Te Punga Lodge - Whangapoua Beach Luxury Villa
Meticulously designed with a clean industrial aesthetic and solid concrete construction, this villa is both stylish and robust. Inside, modern art and curated photography blend with cultural elements, including a striking Taniwha carving who watches over the home. The grand atrium, with its 8-metre high ceiling, antique Persian hand knotted mosque rug, and baby grand piano provides an inspiring space for yoga or pilates, while the main kitchen, with additional full preparation/ butlers kitchen, ensures seamless food preparation. Dine in style at the handcrafted tables made from heritage wind fallen old oak and Australian red gum, seating up to 16 guests.
