Beautiful View • Close to Beach and Close to Town

This is a Hosted Property.
Recently constructed and fully remodeled 700 square foot self-contained living space in a private, separate wing of the house. The bedroom and living areas are filled with light, looking out to gorgeous views of the three mountains - Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa and Hualalai. Enjoy the fully equipped kitchen, dining area, cozy reading nook in the living room, spacious bedroom with walk-in closet, brand new bathroom with walk-in shower, wireless internet and Smart TV (movies, tv shows and music channels). We recently installed A/C for those warmer summer months.

The teak bench in front of the cottage is a perfect place to sit and watch the clouds play over Mauna Kea. Out the back door off the kitchen, there is a new gas barbecue and table and chairs for dining or enjoying sunsets or the bright starry nights. There is also a storage chest full of beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkel gear for your use.

Our 3-acre property has a large house, recently remodeled to include the guest cottage at one end of the house. I live in a separate wing on the other end of the L-shaped home. The two living spaces are separated by a covered lanai with fencing and landscaping providing privacy for each dwelling.

I respect my guestsʻ privacy and enjoy my own. I am also happy to answer questions you may have to help you enjoy your stay on the island. I will be happy to steer you to my favorite restaurants, beaches, walking trails and island adventures.

We enjoy gardening and have planted fruit trees and many flowers that attract abundant bird life. I'm happy to share fruit that is ripe during your stay, including banana, lilikoʻi, mango, papaya, avocado, lemon and lime.

Situated on the 'dry side' of Waimea, we are half way between Kawaihae and Waimea town, ten minutes drive from both. The best beaches on the island are 10-15 minutes away.

Located at 1800 foot elevation, our days are most often sunny and warm with occasional island breezes. There are ceiling fans and air conditioning for additional cooling if needed. Temperatures cool down in the evening - perfect for a good nights sleep. Cardinals, doves, finches and other birds fill our quiet 3-acre property with song.
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be within walking distance of Kahilu Theatre. The cottage offers free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned cottage with kitchen, washing machine, and living room
  • Free WiFi
  • 7 minutes by car from Kahilu Theatre and 11 minutes from Anna Ranch Heritage Center
This cottage offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Kamuela cottage is smoke free.

Gorgeous views
Our stay at Catrinka’s hale was stunning. Every morning I couldn’t believe the breeze coming through, and the views and sounds of nature out every window. It’s a quick drive to Waimea coffee company or Hapuna beach! There were many useful odds and ends as far as kitchen, toiletry, and beach items. Tape and scissors! We swapped pillows for the ones in the closet that were more like ours at home. Any time I needed something I was able to find it, if I wasn’t I knew Catrinka was a phone call away. Would love to stay again!

Catrinka’s Home away from home
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Catrina’s Hideaway this week. She provides all the creature comforts and more and we love the quiet pastoral atmosphere away from the hotel craziness. We woke to birds singing and enjoyed all the beautiful flowers. Check the cupboards and fridge before grocery shopping as many staples are available. Catrinka was a wonderful hostess. A great place to stay!!

The Location is Ideal for going to the villages of the North end of the Island both east and west.
Wonderful for a couple that likes to visit the small town museums and loves the cooler ranch country of Hawaii. We would come back again and again. Catrinka was so accomodating and helpful with everything. Great at hosting. We have been coming to this Island for more than a decade and half, and will continue to do so. This is now our go to location if available.

Peaceful Retreat
This is a great place to retreat to after a day of sightseeing. It is quiet, very clean and has expansive views across to Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. Good restaurants nearby in Waimea. You need a vehicle to get around. The host is very friendly and accommodating. It's not a resort - just what I was looking for!

This little place is just perfect for 2 people. Has everything you need as if you were moving into an apartment! There is even chairs to take to the beach, and there is a nice quiet beach nearby. If you need a nice quiet place off the beaten path and want peace this is it!!! We used the BBQ almost every night so didn’t spend lots of money dining out😀 I would definitely stay here again

You can see billions of stars if you are waking up very early! C. was a perfect host, welcoming, but not intrusive. She gave us valuable information about local activities. The birds at the birdfeeder were highly entertaining. Mahalo nui loa to our host!

