Acacia Cliffs Lodge Offers a Warm Stay with a Cool Design and Setting

— October 4, 2012 — Eco
A beautiful balance is struck within the Acacia Cliffs Lodge that extends beyond its impressive perched posture near the edge of Lake Taupo. The architectural presence of the boutique hotel channels aspects of refined rusticity that have been executed with the sophistication of modern materials and treatments and enhanced with splendid comforts inside.

Once the site of a deer farm, the picturesque New Zealand plot was also home to a cottage. Evidence of the original structure thrusts up through the entirety of the building in the form of gorgeous wooden pillars, bringing drama, detail and organic elegance into the mostly minimalist spaces. Iconic furnishings of Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier can be found in the cozy lounges of the house, allowing guests to sit back and experience the seemingly tangible view of Mount Tauhara that lies behind expansive widows that are flush with the floors.

The hard work of the consummate owners has more than paid off in the construction and enrichment of the five-star Acacia Cliffs Lodge. The deluxe bed and breakfast gives travelers the unique opportunity to experience an exhilarating landscape in revitalizing style thanks to the graceful synthesis of its diverse and extraordinary features.
