A picturesque landscape with a large red-roofed building, surrounded by green trees, a lawn, and parking lots, under a partly cloudy sky.

Just down the road from surf beaches, wineries, and Goat Island, The Stables is the kind of spot that makes a festival feel like a mini holiday. Sun on your face, bass in the garden, friends on the lawn Summer Roadie is Matakana at its best.

Good tunes, good food, cold drinks, and nothing to do tomorrow but recover.
