The building and oracle tower, as well as statuary at the complex, are recent reconstructions based on descriptions of travelers, missionaries and diplomatats who visited the court.
The site is on private land owned by a hotel and beach resort. However, the site can be visited during daylight hours and guided tours are available at the hotel. The temple building itself and the area immediately around the temple appear to not accessible to the casual visitor. Many ancient temple sites are only accessble for worship.
Note: Ancient Hawaiian stone platform used for worship, damaged in March 11 tsunami, now restored.
