Brands

Each February, an eagerly awaited annual tradition unfolds at Takapoto Estate: a one-of-a-kind luxury event where world-class showjumping converges with exclusive hospitality, fine cuisine, and curated interior design.

The experience begins as you arrive at the breathtaking Karapiro lakeside venue on 90 Finlay Road, Maungatautari. Native plantings frame the water views, and the atmosphere speaks of refined elegance- a carefully orchestrated fusion of sporting thrills and hospitality excellence.

Every year, Dawson & Co partners with Takapoto Estate to craft a bespoke February experience unlike any other. This isn't a brand showcase; it's an invitation to witness the pinnacle of equestrian sport whilst immersed in a curated lifestyle event. Guests enjoy premium seating ringside with the thrill of world-class showjumping, whilst enjoying thoughtfully curated hospitality that celebrates both sporting excellence and luxury living.
