Description
First built for Governor John Kuakini in 1838, this elegant house was used as a vacation home of the Hawaiian royal family after they acquired it in 1844. Since 1925, it has been owned by the Hawaiian government and managed by the Daughters of Hawaii, a group dedicated to the preservation of native Hawaiian culture and language. The home has been carefully restored and contains many objects and furniture belonging to the Hawaiian royal family. The palace and the lush, stately grounds which surround it contain a large stone pool enclosing a private spring, and a Pohaku Likanaka stone, which was a special stone used for uniquely Hawaiian type of hanging. Two beautiful lanais on the back side of the palace overlook the ocean.
