Two nights. Two reasons to get out of the house. 👀

Tonight
Melton John's BLINGO is on at Smiths from 6:30 pm.

If you've been before, you already know. If you haven't... expect music, laughs, questionable singing, and prizes you actually want to win.

Tomorrow Night
Next door at The Stables, Rumpus Machine takes the stage from 8pm.

Classic rock, great musicians, and the kind of band that has people asking, "How is this free?"

And that's the best part... both nights are right here in Matakana and FREE.

No mission into the city.
No expensive tickets.
Just good people, good entertainment, and something fun happening on your doorstep.

Kings Birthday Weekend at Smiths 👑🍻

If you’re heading out this long weekend, make Matakana Country Park the trip.

Go for a few laps at EVolt Racing, let the kids burn energy at Action Ninja World have a wander through the retro and craft shops, go for a little train or horse ride, then settle in at Smiths for lunch, loaded fries, caprese salad, pizzas and cocktails.

Plenty of parking, plenty to do around the park and plenty of space to pull up for a few hours.

Open from 11am till late right through the long weekend.

Planning a team lunch, client catch up, staff celebration or even if it feels early..... your Christmas Party?

Smiths is built for the kind of corporate events people actually want to go to.

Located in Matakana Country Park, just 45 minutes from Auckland, Smiths offers relaxed indoor and outdoor spaces, flexible group areas, live music throughout the week, share-style food, and an atmosphere that feels more like a proper outing than another function room.

Easy parking, tailored food and drink options and the bonus of being right next door to The Stables means your event can be as casual or as grand as you want to make it.

Team drinks that roll into dinner.
Christmas parties people actually remember.

From smaller team gatherings to larger corporate functions, we’ll make it easy.

This one's for the mums. The step-mums. The aunties who show up like mums. The friends who are basically mums. The ones celebrating from afar. The dog mamas. The ones who show up every day, whatever that looks like. And the ones holding someone special in their hearts today.

However Mother's Day looks for you, we've got a spot for you at Smiths.

We're pulling out all the stops this Sunday. Smiths is extending into The Stables next door, so you've got two ways to celebrate:

❤ The Stables is relaxed with fireplaces alight, epic Sunday roasts & gorgeous countryside views. Perfect for big groups! Cold brews and a great wine selection available.
❤ Smiths is relaxed yet humming with good energy and a DJ spinning chilled Sunday beat from 12pm - 3pm (oh, did we mention the $12.50 margs on tap?)

Pre-book your table this Sunday for lunch and you're automatically in the draw to win a bottle of Mumm Champagne.

Don't leave it too late. Leave the hard yards to our team!
