One of the first questions we get asked when planning an event is...

"What are we going to feed everyone?"

The good news? You've got plenty of options.

From generous buffets and beautifully plated meals to canapés, shared feasts and more, we have a range of menus to suit every style of celebration.

Because every event is different, and we think your food should be too.

Whether you're planning a corporate function, birthday, anniversary, engagement, family reunion or end-of-year celebration, we'll help you create a menu that works for you and your guests.

Your event. Your way.

If you're thinking about hosting your next event at The Stables, we'd love to show you what's possible.

Already got your Sonar Flare tickets? Good. Now, come and meet one of the men behind it first. 👀

Andy is one of New Zealand's most respected musicians. You might know him from The Feelers, or from his work with Synthony and Kaylee Bell; he is one of the faces behind Sonar Flare, landing at The Stables on July 25th

But on Sunday the 19th, he strips it right back. Just Andy, a beautifully restored baby grand, roaring fires and a long, lazy lunch in The Stables' macrocarpa dining room.

And here's the best part: it's free.

No cover charge. Just show up, order from the bistro menu and let the afternoon take care of itself.

🎹 Andy Keys live 12:30pm–2pm
🍽️ Bookings open from 11am
📍 The Stables Matakana

Bookings are strongly advised; tables will go fast.

And if Sonar Flare isn't in your calendar yet, we still have some tickets available, two weeks apart, same incredible musician, two very different nights.

Looking for a venue that makes corporate events feel a little less... corporate?

Here at The Stables, we believe the best business events happen when people can step away from the office, connect with their team and enjoy the day.

Whether you're planning a conference, strategy day, product launch, client function, Christmas party or team celebration, we'll help create an event that feels effortless from start to finish.

With spacious indoor and outdoor areas, on-site catering, a fully licensed bar, AV facilities and plenty of parking, everything you need is right here in one place.

And if you're looking to make a day of it, Matakana has plenty to offer. Action Matakana and Evolt Racing are both just a short walk away, making it easy to add a little friendly competition before everyone comes together over great food and drinks.

Business doesn't always have to happen in the boardroom.

Three days. One team. Zero boring meeting rooms.

Cooked breakfast by the fire before the day even started. Go karting at Evolt Racing to shake off the agenda. Then back to The Stables to actually get the work done somewhere that doesn't feel like work.

This is what a team offsite looks like when your whole trip happens in one place. Matakana isn't just a pretty drive; it's a genuinely good reason for your team to want to show up.

If your next offsite needs an upgrade, we should talk. [email protected]

Your staff remember bonuses.

But they remember experiences too.

A long lunch.
A team celebration.
An afternoon away from the office.

The kind of day people are still talking about on Monday morning.

That's what we create at The Stables.

Planning a team lunch, strategy day, client event or end-of-year celebration? We'd love to host you.

"The venue is a vibe, and don't get me started on the food - mouth-watering."

"It went better than planned. A memorable night, thank you for making it possible."

"Comfortably fit nearly 160 people. Highly recommended."

These aren't our words. They're from real people who celebrated here.

21st birthdays, piano concerts, car club gatherings, corporate days, team lunches, client functions - we've done them all, and we'll do yours just as well.

The team that made Caroline's sister cry happy tears at her 21st kept Sisi's 160-person piano concert running smoothly and had Connor raving about the food.
They're ready for your event next.

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.
