“Enviably positioned on a waterfront section at Te Puna in Tauranga, with views out to Mt Maunganui, Blackwood Lodge takes its cues from its 1970s predecessor. It has been extensively reconfigured and rebuilt during a meticulous three-year transformation. The owners felled the on-site blackwood and made its timber into a feature, especially in the impressive kitchen area, which boasts a bespoke laminated kitchen island. A high level of connectivity between the home and its substantial orchard and garden is further enhanced by the housed pool, which recedes into the landscape.” - NZIA
