The Manapouri
Feel like you're on holiday everydayWhat Makes This Plan Special:
A luxurious pavilion style design made entirely from sustainably grown New Zealand timber. Not only is this home warm and healthy, but it is also carbon negative due to the carbon sequestration properties of the timber used in its construction. The Fraemohs interlocking timber system also ensures it is earthquake proof, making it an ideal choice for earthquake prone areas, while its overall design makes it uniquely suited to rural locations, lifestyle and holiday sections, or larger sections. Enjoy the natural light and grandeur of cathedral ceilings and oversized windows while also benefiting from the low maintenance characteristics of a timber home. Indulge in the great outdoor space and cozy up by the fire in the open plan living areas – every day can feel like a holiday in this beautiful timber home.
We have Manapouri show homes available to view in Christchurch and Hamilton.
See all show homes here.
There is also a neat case study of a ‘Manapouri’ we completed mid-2022, featuring wonderful views of Hanmer Springs from its hilltop location. See the case study.
