Great location to explore the whole island, especially if you want to hike in the Waimea area and enjoy the Poipu beach (sun bathing and swimming next to monk seals and sea turtles). Cooking is possible, but there is only salt and pepper, no oil. Try to air the room as much as possible, otherwise the fire alarm might go off. We would totally recommend to stay with Pete, we had a wonderful time and would love to come again.
