Exceeded all our expectations. Serene setting, well furnished and probably the cleanest place I have ever stayed - far better than hotels. Daily replenishment of papaya and lime, starfruit, bananas, OJ, milk, granola and eggs from the back yard, plus Kona coffee and a peach tea my wife loved. Only regret is that we did not have time to make... More

My wife and I recently stayed 4 nights at the Waimea garden cottage. We chose to stay in the town of Waimea as a home base for seeing the north and west parts of the island. The cottage was fantastic and above our expectations. The cottage had everything, kitchen area, wood fireplace, small seating area, flat screen tv, comfy bed,... More

This was our second trip to the Big Island and returning to Waimea Gardens was one of our best decisions in planning this trip. Barbara and Charlie, our delightful hosts, made us feel like family returning after a long absence. The cottage was spotless, the decor was tasteful and the fresh fruits and bread were always there for breakfast. The... More

We just returned from a lovely vacation on the Big Island, highlighted by our stay at the Waimea Gardens Cottage. We stayed in the largest cottage, and just loved it. The bathroom is heavenly, including lots of thick towels, spa products, and the best smelling sandalwood soap I've ever used, the bed is extraordinary, and the housekeeping service is splendid....

We stayed four nights in the "Waimea Cottage" and can highly recommend it. It felt like a second home. There is plenty of room, everything was very clean and nicely decorated. We liked the fact that we got to do our own breakfast, on our own schedule. The fridge is re-stocked every day with fresh fruits, cereals and their own... More

We stayed in the studio cottage and found the room to be excellent. The studio is decorated with many built-ins and is stylish and modern. The large bed, light and airy feel in the room and bathroom, and the small kitchenette exceeded our expectations. There is plenty of space and even a small outdoor sitting area with a small table...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful B&B. Our room was very nicely decorated with gorgeous woodwork and was private but also bright and airy. Hosts Barbara and Charlie were very welcoming, generous with advice about where to eat nearby, and flexible when we requested a late check out time. We loved it and would love to go back... More

Let me start by saying I am from the State of Hawaii and have stayed at the resorts along the Kona Coast before--but needed to stay in Waimea this time due to a wedding nearby and it's great location. The Waimea Gardens was a nice break from the pricey resorts, with tons of people. It was a beautiful quiet place... More

We enjoyed Barbara and Charlie's hospitality for 3 nights in early August in their garden studio. It is beautifully finished and spotlessly clean, and served perfectly as our oasis for the northern portion of our Big Island vacation. We loved our self serve breakfasts (Barbara would stock the fridge with fresh fruit, granola, bread, eggs, milk and juice). The king... More
