We spent the first half of our Kauai trip here...Didn’t regret it at all. Fantastic location if you want to hike Waimea Canyon-it’s literally 5 min from the park. Also, lots of restaurants in walking distance in the little town of Waimea. Perfect place to stay to explore the Western Side of the island. Way better than staying in touristy Poipu-which is only a short drive from this place as well.
