Bluestone Encampment

Cedar cabins and two safari tents under the trees, on a coastal sanctuary with a pool pavilion, a boat ramp, and kiwi in the bush.

Bluestone Encampment is the newest of the three properties: cedar, glass, and steel pavilions on a private coastal sanctuary next door to the Main Estate. Three residences, each for four: the Cabins, Safari Tent 1, and Safari Tent 2. Booked individually, they share the pool, the playground, and the laundry. Booked on a Sole Occupancy basis, the whole Encampment is yours for twelve.
