A great place to stay. This was the 2nd time that I stayed with Joan. The room is bright, very clean and has its own entrance. There is a fridge (with some food) and a microwave. I had everything I needed. Waimea can get a bit cold during the night in January but there is an additional blanket and a heater to keep you warm. Good for an independent traveler. There are also good restaurants not too far away.
