The Orchid House is on the grounds of the Koele Lodge, which is well worth taking a walk around as well. I have never seen such a collection of beautiful orchids all in one place! The tranquility of this venue is wonderful. You can take as long as you like admiring the flowers, and then you still have the remainder of the Koele grounds to take in!
So peaceful & just stunning! A definite must when you are at the Lodge for your stay or just visit. Well worth it!
We were staying at Manale Bay Four Seasons and took the shuttle up to The Lodge. The property is beautiful, and the orchid greenhouse was a nice surprise. I love orchids, and they have so many different kinds! It isn't that large, and is more of a display than a garden. If you are down at the beach and want to cool off, then head up to The Lodge to visit the grounds, stop by the Gardens, play some putt putt golf, enjoy some lunch.
Staying for a few days at The Lodge at Keole, the Four Seasons hotel at the top of the island, we found ourselves surrounded by horse pastures, beautiful grounds (including the Orchid House), wonderful staff, beautiful rooms, and a wonderful quiet. For much of the visit, the peaceful quiet - found inside the Orchid House and everywhere else - was wonderful.
Varied and voluminous collection of orchids in bloom. Well grouped and presented. Bothersome lights flickered on and off in evening (from motion sensor?). The surrounding landscape with Oriental Pagoda, reflecting pool, and other water features was picturesque and well-maintained.
Such a beautiful walk behind the lodge. Be sure and go in the Orchid house and see all the wonderful plants.
The grounds at Koele are beautiful to a walk of 'trail' run, even if you are not staying here - take some time to go visit !
Beautiful and unusual species live in this small but attractive green house. This is on the grounds of Koele Lodge, but it is open tho the public for visiting. There is a sports bar and nicer restaurant at the Lodge, if you need food, and there is a very amusing 18 hole putting golf course there that is highly recommended!
Stopped by the Lodge for lunch and afterwards walked to the Orchid house. Breathtaking view of the garden and fun to see all the varieties of orchids in the greenhouse!
Beautiful flowers in the greenhouse and relaxing if unpopulated. Seating isn't the greatest, it's more for looking and strolling.
