________________________________________
Completed in 2025, Toa stands as a truly one-of-a-kind home - not only in Mamaku, but arguably anywhere in New Zealand. Designed by an architect and inspired by the elegant lines of the waka, it's a masterclass in purposeful design, premium craftsmanship, and locally sourced materials.
Built to Move With You
Toa was designed from the ground up to be relocatable - a rare feature that opens up real flexibility for the right buyer. Picture it repositioned on a beachfront or lakeside section, running as a high-end short-term rental, or simply becoming your forever home wherever you choose to place it. Buy it with the Mamaku land it sits on now, or take just the house and start fresh somewhere new.
Thoughtful Design, Inside and Out
The waka-inspired aesthetic carries through every detail, from the custom-crafted kitchen benchtop to the floor-to-ceiling tiled bathroom. The north-facing living area is bathed in natural light through custom-made windows, opening effortlessly onto a generous deck built for entertaining year-round.
Three spacious bedrooms each feature large double wardrobes fitted with Rimu slat doors, salvaged from the historic Lake House Tavern. The bathroom pairs a separate shower, WC, and vanity with a practical second hallway vanity - a small detail that says a lot about how this home was thought through.
A Celebration of Local Heritage Materials
Many elements carry history. Materials used throughout the build include:
• Exterior cladding - Vertical Redwood from Hamurana Springs
• Feature exterior battens - Himalayan Cedar from a felled tree on Mount Ngongotaha, gifted to the developer
• Internal wall boards (dining area) - Rimu floorboards reclaimed from Queen Elizabeth Hospital
• Architraves, skirtings & entry handrail - Redwood and native Rimu from Hamurana Springs and the historic Lake House Tavern
• Front door - Salvaged from the historic Lake House Tavern
• Exterior feature timber linings - Redwood from Hamurana Springs
Built for Outdoor Living
The outdoor area is just as considered, with a firepit, pizza oven, and a potential plunge pool site already identified. There's ample parking, plus generous space for boats, pets, or kids to roam.
