Historic brick stables

Come and stay in our Historic Stables. Located at the back of Talisman Nursery in a tranquil setting amongst mature trees.

Built, in the early 1920's with locally made bricks. It was used to house draught horses and equipment, as part of the Mangahao – Haywards power reticulation scheme. The Stables were converted into a beautiful cottage during the late 1980’s with the renovation work being done by a conservation architect.

The Stables sleep up to 3 adults, but is ideal as a nice cosy retreat for a couple. Spend a weekend relaxing and re-energising in our self catering Stables.

Enjoy walks to the nearby Otaki Gorge and Otaki River, or along the beautiful Kapiti Beaches. Bring your own bikes to enjoy the extensive cycle paths along the Kapiti Coast. Other local attractions include; Otaki’s many outlet stores, Sunday market, local restaurants and cafes, art galleries, Otaki Maori Racecourse and Otaki Golf Club. Annual events; Kite Festival, Kapiti Arts Trail, Maoriland Film Festival ...
