Exclusive activities & experiences

A Day at Takapoto.

Build your event into a full day on the estate — tours, tastings and activities woven around the venue, the lawns and the lake.

Guided, on foot or by BYO bike

Private Takapoto Tour.

Set out with our knowledgeable guides across the estate — the eco-sanctuary, the plantings and the conservation work that connects Takapoto to Maungatautari. On foot at walking pace, or bring the bikes and cover more ground. An e-bike eco-tour can also be arranged for groups.

Takapoto Tours
At The Cabana

Private wine tastings.

Enjoy a Takapoto Estate wine tasting — Pinot Noirs from Central Otago, Chardonnay, Rosé and the red blends, poured at The Cabana or an alternative private setting.

Wine Tastings at The Cabana
From the boat ramp

On the water.

Kayak from the estate's private boat ramp onto Lake Karāpiro — vests and helmets provided.

On the lawns

Lawn games.

Kubb and croquet on the expansive lawns around the venues, with luxury outdoor lounge seating and bar leaners under umbrellas close at hand. Unhurried, competitive, or both.

Something a bit different

Claybird shooting.

An exhilarating session in a beautiful setting — 500 clays, test your aim, and settle the office rivalries properly. Sessions from $2,000.

And the rest of the day.

A few more ways to shape the hours, arranged when you book.

Amazing Race games

Amazing Race–style team games — brain teasers, quizzes and challenges, as one team or in competing pairs.

Pottery workshops

With Mementomori Ceramics — craft a vase, bowl or keepsake dishes, with flowers from the Takapoto garden in your design.

Cardboard raft race

Teams build and race their own rafts from the jetty — fastest raft, best looking, and most spectacular Titanic moment.

Built to order.
