It’s a place where lifelong memories are made, whether you’re traveling as a couple, gathering the whole family, or introducing your children or grandchildren to the wonders of Hawaiʻi for the first time.

Nestled along the island’s western shore, Waimea Plantation Cottages offers the perfect home base for exploring West Kauaʻi.
