The Farmhouse

UP TO 10 GUESTS, 5 BEDROOMS, 4 BATHROOMS

Tucked approximately 1km from the heart of the Bluestone Estate, and just 7 minutes to the Matakana Village with its high-end boutiques, fabulous coffee and elevated rustic eateries, the Bluestone Farmhouse offers the soulful charm of a classic New Zealand farmhouse re-imagined with the level of comfort and styling required by modern luxury travellers. Sitting on 15 secluded acres of former cattle farmland, the property now enters an exciting new chapter — evolving into a luxury retreat nestled amongst regenerative native planting. Our closest beaches are just a stone’s throw away, with Buckleton Beach a leisurely 10 minute walk, and Omaha Beach only 10 minutes by car.

Private. Secluded.

Unforgettably New Zealand.

Perched high above the peninsula, the Farmhouse captures 180-degree, uninterrupted views across the Hauraki Gulf, sweeping north-east toward Campbells Beach, framed by the silhouette of Kawau Island. Sunrises are cinematic. Stargazing is unsurpassed. The air is salt-washed and quiet, broken only by the distant call of seabirds drifting across the water — nature’s soundtrack to slow mornings and restored energy.

Designed to balance both gathering and retreat, generous living spaces flow out onto wide, sprawling decks and expansive second-floor terrace, offering endless sun-drenched perches for reflection, conversation, or creative thinking. Whether you sink into the swing chair gently swaying over the hillside looking out to the Gulf, rock back in an Adirondack chair on the upper terrace, or wander into to the kitchen garden with a coffee in hand — every corner encourages pause and awe.

The Cookhouse at Bluestone

AN EXCEPTIONAL DINING EXPERIENCE

A separate sanctuary and wildly inspiring entertaining space, the Cookhouse at Bluestone is a showcase of design and a dream setting for anyone who worships food, gatherings, and world-class views. Spanning 40 sqm of bespoke chef’s kitchen and dining space, the Cookhouse is wrapped in glass on three sides, immersing guests in the vast ocean landscape beyond. A monumental 20-seater recycled oak banquet table takes centre stage, offering both drama and intimacy, built for long lunches, bold ideas, and milestone celebrations.

Outdoors, a wood-fired oven, gas BBQ, and dedicated prep spaces extend the culinary stage even further — the Cookhouse was built to be cooked, enjoyed, and remembered.

Extraordinary family celebrations
C-Suite corporate offsites

THE PROPERTY

Bluestone Farmhouse is a masterclass in ‘both/and’ — offering warm communal spaces for gathering, alongside tucked-away perches designed for pause. There are places to gently sway above the Gulf in the sky-hung chair, wander the kitchen garden picking herbs for dinner or inspiration, or retreat to the quiet of the second-floor deck with a book. Children quickly discover their own world in the loft, complete with a trundler bed designed for whispered stories and slow mornings, while evenings invite connection — whether toasted beside the indoor fires, gathered around the outdoor firepit, or played out across the lawns with ocean-deep views as a backdrop. Conversation here tends to stretch — long lunches on the deck, lingering chats by the fire under expansive star-filled skies, or laughter shared over lawn games framed by an endless horizon. The grounds are equally celebration-ready, designed to host a large marquee event, accommodating up to 130 guests for a seated dinner or 250 for a coastal cocktail gathering set against the Gulf’s dramatic beauty. Plentiful on-site parking ensures arrival is effortless, even for the largest gatherings.

BEDROOMS

Listen to native bird calls as you wake to glowing Gulf horizons each morning in our warm and inviting bedrooms at the Bluestone Farmhouse. Designed with the comfort of home in mind, each room embodies the charm and character of a classic New Zealand farmhouse, elevated by luxurious bedding, generous proportions, and thoughtfully framed views over the Hauraki Gulf. Doors open directly onto the wide and expansive upper terraces, drawing ocean light inside and inviting fresh sea air through every room. Upstairs, cosy loft spaces create a magical retreat for children, while adults enjoy two private ensuites. Step outside, sink into Adirondack chairs with your morning coffee, or begin the day with a quiet meditation, the sea stretching endlessly before you. Here, rest feels effortless, mornings feel calm, and every bedroom becomes its own scenic sanctuary.

ACTIVITIES

Days unfold at your pace, offering the perfect balance of play, pause, and exploration. Enjoy a swim in the infinity pool, soak in the spa, or gather on the lawn for relaxed competition — volleyball, pétanque, or classic lawn games like Kubb — laughter carrying across 15 acres of gentle re-wilding and coastal calm. When stillness calls, retreat to the glorious swing chair tucked in the native trees, a book in hand and birdsong overhead, or create an evening ritual around the wood-fired pizza oven, crafting smoky, homemade pizzas together. Beyond the property, adventure awaits just minutes away — a short drive leads you to one of New Zealand’s most beautiful beaches at Tawharanui Conservation Reserve, a protected marine sanctuary edged by rolling dunes and turquoise water. Jump in the car for a day trip to the world-renowned Te Arai Links Golf Course for a round of golf, followed by lunch at the much-loved Rics Pizza Barn, or linger longer with a refined dinner at Oceans Restaurant. Take a long, wandering walk along Te Arai Beach, where the wild, uninterrupted 10 km coastline often feels like your own private frontier — you might just have all 10 km to yourself. And if culture, coffee, or boutique wandering tempts you, the charming village of Matakana sits just 7 minutes away, offering markets, galleries, and atmosphere — a perfect counterpoint to quiet days back at The Farmhouse.

BATHROOMS

Unwind at the end of each day in our warm and inviting bathrooms at the Bluestone Farmhouse, where character meets quiet luxury. Two bedrooms enjoy private ensuites, thoughtfully finished with timeless farmhouse charm and modern comfort, while a large shared bathroom offers a deep, freestanding bathtub made for slow evenings and coastal calm. All bathrooms are warmed by under-floor heating, adding a spa-like softness during cooler months, and are stocked with plush towels,
The ground floor hosts the fourth bathroom, complete with shower, vanity and toilet, conveniently positioned for guests and gatherings. Soft lighting and generous quiet spaces make every moment feel intentional — whether it’s a lingering soak in the tub, a revitalising morning rinse.

Bedrooms

Sleeping 10, there are four bedrooms plus the loft space, and four bathrooms across three floors.
