The upstairs is comprised of five bedrooms and three baths, along with the first-floor living and dining room.

The Kilauea Plantation Manager's House is a good example of the Craftsman bungalow style of architecture in Hawaii and is unusual in its "butterfly plan," which is well adapted to the necessities of climate and the more informal lifestyle found in Hawaii.
