Imagine spending your vacation not just in another place, but in another time. Come, turn back the clock to old Hawaii and enjoy the quiet serenity of a bygone age in paradise. Awaken to a fresh sea breeze coming in off the blue pacific. Your plantation cottage is absolutely delightful with its ceiling fans and period furniture of mahogany, rattan, and wicker. It was originally built in the early 1900's and has been completely restored and updated with modern amenities and conveniences. Explore amongst the coconut groves right outside your door. Picnic under a cool banyan tree. Walk the private tranquil lawns bordering the sea.

Live like the plantation owners themselves if you choose. The Alan E. Faye' Manager's Estate is an exquisite period piece, a two-story house built circa 1900. This fine, fully restored, five-bedroom, 4,000 square feet house is beautifully appointed, offering a comfortable oceanfront lanai, two dining areas, five bedrooms, and a large living room.

All cottages offer private lanais (porches), for relaxing and listening to the rustle of palms in the gentle trade winds as you sip a tropical drink and congratulate yourself for being in this peaceful, unhurried hideaway, this uniquely nostalgic part of old Hawaii.

One feature of Aston Waimea Plantation Cottages that guests especially enjoy is Aston's famous value. Ever since the day we opened our first hotel nearly fifty years ago, Aston has been renowned for always providing guests with extra special value. Come enjoy the beauty, comforts, and historic delights of Aston Waimea Plantation Cottages.

On the beautiful Garden Isle of Kauai, the historic plantation town of Waimea nestles at the mouth of Waimea Canyon, often called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. It was here that ancient Hawaiian kings lived and greeted Captain James Cook on his 1778 "discovery" of the Hawaiian Islands. Kaumuali'i, the last King of Kauai, initiated the exotic sandalwood trade with China and welcomed the first American missionaries to Waimea. Over the years, sugar cane replaced taro as the chief agricultural crop and, in 1884, Waimea Sugar Mill Company was established. The flourishing mill built cottages for its employees and their families. It is these very cottages -restored and modernized- that have become Aston Waimea Plantation Cottages.
