Waineke Cabin Rules

 

Right to Reserve the Cabins:

 

The use of the cabins is restricted to Hawaii Conference UCC ministers and active lay members (and their families) or any church affiliated with the conference. Priority for use of the cabins are:

 

  1. Ministers and their families
  2. Church groups
  3. Active lay members and their families

 

Note: Regardless of advanced booking, there is a two-week preference for any UCC minister who actively pastors a church on the island of Kauai. In other words, a pastor can call up to two weeks prior to your reservation and he/she will get first priority. This is a stipulation of the donor of the original cabin.

 

Reservations:

 

Reservations are made only through the cabin coordinator, currently Helen Hoeckmann-Percival at Waimea UCC (338-9962).

 

The cabins may be reserved for a maximum of one week.

 

Confirmation of the reservation will be given two weeks prior to the requested date and only after full payment and the mandatory Indemnification Agreement is received. Please note that we are not able to refund any payments if the the cabin user defaults on the reservation in part or in full.

 

Those with an unpaid balance from a previous rental will not be allowed make further reservations.

 

Keys will not be released until full payment and the mandatory Indemnification Agreement is received. Keys will be picked up from and returned to Helen Hoeckmann-Percival at the Waimea UCC on Ola Road in Waimea.

Upon Arrival: Please note that pets and open campfires are not allowed!
