What a lovely stay in Catrinka’s Waimea cottage. Each morning, we awoke to a beautiful sunrise over the mountain, which I watched from the bench outside while listening to the birds and drinking coffee. Catrinka is extremely thoughtful and has included all of the little things a traveler might need- bug spray, shampoo/conditioner, laundry line for hanging wet bathing suits, a cooler, tons of snorkel gear, etc. The kitchen is well stocked and the location is prime for great farmer’s markets and easy trips to KTA. Waimea is a great jumping off point for the Kohala beaches and also exploring the wet side. This is our 6th trip to the Big Island and we will definitely be back!
