If you’re planning to stay in Waimea, this is the prime spot. These rebuilt plantation cottages from the 1930s and 1940s once housed sugarcane laborers. The 57 tin-roofed, clapboard, pastel-painted sweethearts with wide porches and rattan seating are scattered over a wide lawn, studded with golden bamboo, swaying coconut groves and banyans.
Larger cottages are close enough to catch ocean views and breezes. The golden-sand beach here is great for walking, less so for swimming. Oceanside yoga classes, massages and spa services available.
