Top Hotels Near Waimea Canyon in Waimea from AU$361

My husband, 3-year-old son, and I spent the most magical week at ‘Hale Huna’ while exploring the North Shore of Kauai. I can’t begin to express what a wonderful property this was for our little family. It was the perfect size, location, and offered all the amenities we needed to make our vacation special and easy. This off-the-beaten-path location offers accessibility, as well as peace & quiet and an absolutely gorgeous yard that feels like your own private botanic gardens. We loved having our coffee and breakfast outside each morning and really enjoying the variety of plants, flowers, and geckos. Most importantly, if felt very safe for our little guy who’s curiosity sometimes gets the best of him. We used the den with twin bed as his room. And the 2nd queen bedroom as a dressing room. Beyond being functional, the general aesthetics of the property are top notch. Kristi’s taste is exception! The furnishings, decor, and art featured throughout the home were so inviting and unique! It felt like we were staying at a high-end boutique hotel. The AC was a wonderful perk and the kitchen was well equipped. We never had that “oh shoot, we need…” feeling. The provided beach gear (i.e. Tommy Bahama chairs, beach umbrella, boogie board, surf board, cooler, towels, etc) were super useful, too! Without question, we’d stay here again. We kept saying, this place is really setting the bar for future vacations!

Very cozy house.

Few things are more satisfactory than realizing that you can have a wonderful vacation without ever leaving your lodging. We rented this cottage to celebrate a decade of marriage. It was a fantastic choice. The cottage was cozy and breezy and super comfortable. The jungle and mountain views from the couch, the deck, and the yard were amazing. It rained a couple days and it was a wonderful place to spend a lazy morning or even an entire day just watching the jungle drama unfold. We strolled up and down the road enjoying all the views and massive variety of plants and flowers. We did make trips to local beaches and to town, and it was wonderful being so close to everything. Practically speaking, everything was smooth. Jeffrey was responsive to the couple questions we had. Koko the property manager stopped in to say hi and offer help if needed. The house has everything you need, from nice towels and cooking utensils to beach chairs, boogie boards, and coolers. The bedding was super comfy and the couch was great for reading. Not much else to say, I would absolutely do it again.

This is the perfect place for an anniversary or honeymoon. The area is quiet and beautiful, right on the beach. Every morning we woke up to coffee (coffee machine is in the room) and a sunrise over the ocean on our private porch. The room was luxurious and with a full kitchen (and coffee shop and restaurant on site) we were able to take our time in the morning. We left the sliding door open and there was a lovely breeze all day along with three fans that kept us cool. We also took advantage of all of the local produce and grocery stores and cooked many of our own dinners as well. Having time to relax together without kids and distractions was just what we needed. The shuttle to Ke'e beach and Haena park/hiking picked us up in the parking lot (you have to email them ahead) which was very convenient. They also have a free shuttle into Hanalei. The staff were so nice and welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be back!

We aren’t the hotel type. From the moment we booked this seaside cottage, we knew we had made the right decision. Our hosts kept in touch with us for literally 3 months as we monitored the pandemic situation. When we arrived, we knew we had found a little piece of Heaven. Seclusion, peace and quiet, and beauty. As we leave for the mainland this morning, we are already planning next years trip back to the Nene Nest.

Great location for access to hiking in the canyon area. Beautifully remodeled, full kitchen with any and everything you need for cooking! Just wish we had more time there!

We loved this place. Giant sliding doors that opened up to a large screened in deck made it feel like we were sleeping outside without dealing with bugs. The view was amazing, and we loved sitting out on the deck with our morning coffee. There is a Keurig and a drip coffee maker, a blender, and a coffee grinder there. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, plates, and utensils. The only complaint we had was the pack of dogs that would bark loudly every evening, often times into night while we were trying to sleep. Closing the doors helped, but we loved sleeping with the open doors. If you are not a sound sleeper, bring ear plugs (you'll want them for the roosters even if you stay somewhere away from dogs). Other than that, we loved the location and view. Overall, we were very pleased with this selection!

I was so happy with the stay. We visited several other areas of the island and felt none of them compared to the cottages.

From the start communications with the Property Manager was outstanding and quick. Since we were on the Island doing work at PMRF the location was perfect, within walking distance of anything we needed. Two Grocery type stores within a couple blocks. Well furnished and occupants of other condos were very friendly and helpful. Thanks Henry for an outstanding stay.

My family, including adult children, 6 & 15 yr old grandchildren, had a wonderful vacation. Close to the beaches & hikes- locals told us about some fantastic beaches. Walking distance to groceries & restaurants. Great view of the black sand beach and wonderful sunsets to remember forever. I would highly recommend the property. Would definitely come again!
