Joan's guest room is a good value for the price. It had everything I needed and was very clean. I especially appreciated her loan of a beach chair and towel, the generously-stocked fridge, and her offer of the backyard as a place to sit and/or eat. The room was a little tight. One window looked out on greenery with a glimpse of Waimea's beautiful hills. The location is about five minutes from most of the town's shops and restaurants and about 20 minutes from some of the world's great beaches. Thanks, Joan.
