Welcome to Waimea Country Lodge
Enjoy small-town charm and warm Hawaiian hospitality at Waimea Country Lodge. Our quaint and rustic lodge, located in the heart of historic Waimea Town on Hawaii’s Big Island, offers spacious and comfortable rooms in a family-friendly environment.
Nestled at the foot of the Kohala Mountains and surrounded by rolling green pastures, Waimea is a ranching and farming community steeped in the history of the paniolo, or Hawaiian cowboy. Thanks to our upcountry location and 2,600-foot elevation, mornings are refreshingly cool and crisp, while afternoons are bright and sunny with the occasional misty rain shower to keep things green.
Waimea is a thriving town full of local culture and delicious food, from award-winning restaurants to bustling farmers markets. It’s also the perfect starting point for many Big Island adventures – an opportunity to explore some of Hawaii’s most scenic landscapes on foot, by car or even on horseback!
Arrive as Guests, Leave as Family
We’re located in the center of Waimea Town, within easy walking distance of the area’s most popular shopping and dining, as well as entertainment options like Kahilu Theatre. We offer 22 rooms and studios in a quiet, lodge-style setting, many with kitchenette facilities. Our genuine hospitality and warm, friendly atmosphere are the centerpieces of our guest experience. Once you stay with us, you are part of our ohana, or family.
