  • Halter group - August 2025

    “We recently hosted a 200 person company celebration at The Stables Matakana and we have nothing but positive things to say. From start to finish, Zen and the team (Calvin, Kim and the amazing chefs + wait staff) were phenomenal - nothing was too much trouble.

    What really stood out was how seamlessly they worked with neighbouring businesses like E-Volt, Action Matakana, and Smiths to ensure the entire day ran smoothly across multiple venues and activities. Zen gave us some great ideas for some fun additions to the space...light-up furniture, surprise casino, photo-booth and even a smores station! The coordination on the day made such a difference in creating an unforgettable experience for our team.

    Couldn’t recommend The Stables (& Smiths) Matakana more highly - an incredible venue with an even more incredible team.”

  • Mediaworks - March 2025

    “If I could give The Stables 10 out of 10 stars I would. Hosting our MediaWorks customers for lunch today was a pleasure and a treat, made so by the exceptional support and attention to detail the wonderful event Co ordinator Livvy gave us ,alongside Zen and Kim who run a perfect ship. The venue is so versatile. Gorgeous inside and out, the customers were blown away by a building they’d never been in prior. Our lunch was delicious, hot and right on time. No dietary restriction was too much trouble and my goodness I’ve never had a Halloumi Kebab like it. THANKYOU team, you have done an outstanding job for us and we are very grateful.”
