The Studio

The Studio is the smallest residence at Bluestone Estate and the most private: one light-filled room for two with an oak kitchen, a proper hob and oven, a bathroom of its own, and a freestanding bath outside on the deck among the flax. The bed can be a queen or two singles.

The residence

What staying at The Studio is like

A weekend that starts on Friday evening and ends somewhere else entirely. Coffee on the deck in the Adirondack chairs, a walk in the bush, the Saturday market seven minutes away, and a bath under the sky at the end of the day.

Questions

Will we share Bluestone Estate with other guests?

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.

Is Bluestone Estate a lodge?

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.

Can children make noise and play freely?

Yes. There are no other guests to disturb. Kids run barefoot across the paddocks, cannonball into the pool, and fall asleep at the table.

What are check-in and check-out times?

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.

What is the minimum stay?

Two nights. Five nights over 20 December to 5 January, and three nights on New Zealand public holiday weekends.
