Summary: We love The Stables! It was our 2nd time staying there. It’s a lovely environment, great for some recuperation away from the city. Very cozy, especially with the fire on. Thank you for having us!

Summary: This is the second time we stayed and we were just as pleased. Lovely place in a beautiful wood, a short drive from the coast. We loved waking up to the sound of birdsong from our loft bedroom.

Summary: It was very enjoyable staying at The Stables - such a special place! Also, a highlight for me was checking out the native plant nursery (Talisman) on the property and being overwhelmed by the many very rare native plants. And I enjoyed wandering through the tracks of the arboretum in such peaceful surroundings. It's my second visit to The Stables. Thanks once again Karen.

Wendy G. Apr 25, 2025 09:26:32 AM
Summary: We loved our time at this beautifully unique accomm. The Stables have been sensitively converted into something really special. Our view onto the Nursery's arboretum was stunning and Karen welcomed us to walk around their lovely property. Everything we could possibly need was provided. One of our days there we just stayed home and enjoyed the rainy day activities provided - jigsaw, puzzle books, cards, boggle, DVDs, books and magazines.It was easy to catch the train from Waikanae for the 1hr trip into Wellington.We highly recommend this accom. It is as gorgeous on the inside as it is on the outside.
