The gateway to all of Kauai wonders, Lihue is where you'll likely arrive first, via plane or cruise ship. It's your introduction to the beauty of Kauai - and what a welcome it is. Lihue is the county seat and it offers much in the way of culture -- Hawaiian music and hula performances and other fun heritage festivals. The Kauai Museum plays a role in showcasing art and island history. Grove Farm Homestead, the former home of George N. Wilcox and his descendents, is today a museum that provides visitors with a look at how plantation owners and workers lived more than a century ago. The Grove Farm was one of the most successful sugar plantations and Kilohana, Gaylord Wilcox's former home, houses distinctive shops and an open-air restaurant. Adjacent Kalapaki and Nawiliwili highlights include the Alekoko (Menehune) Fishpond, Kukui Grove Shopping Center, and Kalapaki Beach. The Alekoko Fishpond lies along Huleia Stream. |



Just a short drive from the Inn will have you putting on one of the plush greens of the 18 hole, Robert Trent Jones Jr. Kiahuna course. Or you can play at the Kukuiolono Golf Course right in Kalaheo for just $9.. an island bargin. It is a lovely nine hole course with ocean views.
