Castle Waimea Country Lodge  

In historic Waimea (Kamuela) at the base of Mauna Kea, Waimea Country Lodge sits in Paniolo (Hawaii cowboy) country amid cool grasslands. It’s a short walk to Waimea Park, Parker Ranch Center and Isaacs Art Center, about 12 miles from Mauna Kea Beach and Hāpuna Beach, and roughly 2 miles from Kamuela (MUE) airport.

This rustic 21–22 room country lodge serves spacious rooms and studios with kitchenettes, scenic mountain views, flat‑screen TVs, desks and coffee/tea makers. Expect down‑home décor, shower/tub combos, complimentary toiletries, hair dryers and daily housekeeping; some units include microwaves and cooking utensils.

Wake up to cool mountain air and complimentary coffee and doughnuts, then head out for nearby ecotours, hiking, mountain biking or a round at Waimea Country Club Golf Course. The property offers free self parking, designated smoking areas and complimentary wireless internet, with easy access to Mauna Kea for legendary stargazing.
