Plantation offers the grace of yesteryear for de-stressing today
A 30-acre historic property on Kauai's west coast, Aston Waimea Plantation Cottages is a step back in time. Lovingly restored vintage houses are outfitted with period furnishings in rattan, wicker and mahogany. Each cottage is uniquely decorated and offers its own charm. While a handful of cottages are oceanfront, most are set among the coconut palm and banyan trees, fronting graceful manicured lawns. A restaurant, pool and spa add contemporary comforts, but the draw here is a feeling of being transported to a simpler, quieter time.Aston Waimea Plantation Cottages Rooms

Roosters ruin a rustic paradise
The cottages and grounds were wonderful, and the staff was warm and conscientious. The place has a very authentic, relaxed Hawaiian feeling. But the roosters start crowing at 4 am and don't let up until well past 8. It was so noisy that we had to shut all the windows and wear ear plugs in order to get any sleep. Kauai is gorgeous, and this location would have been great value for the money, but unless you are prepared for the noise, you'll be disappointed. Also be aware that the beach at the property is too dangerous for swimming, so you'll have to drive in order to get in the ocean.

A quiet, clean and relaxing place to come back to after a day around the island. Be warned: there are chickens and roosters everywhere on the island. Roosters crow. A lot.

Beach house in paradise
It's like staying at a friend's old beach house in paradise. Little private cottages right on the ocean, gorgeous sunsets, relaxed atmosphere, nice staff. Sure, the paint is peeling, the ceiling fan squeaks, and a rooster wakes you up before dawn. But who cares?! Start the day early and get out to the canyon or whatever you're doing that day. The restaurant is great, with a lovely verandah, excellent food and local musicians. It's the place to be in Waimea.

For lunch, eat at Island Tacos, then get shave ice at JoJo's. The fish tacos are excellent, and JoJos may be the best shave ice anywhere.

Best Location to avoid the crowd
This quiet resort on the west side of the island is the ideal spot to enjoy how Kauai used to be. The cottages are nice, simple and nostalgic. The grounds are well maintained. The beach is interesting but not for swimming and walking is an adventure due to all the driftwood. People made bonfires at night by the beach and you can grill out next to your cottage. The food at The Grove was just OK, but the location can't be beat. You will drive a bit to get there, but this place is worth the effort.

Make Kauai Your Home Away from Home
The cottage was quaint and very Hawaii. You feel as though you've gone back in time and our on the farm...in a good way. Footed bathtub made for a nice soak after a long day of hiking. Full kitchen was the best part as we cooked all our meals. Stopped at Costco from the airport and stocked up for our week stay. The beach is not ideal to swim in as it's murky and the westside is very far away from anything else. Not much to do. The location being the biggest downfall.

Relaxing, Quaint & Peaceful
Loved the cottages. We could seek out adventure then return to our "home away from home" and kick back. It was wonderful having a kitchen and the privacy of a detached building. The cottage was well stocked and the grounds were great. It was quiet and very relaxing.

Walk into town to the market and see what the fresh catch is. Pick it up along with match-light charcoal and some fresh veggies and a mango and you have a perfect mealk for the evening with a cold one on the lanai.

Quality Jane
Barely Updated Cottage
With a package we assumed we would get a "basic cottage" but this one was disappointing. It is one of the old cottages, very musty smelling and seemed only minimally updated. This old cottage had small, dark rooms. we closed off two bedrooms so the old rattling and loud air unit would cool off just the main room. Alot of the cool air escaped through all the open slats in the floors and walls. It looked and smelled like "Goodwill" -- funky at best. A open shed in the back had a dripping sink and sharp wood and nails sticking out - dangerous for kids. The plastic chairs on the lawn were covered in dirt. Most other cottages looked very clean and updated with nice outdoor areas. Also, what is this extra amenity fee? It seems "over the top" and an extra fee for what should be included in the overall cost. On the plus side the staff was courteous and the grounds were lovely and quiet. The town of Waimea is a walk around the bend.

Not Applicable
Since the beach at the plantation is not good for swimming we drove to various beaches around the island. It is advised not to keep valuables in your rental and our glove compartment did not lock - leaving one of us sitting on the beach holding our driver's license, money, etc. while the other one swam.

Beautiful setting
Wonderfully restored cottages on beautiful grounds. A little off of the beaten track (about 20 miles from Lihue), but quiet, and refreshing.
