White Water is a sophisticated and luxurious interpretation of Cambria and the laid back Central Coast lifestyle. Cambria remains one of the few undiscovered gems along the coast of California. Situated just south of Big Sur and north of Santa Barbara, Cambria is a small town situated directly on miles of undeveloped beach and land along the Pacific Ocean. Just steps from Moonstone Beach, White Water has an idyllic setting and picturesque backdrop. A short bike ride to downtown, guests can easily enjoy all the restaurants and shopping nearby. The lobby lounge offers a wide selection of local wines, craft beers, ciders, and spirits, as well as a selection of small bites and share plates for enjoyment. From a selection of local cheeses and meats, to our signature fondue, Chef Jason Niederkorn has curated a wide selection of favorite offerings.

We honestly can't say enough good things about our stay at Whitewater. The staff is beyond amazing. Everyone we encountered (Armando, Bryce, Mario & Leah) were all so friendly, kind, helpful and courteous. The morning coffee and treats were absolutely delicious and such a fun thing to wake up to every day delivered in a cute little basket right outside our door. The room was spacious and clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The outdoor area at the inn is so fun with lots of cool outdoor spaces in which to sit and relax, tiki torches in the evening, and fire pits. We are already planning our next stay and cannot wait to come back. Thank you, Armando, Bryce, Mario and Leah for making our time at Whitewater so amazing!

This property is amazing and in a beautiful location. A small boutique place with 5 Star service. The room was very nice, very thoughtfully decorated and just a few steps from Moonstone Beach. The drinks, desserts and smores in the evening are a great touch and in the morning they deliver a breakfast basket. It is very pet friendly!

My girlfriend and I were doing a coastal California road trip to celebrate our 5-year anniversary, and we wanted to stay in Cambria for a night. White Water stood out as one of the most beautiful lodgings in the area when we were looking, and the hotel manager Bryce, made our stay exceptional. He gave us great recommendations for the area and was very communicative when we were booking. Would definitley stay there again!

WARNING! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE. My husband and I planned a decade birthday weekend for 2 in Cambria centered around our premier ocean view suite at White water ( $1000/night). We booked directly on their site, then were directed to Hotels 1 for final booking. We had a confirmed and paid contract then less than 48 hrs before our trip were told that our reservation was cancelled! That "hotel over overbooked" . At that last notice there were no other comparable accommodations available anywhere in Cambria. We had to cancel the entire trip. Other than a "we're sorry" there were no concessions made by this hotel nor an offer to even try for other dates. We were saddened and outraged. Will never attempt to book this hotel again.
