Stay · Bluestone Main Estate · Matakana Coast
The Boat House is the chic, rustic one: an open-plan living space with a pot-belly stove and a vintage industrial table, a queen bed in the loft, and a north-facing deck with water views to Mt Tamahunga. Its second bedroom is the Shepherd's Hut, a standalone room with a kauri vaulted ceiling a few steps away. Together they sleep four.
The residence
Coffee from your own espresso machine on the deck, the tide working the shoreline. The cedar hot tub after a day at Tāwharanui. The fire lit early, dinner off the BBQ, and the steel firepit under a great many stars.
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
Couples, and two couples or a small family who want the Shepherd's Hut for the ones who like quiet.
Groups of more than four. The Boat House sleeps four, exactly.
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.
