Takatu Lodge is architectural and contemporary in style using natural wood, stone and marble to compliment its surroundings. Whole walls of glass allow all day sun and capture the stunning views of the surrounding vineyard, mountain ranges and sea beyond - inside and outside fusing seamlessly as one.
