the Stables matakana

secret garden

Welcome to The Secret Garden, a hidden oasis within The Stables Matakana grounds. Tucked away in rural Matakana, this enchanting space offers a year-round backdrop for unforgettable events. Manicured lawns, rustic stonework, natural rock formations, and lush gardens create a setting that feels both elegant and relaxed.

From the dining room, guests step directly onto the covered patio and courtyards before spilling out into the gardens, perfect for seamless transitions between ceremony, cocktails, dining, and dancing. It’s an adaptable outdoor environment for weddings, intimate gatherings, team days, or large-scale celebrations.
