Stay · Bluestone Encampment · Matakana Coast
Safari Tent 1 is open-plan canvas on a platform beneath the trees, with a queen bed, a set of single bunks, its own bathroom, a kitchenette, and an outdoor bath tub. It sleeps four.
The residence
Falling asleep to the bush and waking to birdsong. Coffee from the kitchenette on the platform. The outdoor bath at dusk.
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 who want the adventure, or a couple with the bunks to spare.
Anyone who wants walls. This is a tent, a very good one.
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.
