The  landscaped grounds are wondrous in every season: three acres of rolling lawns create a park like setting where hapu'u* tree ferns and ohia* trees mingle with cymbidium orchids, magnolias and hydrangeas. 

Private, secluded and beautiful, the rolling meadows, tropical plants and native flowers provide an oasis of tranquility for your stay. Ideal for nature walks, picnics, star gazing or just soaking in the ambiance, the grounds provide the perfect setting for Mountain House and Hydrangea Cottage.

For those who take the time to explore the grounds, delightful surprises abound. Intriguing artifacts from exotic cultures fascinate, antique park benches invite you to sit and contemplate while all around nature helps the soul resuscitate.

From the grounds, guests have a panoramic view of Hawaii's tallest mountain, the snow capped peak of Mauna Kea*.

a = ah as in "blah."
e = ay as in "hay."
i = ee as in "jeep."
o = oh as in, well as in "oh."
u = ooh as in "ooh-la-la."

And remember, every letter is pronounced. A'a = "ah, ah." Incidentally, a'a means rough, stony and usually refers to the rough and sharp type of lava as opposed to pahoehoe, the smooth type of lava, also found in Hawaii.

*hapu'u are an endemic tree fern found in many native forests.

*ohia are native trees of the mountain apple and lehua blossom families.

*Mauna Kea means White Mountain and is often snow capped.
