Stay · Bluestone Encampment · Matakana Coast
The Cabins are a pair of cedar-clad pods designed by Fearon Hay: one holds the kitchen, dining, and living space with an indoor fire, the other two bedrooms and a bathroom. An outdoor fireplace sits between them. They sleep four.
The residence
Breakfast at the pod's table with the doors open to the bush. The pool pavilion in the afternoon. The outdoor fire after dark, and kiwi calling from the trees.
At Bluestone Encampment, each residence at Bluestone Encampment (the Cabins, Safari Tent 1 and Safari Tent 2) has its own bathroom and its own kitchen or kitchenette. When booked individually, the swimming pool, the playground and the laundry are shared with the other Encampment guests. Book Bluestone Encampment on a Sole Occupancy basis and the whole property and its facilities are yours alone.
Sleeping
Wellness
Private yoga, breathwork and meditation at your residence, massage, guided walks through native bush, dark skies and nobody else booked in.
Restoration at BluestoneWho it suits
A family of four, or two couples who like their own space and a shared fire.
Anyone who wants the whole property to themselves without booking it: the pool, playground, and laundry are shared with the Safari Tents unless you take Sole Occupancy of the Encampment.
No. Every booking is sole occupancy of your residence. Book a property on a Sole Occupancy basis and the whole of it is yours too. The one exception is Bluestone Encampment, where the three residences share a pool, a playground, and a laundry when booked individually.
No, and the difference matters. There is no dining room, no timetable, and no other guests. You have the same standard of service a lodge offers, when you want it, and none of the sharing.
Yes. There are no other guests to disturb. Kids run barefoot across the paddocks, cannonball into the pool, and fall asleep at the table.
Check-in from 3 pm, check-out by 11 am. Ask about an earlier arrival or later departure and we will tell you what the calendar allows.
Two nights. Five nights over 20 December to 5 January, and three nights on New Zealand public holiday weekends.
