About Us

About us

We love our one acre Cambridge property with its views of green farmland, hills of Maungakawa, and Sanctuary Mountain (Maungatautari) in the distance. With an abundance of birdlife, fruit trees, gardens, and the excellent pool, spa, and sauna, we feel very fortunate to call this ‘home’. There is a sense of peace and tranquillity from any point on the property, and we proudly stand by our mission to protect and nurture this environment.  We look forward to meeting you and sharing our little piece of ‘Middle Earth’.

Bird ReHOMING and adoption, Cambridge nz

With our love of nature and animals, we have created a small Bird Rehoming and Adoption service here at Huntington Stables Retreat Accommodation.  We offer a safe-haven for surrendered pet, caged and aviary birds, with an aim to find suitable ‘forever’ homes based on each bird’s needs and requirements.  Until they’re adopted, these birds stay in our large garden aviaries where they enjoy fresh air, flight, foraging, a wide variety of foods, feathered friends, and our love and interraction.  We have several ‘wonky-donkeys’ (crippled, special, and elderly birds) who will stay here with us to live out their lives in peace; including ‘Luna’, an extremely rare, pure white albino sparrow (as featured in Stuff national news See Here ). Guests are welcome to visit the aviary birds during their stay.
