Front deck with lake views

This elevation position captures sweeping lake views, the iconic Mount Tauhara and an ever-changing skyscape, it is a view that defines the experience.

Galley kitchen with long white benches and built-in ovens, opening to the living room and the lake view

The galley kitchen

High ceilings, designer lighting and the warmth of a wood burner and gas fireplace create inviting spaces throughout the seasons. The gourmet galley kitchen is equally impressive, offering generous storage and preparation areas for those who love to cook and entertain. Thoughtfully integrated lighting and a sophisticated hanging system provide the perfect setting to showcase treasured artwork.

Bedroom with lake views

Where indoor living meets outdoor luxury, the transition between indoors and out is seamless. Living and bedrooms connect to patios, decking and verandahs, while the expansive front deck provides a sun-drenched setting for morning coffee, long lunches and evenings spent taking in the view.
