Choose House With No Nails as your next Event Venue

The unique feel of House With No Nails will add interest to your next event. Our authentic homestay has an old-fashioned country vibe with its mix of stone walls and wooden beams. Each room has a story to tell, and the larger spaces leave room for you to tell your own. We’re in close proximity to the lush native bush walks of Mount Te Aroha and hot spots like Hobbiton, only a half-hour drive away. And for all the conveniences of town, look no further than Matamata, 11 minutes down the road. So whether for a large corporate function or an intimate family gathering, House With No Nails will be a character all of its own at your event. Talk to Jen directly about choosing House With No Nails as your venue.

What our other guests had to say

beyond description how friendly the host are. Seven Canadians stayed and had an excellent supper. There is an excellent view. The place is close to the Harakai (SP) trail. There are no nearby neighbours, so it is very quiet.

We booked this place because it looked different. Luckily we were not wrong. The moment we parked our car we entered into this magical, kind of a fairytale world. We were greeted not as tourists but as family guests. Views onto the farmyards and the mountains beyond were majestic. Hosts Jen and...
