Nestled along the breathtaking coastline, this exquisite property boasts 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms within its expansive 4,300 sq. ft. layout across two levels. Carefully restored to honor the legacy of Hawaii's plantation era, this Craftsman-style lodge was originally constructed in 1923 for the manager of a thriving sugar cane plantation and dairy.
Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a spacious living room, an intimate den, a formal dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen designed for culinary delights.

For your convenience, the carport accommodates two vehicles and includes a washer and dryer.
One of the most remarkable highlights of the property is the majestic 100-foot-tall Banyan tree that graces the lawn beside the house. The interior is adorned with comfortable furnishings reflective of Hawaiian style, complemented by distinctive artifacts from the plantation days. Bedrooms are distributed across both floors, showcasing the timeless built-in storage bureaus and closets typical of Craftsman homes.

Surrounded by lush gardens, verdant lawns, and unobstructed ocean vistas, this lovely abode is ideal for multi-generational families, lively wedding parties, or groups of friends seeking a memorable getaway.
The sprawling Waimea Plantation Resort, covering 43 acres, stretches along a stunning 2-mile-long black-sand walking beach. As a guest of the Manager's House, you will enjoy full access to all resort amenities, including front-desk check-in, optional housekeeping with prior notice, an oceanfront pool, sand volleyball court, shuffleboard court, and complimentary DVD player with recently released movies available for pickup in the lobby. You can unwind in hammocks positioned near the beach, offering a perfect spot for relaxation or watching captivating sunsets.
Your adventure doesn't end there; the road leading to Waimea Canyon and Koke’e State Park is nearby, providing striking viewpoints along the way, extensive hiking trails, and a visitor's center detailing the region's rich history. A short walk or drive will take you into Waimea Town, where you can savor eclectic dining options and shopping or embark on a self-guided walking history tour. Within a ten-minute drive, you can visit quaint Hanapepe Town, home to acclaimed art galleries, the famous swinging bridge, and a variety of boutiques and restaurants. To the west lies Kekaha Beach, the longest white sand beach in Hawaii, while to the east is Salt Pond Beach, known for its protected swimming area. Both beaches are monitored by lifeguards, ensuring your safety during leisure time.
This distinctive property promises an unparalleled vacation experience in Hawaii. We look forward to welcoming you as our esteemed guests at the historic Manager's Cottage soon.
Note on Beaches: The Waimea River flows into the ocean about a mile east of the property, carrying silt from the canyon. The currents deposit this silt along the shore in front of the beach, creating a unique coastal environment. However, two swimmable beaches with lifeguard stations are within reach: Kekaha Beach, a mere five-minute drive to the west, and Salt Pond Beach near Hanapepe Town, featuring a lovely protected swimming area with picnic tables and restrooms.
