Takapoto Estate is a 600 acre property that sits on three kilometres of waterfront on Lake Karapiro in the Waikato region.

What began as a restoration project has flourished into a thriving eco-sanctuary, with over 800,000 native trees and plants enriching the landscape and connecting to the neighbouring Maungatautari Mountain. On this remarkable foundation, Takapoto Estate has grown to include world-class equestrian facilities, boutique cottage accommodation, a horse breeding programme, vineyards and wines, function spaces, a market garden, and a herd of pedigree Angus bulls. Takapoto Estate captures the beauty of its natural surroundings and offers a legacy - an inspiring place for generations to come.
