The cottage

Garden Cottage is a ground-floor studio for two, built in 1952 and remodeled in 2021. The four-poster queen bed faces a direct view of the Wailua River. Hardwood floors, a vaulted ceiling and a tile shower for two set the tone, and the kitchenette has a breakfast bar for simple meals. Step outside and the shared garden is all around you.

Good to know

No lanai. Kitchenette, not a full kitchen.
