Our Cottage is located on the very lush and beautiful Waipio Botanical Garden, a charming oasis for a couple or family of 3 interested in submerging themselves in the magic of Waipio Valley. Enjoy the many botanicals that grow on the lower Waipio Gardens Estate.
The Cottage has an off-grid solar system with a fully functioning kitchenette, including a cooktop stove, sink, and refrigerator, and a small bathroom with on-demand hot water, shower, toilet, vanity/sink, as well as a spacious covered front porch for relaxing and enjoying the sounds of the nearby year-round stream and trade winds whispering in the amazing tropical trees.
Enjoy a 5-minute walk to Nanaeu Waterfalls where you can swim in its refreshing waters, or a 40-minute magical walk on the Historic Kings Trail will take you to the infamous Waipio Black Sand Beach!
Waipio Cottage is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the amazing and sacred Waipio Valley.
Disclaimer: 95% of the time the road to the property is accessible, however, there is a small chance of the road being inaccessible seasonally. A full refund is available for dates when the property is inaccessible. Property owners are not responsible for events associated with guests' delayed arrival or departure due to extreme weather.
We have been successful in getting all of our guests out of the valley in time for their flights with no delays. However, we recommend guests arrange additional accommodations on the Island for a day at the end of their stay to ensure a smooth transition to the airport and alleviate the stress of catching flights on a timely basis.
WAIPIO ACCESS UPDATE:
Due to the recent Hawaii County Proclamation Rules regarding access into Waipio Valley, all tourists, including our guests to Waipio Gardens unless they are residents of Hawaii and hold a valid Hawaii driver's license are required to be shuttled into Waipio Valley until the County improves the Waipio Valley access road.
*Included in the listing rate is one free round-trip shuttle into and out of the Valley on your check-in and check-out days. Rental vehicles can be parked at our personal home, located about 5 minutes from the Waipio Lookout where we have a designated guest parking area.
We understand that many of our guests may want to make day trips out of the Valley to explore other parts of the Island. We ask that you please schedule these day trips ahead of time with Kristi and Sukumar so that they can plan accordingly to accommodate your shuttles. These additional shuttles are priced at $200 per in-and-out trip.
Please feel free to message us with any questions you have. :)
Mahalo for your understanding!
We look forward to having you as our guests!
