The residence

What staying at The Farmhouse is like

Long lunches at the Cookhouse table with the doors open. Pizza from the wood-fired oven. The swing chair over the Gulf, the pool in the afternoon, volleyball on the lawn, and the fire outside as the light goes.

The Farmhouse living room at Bluestone Ridge: tan leather sofa with striped cushions, a woven seagrass coffee table, botanical prints, and palms and the sea through the windows.

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.
