Things to Do

THINGS TO DO

For outdoor fun, soak up the sun on the lawn with games like Cornhole, Giant Jenga, and croquet. Or unwind in a swing chair by the creek with a good book, then take a soak in the outdoor bath tub. There’s also a large selection of board games and card games, such as Chess, Mangala, Monopoly, Uno, Twister, and Pictionary.

Wander around the property at your own leisure — take a refreshing swim in the creek, or enjoy a magical evening stroll along the creek bank to spot glow worms. Make it a game to see how many native fish you can find in the water!

While you're here, why not explore the local region? Waihī Beach is covered in stunning beaches and walking tracks. At the south end of Waihi Beach, after it turns into Ocean Beach, is the Bowentown Heads with incredible views. The Lindemann Loop Track is a fantastic 5-hour track that overlooks great bay views.

Other highlights include Te Puna Quarry Park, a scenic boardwalk along the estuary, or the secondhand shops in Katikati and Waihī. The Karangahake Gorge has a great cycling track, while the historic Windows Walk takes you through old mining sites. Your host also recomends the Matahui Gin Distillery where you can make your own gin!

Your Hosts

YOUR HOSTS

Your hosts at Stoneybrook Grove are Belinda, Tessa and Frida Kahlo, the dog.

Years ago, Belinda and her daughter, Tessa, left the city to trade bright city lights for starlit nights in nature. Belinda treasures the peacefulness, trees, nearby stream, and pockets of native fauna. She works as an orchardist and a part-time factual TV producer, while Tessa is a client ambassador. They initially built a small cabin for family and friends, but it brought such joy that they decided to open it up for others to experience.

“ We had the most perfect time. It honestly could not have been better. We spent hours playing outside every day and exploring the stream and using the outdoor games. The kids slept well and the luxury blended with such a lovely off grid setting was magic. Thanks so much for all the little touches that made it so special. ”

“ A beautiful weekend in a beautiful spot. Magical and relaxing, with comfy beds and everything we could need thought of, all while being so close to nature. The kids loved the river, the resident sheep, and all the games, and we all loved the fire pit at night. So close to town but feels miles away from everything. ”

“ This spot was even better than the photos. We picked it based on how cool it looked in the photos, but arriving it was even better – what a win. Belinda met us on arrival and showed us around. We felt like we were miles away from anything, yet so much is only a short drive away (supermarket, cafes, beach) if you want to switch off and get away, this is your spot. The stream completes the dream, and I look forward to a plunge when we come back in warmer weather. ”

“ Our stay at Stoneybrook Grove was sublime. Belinda greeted us with a warm smile and gave us a thorough tour of the facilities. The setting was serene. We loved falling asleep to the sound of the babbling brook. Equally, waking up to nothing but birdsong as the misty morning gave way to the day ahead was so peaceful. We enjoyed games of cards in front of the fire, sipping mulled wine. A perfect weekend away. ”

“ A fantastic, secluded spot with three cosy cabins and a lovely outdoor fireplace. The nearby creek is absolutely beautiful, and there's plenty of space around the accommodation for kids to run and play. The giant Jenga was a big hit too! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to others. ”

“ Stoneybrooke Grove was a great spot for an escape from the city. The boys loved playing in the stream and trying to fish. Awesome spot for a bit of country air, but close enough to amenities if needed. Cool pizza oven and brassiere for marshmallows. Definitely recommend. ”

“ We had a lovely few days with friends from overseas. The location is quiet and tranquil. The accomodation is beautifully set up. Very clean and comfortable with loads of extras, like games and hammocks. The solar powers a fridge and even a hairdryer so comfort all round and plenty of chilled wine!! ”
