Te Punga Lodge for sale
Te Punga Lodge
Whangapoua, NZ
A Warren and Mahoney-designed coastal estate above Whangapoua Beach, with ocean-facing terraces, an orchard, and extensive entertaining spaces.
An olive-lined driveway leads through Te Punga Lodge’s grounds towards a house elevated above Whangapoua Beach. The ocean view is striking, but the productive landscape is just as distinctive: more than 40 varieties grow in the orchard, alongside kitchen gardens and a glasshouse. The estate feels designed for long stays, with much of daily life extending into the grounds.
Warren and Mahoney designed the residence, with interiors by Peter Dunnachie. Oamaru stone columns and pergolas give definition to the terraces, while the main living room faces the sea around a Jetmaster fireplace. A formal dining room seating 16 opens outdoors; an entertaining kitchen and separate scullery support larger gatherings. Integrated lighting and audio, multiple lounges, and water infrastructure serving the gardens complete a property in which the architecture and land work together.
