Are you part of a club that gets together every year?
You know the kind. The ones where everyone travels from different corners of the country, the energy is electric from the moment people arrive, and somehow it always goes too fast.
We recently had the pleasure of hosting the Corvette Club at The Stables - and honestly, the cars alone were worth the visit. Make sure you swipe through the photos because some of those machines are absolutely next level. 🔥🚗
This is what we love doing. Bringing groups together, feeding them well, and giving them a space to actually enjoy the day.
If your club or group is planning its next catch-up, let's talk.

Something a little different is coming to The Stables Matakana.
Thursday 2 July, we're hosting an intimate evening of live classical music, a beautiful bistro menu, delicious drinks, and the talent on stage is seriously impressive.

Together they perform an evening of classical and romantic repertoire, flute and guitar, up close, in one of Matakana's most beautiful venues.
Doors open from 6PM with a bistro menu on offer.
Music from 6.45PM
Early Bird tickets from $29.
Limited seating. A perfect winter Thursday in a stunning setting.

One thing we absolutely love about celebrations at The Stables is seeing the kids having just as much fun as the adults 🤍
While everyone’s inside enjoying speeches, dancing, good food and a few drinks, the little ones are usually out on the lawns making memories of their own.
Running around the gardens.
Playing lawn games.
Swinging on the surf swing.
Throwing planes across the paddocks until the sun goes down.
There’s just something really special about a venue where everyone can properly relax and enjoy themselves.
From weddings and birthdays to family celebrations and community events, The Stables was built for bringing people together.
If you’re planning something special and want a space that feels relaxed, welcoming and full of life, we’d love to help make it happen 🤍

Ever noticed the events people talk about afterwards are never the stiff, overplanned ones?
They’re the ones where people stay longer than expected.
Where the speeches actually land.
Where the food keeps coming.
Where someone says “we need to do this here again next year.”
That’s exactly the kind of events we love hosting at The Stables.
From business celebrations and brand launches to birthdays, fundraisers, weddings and corporate nights, every event here is built around atmosphere, good food and making people feel looked after from start to finish.
And honestly? That changes everything.
