About Us

Nestled comfortably on the banks of Lake Karapiro is one of the true gems of Aotearoa New Zealand.

Takapoto Estate is a living sanctuary and the Plaw family legacy. The 600-acres has been lovingly restored with nearly one million native trees and plants now providing a thriving eco-sanctuary to the neighbouring Mangatautari Mountain.

The name Takapoto encompasses all that is good about sustainability, traceability and leading by example. It is an exemplar across multiple levels, including a world class equestrian facility, boutique cottage accommodation, award-winning vineyards and wines, Angus bulls, a market garden and several function options that cover weddings to more intimate corporate meetings, as well as black tie balls and more.

While Takapoto embraces all that is fabulous about the region, those behind the gate have a keen eye to the future, knowing only too well, they are just the guardians of this very precious piece of land.
