Stay for a week in the private botanical garden resort of Olu Pua on the island of Kauai, and receive a cash voucher good for 4 airline tickets and rental car. Olu Pua Gardens was open to the public until early 2002, when the current owner took over. The estate is now private, open only to private guests. You will have four acres of beautiful tropical gardens for your private use. You will also have access to a large, beautiful pool, situated on a hill overlooking the Estate and the Gardens, and subject to the cooling breezes of the trade winds. Not a bad way to while away an afternoon.

THE GUEST HOUSE is approximately 3,500 square feet, with two living areas, a full kitchen, a dining room, and laundry facilities. There are three king bedrooms and two bathrooms downstairs; the upstairs has one bedroom with two double beds and a private bath. The décor is an eclectic and pleasing combination of modern comfort, local style, and European art. The Guest House has recently been renovated, and is an excellent example of fine local craftsmanship and authentic Hawaiian architecture. The rooms are all very spacious, and the two separate living areas provide enough space for those who want to watch TV or movies, and for those who would rather read, talk or just enjoy the peace. www.olupuagardens.com
