At Velskov Tea Gardens & Food Forest, we explore the philosophy of GastroGeography and GastroEcology: the connection between consuming wild, native forest foods and restoring your inner microbiome.

Through guided foraging and tea tastings, we invite you to taste Aotearoa New Zealand and leave a living legacy by planting your own tea garden.

Our mission is to share this inspiring landscape with the world.

At the heart of Brick Bay is our renowned Sculpture Trail, an ever-evolving open-air gallery featuring over 60 large-scale contemporary sculptures set amidst native bush, a precious kauri forest, and tranquil lakes. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the creativity and wonder of some of New Zealand’s most exciting artists.

The Glass House Restaurant is our architectural award-winning pavilion, elegantly cantilevered over a serene lake. Here, we showcase fresh, seasonal produce from our farm, orchards, and gardens, offering a true taste of contemporary New Zealand cuisine.

Brick Bay Wines reflect our unique terroir, crafted exclusively from 100% estate-grown grapes in our boutique vineyard. We also produce our own olive oil and honey, further celebrating the land’s bounty.

From a rural passion project in the 1980s to a thriving team of over 40 dedicated staff, Brick Bay remains deeply committed to sustainability and kaitiakitanga—stewarding this precious land for future generations.

Set between rolling rural hills and the aqua waters of the Hauraki Gulf, the estate unfolds across three neighbouring properties: Bluestone Main Estate, Bluestone Encampment and Bluestone Ridge.

Stay beneath the trees in a beautifully appointed safari tent, escape to an intimate coastal hideaway for two, gather family and friends in one of the larger residences, or take an entire property exclusively as your own. Each can be enjoyed individually or combined to create a private estate experience, with spaces such as the Cookhouse, the glass-walled private dining room at the Farmhouse, bringing everyone together.

Bluestone Estate is for couples, families and private groups seeking casual luxury, a connection to nature, privacy, space and exceptional comfort. Every residence is let on a sole occupancy basis, and the estate is Qualmark Gold accredited.

Terra & Tide is Bluestone Estate's exclusive touring partner, creating private days across the Matakana Coast, Auckland, Waiheke Island, the Hauraki Gulf and Northland.
