Waimea is a beautiful quaint village near the northern end of the big island of Hawaii. Rural in character but loved by many. It's great cattle country with Parker Ranch and many others smaller ranches in the area. It's only 40 miles to Kona or a short flight to Honolulu.

Nice nature walk right in the middle of town, starting just behind the France-Canada-Hawaii Observatory offices; two nice grocery stores (we preferred the KTA Super Stores Waimea due to the excellent produce and take out sushi and sandwiches). Loved L& & BBQ, FORC, Moa Kitchen, Merriman's, Hawaiian Style Cafe, Kamuela Kitchen & Coffee Bar. Wonderful day trip to Honoka'a, cute town, good shopping. Wonderful half-day trip to Hawai'i Tropical Bioreserve & Gardens - one of best we've visited. Vanilla Farm tour fun. Enjoyed the park & picnic area at Honaunau National Historical Park - great parking areas, clean restrooms, nice little gift shop, all for free entry if you remember to take your National Park Annual Pass; if you don't, for $30 you get a week's pass. So enjoyed the Fair Winds Snorkel 1/2 day trip to Captain Cook Memorial, still wonderful snorkeling after our first trip 30 years ago.

I'll remember Waimea as the place with clean air, amazing views, and having a perfectly-comfortable temperature. Being only an hour from Hilo or Kona, the climate in Waimea is a perfect mix of each climate. There are many good places to eat and a wonderful brewery, seving good beer and food. Waimea is easy to get around and the traffic, while we were there, is minimal.

I liked being able to walk around town, everything was in walking distance. The cool Waimea breeze in the morning and that old country feeling, was great! We also were able to go next door to check out the wonderful locally made art work, and the tasty Waimea food at the Parker Farmer's Market, visiting the farmer's market was the highlight of my trip. I was also able to find some cool tea sets at the antique shop down the road, and at the reuse, recyclable store, all in walking distance.

An historic village on the slopes of two volcanoes.
An historic village on the slopes of two volcanoes. Merriman's restaurant is there and is rated the best restaurant on the Big Island, so it's a must go. We saw Robi K. and the Hawaiian Band at the Kihilu Theater and really enjoyed that. Did bird watching with a very good local expert, Lance Tanino, in the immediate area and saw lots of species including the Hawaiian owl Pueo. The weather there tends to be cool, but the beach is only 10 miles away. The Waimea area has always been my favorite drive on the Big Island, with some parts looking like rolling hills in New England.

Waimea is a beautiful, historic town.
Waimea is a beautiful, historic town. The people are friendly, kind and hospital. It is at a higher altitude, so the town is cooler than at sea-level. The views from above [Kohala Mountains] is breath-taking.
Our room was very spacious and felt more like a home than just a hotel room. Loved the cozy blankets, the kitchen counter with stools, the shoe rack and a nice place to hang clothing. The kitchenette was outfitted with everything we needed. Plenty of power outlets for charging. The ceiling fan was just right. Very well situated in town -- close to everything! We appreciated the recommendation of Ippy's for dinner. Food was delicious and very affordable!
We liked that it was private and had a secluded patio. It was also convenient to the places we wanted to visit. The host was responsive. There were supplies for continental breakfast: cereal and toast with butter and jam. Also coffee and tea.
Waimea has a much cooler climate than Kona that we had just left, but there were plenty of blankets, and we were quite comfortable. The furnishings were attractive. It was a nice place for the price.
It is a lodge/motel, located at an altitude of 800 meters, if i remember correctly.
The rooms are very large and really well furnished.
My wife and I have dined several times at the house, using the room's kitchen: great experience.
I probably had the best sleep in Hawaii on those beds, also thanks to the the fact that in the evening/night in Waimea it gets chillier.
Friendly staff. Nice kitchenette in newly remodeled suite. Great having real dishes, silverware, even decent knives. Nice place outside to take your coffee. Room felt spacious. Convenient to drive right up to room. Short walk to grocery store/Starbucks. Would have a been a great location for going to Mauna Kea, which was my intention in booking in Waimea.
Really lovely motel. Would stay her again for sure. We were lucky that we stayed on a Friday night, with the Waimea farmers markets on the next morning at the school next door. There are also great restaurants walking distance, including acclaimed FORC which is right next door. Waimea is a lovely town, really loved it there.
Room was very clean, comfortable and spacious. Centrally located in Waimea town and easy access to shops, restaurants and the farmers market located next door. Plenty of parking and great facilities to have your own BBQ. The wifi worked really well and shower pressure was great.
The location is ideal. There are restaurants, a grocery store, and a great coffee stand all within a mile or less of the hotel. The place is well kept, clean, and easy to find with ample parking.
Great value for the money. Spacious, clean, room and bathroom with chill staff. This lodging is significantly cheaper than other options. The central location in Waimea town is unbeatable.
The room was just completely remodeled - very clean and updated. Nearby good restaurants . Closed to hiking area in Mauna Kea , Waipi'o & Polulu valley.
