Wow factor! The surrounding gardens add to a magic charm that transport one into a charming snippet of ye olde English countryside. A welcome cosy retreat for my much needed dose of solitude and battery recharge. Appreciated the clear communication, yet privacy. Just what the doctor ordered! Thankyou Karen & Stephen

Took a drive to Paraparaumu then back to Waikanae and enjoyed a movie at their very comfortable up to date cinema. More than enough shops to satisfy our needsKaren our host is very hospitable and the nursery and grounds very much to my liking. Will certainly recommend it and stay again sometime soon.🌻

We spent two nights at The Stables. It was magic. A wee way out of the way but if an escape and solitude is what you are looking for, it's perfect. Beautifully restored and tastefully and thoughtfully equipped. Ten out of ten … !
