the meteor shower. This place exceeded our expectations. This was a beautiful little cottage right on the beach. IT was quaint but it was everything we needed. No, this is not the Marriott but it was so much more. We walked out the front door of the cottage and walked right up to the beach. There were so many stars in the sky and there was no light pollution anywhere. We will definitely return again

I don't believe there was anything that we didn't like. It was close to town and the trail. IT was just what we wanted.

The property is a traditional cottage on a large estate with a lot of open space and beautiful trees. The cottages are well spaced out and have verandahs with, in our case, a lovely view of the ocean. The accommodation is comfortable but unpretentious and the location of the estate is excellent for excursions to the Waimea Canyon and the Na Pali coast. There were fruitful mango trees on site. The staff were courteous and helpful.

can’t think of anything. the smoke detector alarm was located beside one of the bathrooms and went off if the door was left open after a shower - but we soon learned to keep the door shut and all was well. The beach has black sand and the sea tends to be brown from the nearby river water but there is a pleasant pool on site and plenty of yellow sand beaches nearby.
