"Built around a 150-year-old stone homestead, Stoneridge Estate is the result of four decades of vision by a local family who transformed a former sheep paddock into one of New Zealand’s most atmospheric retreats. Its stone walls and arched windows recall old European châteaux, as the lodge blends reclaimed materials and antique detailing. Suites and cottages open onto formal gardens and mountain peaks, while a chapel, cellar, and hot tubs complete the scene. Decades in the making, it now stands as one of the country’s most picturesque escapes." - Tablet Hotels
