“Our Premier Cottage Collection features four of our larger homes built between the 1880s and 1930s. Each is unique in floor plan and furnishings, yet each retains the charm of a vintage Hawaii plantation cottage” said Gregg Enright, general manager, Waimea Plantation Cottages. “These homes open a window into the Kauai’s past, offering an enriching stay with family or friends.”

The Premier Cottage Collection homes can accommodate 6–10 guests each. To introduce these to travelers, the Premier Cottage Collection is available to book for a minimum of five nights, with no charge for the fifth night. Learn more about the offer.
