    Shower and bath could use an update. But it is very well maintained and very clean.

    Wonderful location, quiet and very well maintained. We loved staying there.

    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.

    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.

    Nothing . Unfortunately we arrived late and the cottage door was locked from the inside but we called the manager who arrived quickly.

    Very nice cottage with ocean View. Terrace is very nice. Bbq restaurant is ok. Well located to visit the west coast.

    On southwest side of island so great for Port Allen, fishing, Kanapali cruises. But a bit far from Lihue and the northern portion of the island. The cottages are decent but antiquated.

    Beautiful plantation setting on the coast. Quaint cottages. Privacy was a real plus.

    The infrastructure is a bit dated or „rustic“. The chairs on the deck could be a bit more comfortable.

    The Director‘s Cottage is greatly located, you fall asleep with the ocean’s waves.

    Location in Waimea. Cute older cabin in large grounds. Good shower. Nice to sit on balcony.

    The beach has very murky waters because of the river outlet close by.

    Such a beautiful property! As someone who does not like resorts, this is perfect! Separate cottages which makes you feel as if you have your own. Beautiful grounds!

    Cottage was a little dated and one of the aircons smelled a little funky.

    We chose the location to be close to the Canyon, be mindful that there is not much else around, we enjoyed the absence of tourism. Cute cottages, very friendly service, beautiful grounds. Has a fully equipped kitchen in the cottage and a guest laundry in the grounds. Aircon and ceiling fans in every room, cute deck to sit on.

    Nothing really

    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.

    The town of Waimea seemed somewhat depressed. Many businesses closed or run down. Don't know if was seasonal or permanent.

    Laid back and super clean. Loved the simplicity of the cottages yet seemed elequent as if were "top o the line" from an era gone by. So many places we stay (AirBB, etc) like to show off their "trinkets & decor" that it leaves no room to unpack your own items. All the rooms were spacious and very well maintained.

    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.