Cute house near yummy local spots!
We enjoyed our stay at this cute bungalow. Bed was comfy, loved the reading book and full length mirror in the closest and the views were spectacular and we enjoyed the location! It was close to the beaches and resorts as well as the yummy food places and farmers markets in town. Rental car would be a must though! Only downside is no pool but Spencer Park beach is super close and there’s a smaller more secluded beach next to it through the wooded area that’s awesome and not crowded.

Birds, views and comfort
The photos of this wonderful guest house don’t do it justice. Sometimes when traveling one compromises a bit of comfort for a great location. Not such compromise here! The house was comfortable with everything you need to feel at home. The location was breathtaking with ever changing views of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa and the birds were amazing. Katrinka was warm and welcoming… and if she offers you homemade cookies say yes!

Waimea perfection
What a great Big Island choice! This is a stunning property in a wonderful location. Though the unit is attached to the owner’s home, you’d never know it. It has its own level-in entrance and separate parking area, is completely quiet, and it actually feels like a separate cottage. It is beautifully and comfortably furnished, has an unbelievable number of amenities (even down to a yoga mat!) and the kitchen offers meal supplies like oatmeal, packaged noodles, brown rice, and a drawer full of spices. There is a wide array of small kitchen appliances, pots and pans, and utensils—though a small hot plate replaces a range with cooktop. The home is in a private community with widely spaced residences and large and well-tended properties. Best of all, the view over the scenic uplands and toward Maura Kea is stupendous! If you only want to stay at one place on the island, Waimea is a great choice—not only are the surroundings beautiful, but it offers a wealth of restaurants, is at a refreshingly cool elevation, is about equidistant to both Hilo and Kailua-Kona for exploring, AND it’s only a ten to fifteen minute drive to one of the best beaches on the island! Along with a welcoming and friendly owner, what more could you want?

Lovely stay
Catrinka has a wonderful studio, located half way between the coast and Waimea. She is a gracious and kind host. Communication was fantastic, she gave us fresh fruit from her property to enjoy. The bed is comfy, plenty of storage etc. appreciated the filtered water pitcher. The views of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are beautiful, plenty of birds to watch and bright stars at night. Not having to worry about ac was a bonus staying at 1800 feet elevation. Would definitely return. The only small issue was the WiFi was a little weak, not a big deal unless you are trying to work remotely, which we were not.

Best Value in Waimea
Catrinka's home was a perfect way to experience the north side of the island. It's centrally located with STUNNING views and plenty of space. There was virtually zero traffic around, allowing you to move freely to different locations/activities. Catrinka was very helpful and communicative through the entire check-in and stay. The house was loaded with amenities and accurately described. I would 100% recommend staying here and look forward to visiting again soon! Thank you Catrinka!

Catrinka's property is perfectly situated between Waimea and coastal beaches in a really serene and beautiful area. Gorgeous view of Mauna Kea from the huge picture windows of the living room and bedroom. You have total privacy but Catrinka lives on the property and is very responsive to any inquiry or need. Judging by the guestbook, this is a place visitors often choose to return to, and I can understand why. 5 stars!

Absolutely Great
This is better than 5 star! The location is ideal for exploring the northern part of the island of Hawaii. The property is in an ideal location, about a 10 minute drive to Waimea and a 10 minute drive to a great beach. Waimea has all the services you will need. It also has many fine places to eat. This property is located at an elevation which provides warm days and cools nights. The view from the property is great. Sitting in the living area you can see three mountains in all their glory. The property is clean, comfortable and well maintained. But what really makes this property a 5 star plus is the host. Catrinka is warm and gracious. When you arrive, and throughout your stay, you feel as a welcome guest. She knows how to ensure your experience in her rental unit is purely pleasant.
