Located in Waimea, Castle Waimea Country Lodge provides a restaurant, mountain views and free WiFi, 37 km from Statue of King Kamehameha and 48 km from Kohala Historical Sites State Monument.

The lodge offers a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with free toiletries, a hairdryer and shower. There is also a kitchenette in some of the units equipped with a fridge. Comfortable, tasteful upgraded country motel. Very clean and lovely fresh furniture. Waimea was a great little town to escape the tourist trap of Kona and the run down Hilo. We wish we had spent our entire time on the Big Island here.
