We loved staying here! The location was amazing right across the street from the water. We adored the town of Waimea and it was a perfect spot to explore the canyon and then head up to Polihale Beach. The area is definitely more on the "local" end of the spectrum compared to Pouipu which is about 30 minutes away, but we always prefer to really explore areas and get out of tourist bubbles. If local is what you tend to look for on a trip we would 100% recommend staying here!
