Review:

Visiting Kilohana Plantation Estate is like being transported to 1930s Kauai. The plantation estate was a gift of love from Grove Farm sugar plantation owner Gaylord Wilcox to his wife. The Tudor-style mansion boasts 16,000 square feet of living space. Architecture and design buffs will appreciate the Art Deco home with its pine wainscoting, detailed moldings, coffered ceilings, Hawaiian artifacts, rare artwork, and antiques. A dozen galleries, shops, and Gaylord’s Restaurant & Lounge are in repurposed rooms inside the mansion. Conductor narrated train tours take visitors through the historic 105-acre plantation in elegant mahogany cars. A spectacular theatrical luau is performed evenings.
