Inn Details
Waianuhea (cool, soft fragrance, as of upland forests) provides soothing, peaceful, and luxurious accommodations while combining a sense of remote retreat with modern convenience and sumptuous furnishings. Experience our staff’s warm aloha and dedication to your comfort and relaxation. Sleep in comfy, cozy beds with soft to the touch sheets. Be served a full breakfast and fresh hot coffee while gazing at the summit of Mauna Kea. Enjoy a picnic on the grounds or fix yourself a light lunch from our meal and snack bar. Curl up with a good book, watch a current or classic DVD in your room, play a game of checkers. Peruse our little gift shop. Go out for a hike or bike ride, just out the driveway. Come back to your private oasis and soak in the tub or meet up with other guests at the eight-person spa. Schedule a massage or facial. Find company and conversation at wine hour along with delicious wines and pupus. Drive to Waimea for world class dining or have a private dinner catered in your room. In the evening, you’ll find your room tidied and the bed turned down (with a special treat) in preparation for your restful sleep.
