GALLERY

The owners of Huntington Stables Retreat live on-site in the main house. The North & South Stables are further down the drive past the house, the Loft is a separate building to the right of the house (& where this photo has been taken), & the Stall is a guest-room, attached to the main house (near the garage door in the photo).

The North & South Stables are side by side. Note: while there is access between the Stables via the deck area, there is no adjoining door inside.

Both Stables are set up the same & are situated next to each other.

Each Stable features a full kitchen complete with a gas hob, oven, fridge-freezer (behind doors), dishwasher, microwave, pantry, & butcher-block.

Rollaways can be added to your booking.

Each lodge has a wardrobe that contains two robes, two pool towels, a spare blanket, wooden & covered hangers, iron, ironing board, hot water bottle, & lockable safe.

Swim in the pool, soak in the hot tub, steam in the sauna, snooze in the shade, or relax in the sun.

This gorgeous room features a King-size bed, with French doors that open out onto a private deck. Extra beds can be added to the living area in the form of single rollaways.

Such a lovely room - for one or two people sharing the King bed. Artwork on the wall is by Cambridge based symbolist artist Santie Cronje.

Each kitchen has a Nespresso coffee machine, coffee plunger & coffee, & an assortment of tea & coffee in the pantry.

A 43 inch, HD Samsung Smart television is hidden behind cabinet doors when not in use. This brand new, late model television can be used with your laptop or phone! As well, you will find a DVD player, & a game of Scrabble. You will find a pack of cards, noughts & crosses game, & a colouring book with pencils on the coffee table. Monopoly is available upon request. Artwork on the wall is by Santie Cronjie, & is available for purchase. Please note: there are no Sky channels in any of the rooms. Lightbox is available free of charge in both Stables.

We move the dining table to the other side of the room, & can fit one or two rollaways in this space. A third one can be added if needed. Rollaways can be added to either North or South Stable. They cannot be added to the Loft or Stall.

This is the configuration of two rollaways when added to either of the stables.

Both lodges have a bookcase which includes a selection of DVDs & books.

Each Stable has a bathroom that includes a slipper bath, toilet, tiled shower, large hand-basin, toiletries, hair-dryer, linen, heated towel rail, & luxury lotions.

Each Stable features a gorgeous bathroom.

Gorgeous shower in each of the luxury lodges.

We provide natural lavender-based toiletries for guests to use. These are produced locally with the lavender grown here in the Waikato. These are also available to purchase. They are perfect for gifts, souvenirs, or to use during the rest of your holiday when you leave here.

As a way to relax & unwind, spend some 'creative time' colouring in a beautiful picture! Leave a message, quote, or poem for others to read & enjoy. You'll find a gorgeous colouring book & pencils in every room.

French doors open out onto the private deck. Enjoy the view of the hills with a glass of wine, or nice cup of tea. A baby Webber barbecue is provided for your exclusive use.

This basic guest-room has a quaint little patio protected by an annex. We're training the creeper to cover the walls to give the area a more 'tranquil' look and feel.

There is a short path from the carpark area to the back entrance of the North & South Stables, & the pool complex. A handrail runs alongside the path.
