Waimea Plantation Cottages

Delightful cottages, kind people, great location for hiking and quiet, really cool little township with character and people. Shame it was really dirty and needed some basic updating, you can keep the charm with some simple cleaning and upgrading.

Waimea Plantation cottages is a glorified motel. Cottages are run down with dirty floors. Good ocean breeze but hard to enjoy with windows that barely operate and clearly are not designed to be open. Location and staff are great, however, for the price I would not recommend at all.

UGH! The pictures don’t come close to the reality of this so called resort. What a disappointment. Our room smelled musty, had mold in the shower, windows didn’t close, table and chairs ragged, and in truth needed to be totally renovated. The only saving grace was the comfortable bed and sheets. We informed the management but there was nothing to be done.

This accommodation was a dream come true. It is a truely magical setting that you feel so lucky to be staying in. The cottages are absolutely gorgeous - I loved their spaciousness, beautifully presented, the fact they had older fittings and fixtures that were made to last from years ago - was so cool. The kitchen was well stocked with pots n pans. They table had a lovely welcome package of biscuits, shell necklaces and a bag which was lovely. The check in staff were so professional and welcoming. The estate was beautifully and presented - the grounds were so beautiful and the grasses, trees and gardens all beautifully tended - they whole place was immaculately presented. We didn't end up using the pool, which was a pity - I loved the umbrellas. All the facilities down by the beach, were so lovely - the hammock etc was so nice. I caught a couple of beautiful sun rises and sunsets. Pure bliss. Our dvd machine didn't work when we tried to use it. We didn't reallise till after 8pm when the service staff have left - but they were so good - they tried to help and a lovely guy came to see if he could fix it. The next day they replaced the machine - we do like to relax as a family and watch a movie after a busy day of sightseeing - so it was a bit of a bummer, but they did everything they could to try and fix it - what more could you want! It was SO NICE to be away from all the busy hotels and tourist areas. Waimea town is gorgeous - so is Hanapepe - there was a great supermarket/shop about half way to Poipu that was well stocked - Big Save Market at Ele'ele as well as Waimea itself. I can't rave about WPC enough - if you have a chance to stay there - take it - you won't regret it!

Located on the less populated western side of the island, the Waimea Plantation Cottages was a wonderful getaway. We had a 2 bedroom ocean front cottage that was less than 50 yards from the beach. Our cottage was isolated from other surrounding cottages. The cottages themselves are still a bit 'rustic,' but have all the amenities you would need. The restaurant and coffee truck on site were both great and anyone staying here must stop at JoJo's shave Ice for the best shave ice on the island! We would highly recommend staying here!
