The Stables was just beautiful! So peaceful and tranquil and just what we needed for the weekend. My husband and I visited the Waitomo Caves and the Kiwi House which are a little drive away. The bird song you wake up to was wonderful, coupled with the horses outside your window makes for a very tranquil stay! It has everything you need, even some games and pack of cards and books. No wifi or TV but that didnt worry us as we wanted to switch off anyway. Marg knew we would be arriving late and left the heater on and 2 little hot water bottles for our arrival which was such a cute touch. She also made sure we had some tips for the local area even though we already had plans. Thanks Marg - we shall be back for sure in the summer to do the black water rafting once I have convinced my husband its a good idea ha ha ha!
