My wife and I just spent a very comfortable four weeks in Lloyd & Loring’s well-equipped cottage. The layout of the property, and the very quiet neighborhood, provide for a very private experience. The kind and thoughtful hosts are discreet, yet very responsive if you need anything. You have all the benefits of being close to Waimea (farmers markets, restaurants, pubs, cafes, and supermarkets) while still being just a 15-minute drive to some of the nicest beaches on the island. At an altitude of about 2000 feet, you can expect evenings to be about 10 degrees cooler, and breezier, than on the coast, great for sleeping. Excellent stargazing as well. Highly recommended.
