The Cookhouse

Bluestone Estate's private dining room at the Farmhouse is included when you book the Farmhouse or sole occupancy of Bluestone Ridge.

The Cookhouse hosts intimate private gatherings for twelve to eighteen around a well-loved, reclaimed oak table. Larger celebrations are considered individually, and details and pricing are agreed before you book.

As a venue on its own, a full day of up to 14 hours is NZD 2,600 in the low season; in the high season it follows the Farmhouse rates and minimum stays. Catering, equipment, and staffing are quoted separately. A dedicated concierge is NZD 130 an hour.

Inside the Cookhouse at Bluestone Ridge: the recycled oak table with its rattan chairs under a woven pendant, cedar shingles above the open doors, and the trees and the water beyond.
