Luxury retreat with big sea views - The Black Shed

Welcome. This space has been thoughtfully curated for your comfort. You will feel relaxed as soon as you arrive and take in the sweeping views of the ocean with a stunning outlook to the Hen and Chicken islands and Sail Rock. Experience the beautiful craftsmanship throughout the space, American oak cabinetry, and a calming colour palette all work together in harmony with the rural, coastal setting. You’ll sleep well in the NZ made memory foam mattress complete with quality linen bedding.

The 'Shed' our slice of serenity.

Ian and I welcome you to a wee taste of country life and country noise, less than an hours drive from Auckland City. The Shed offers peaceful rural and water views plus the occasional visit from wild deer and peacock, or grunt from the roar (April/May). It is a restful stop on your travels, or an escape from the hustle bustle of life. Stand alone with a garage between it and the main house. We are happy to put together a yummy platter and wine, message for prices and book ☺️

organic farm, beautiful setting on harbour.

We are only 75mins drive north of Auckland, 10 mins off the number one highway. The cottage is built from beautiful untreated hardwoods set in a tranquil private spot, nestled on the edge of a regenerating native forest. The cottage is only a 2min walk down to the beautiful Kaipara Harbour. Our place is part of a 25 year old 300 acre organic permaculture farm, which we were instrumental in setting up as a working farm and village style subdivision.

Relax on the Kaipara Harbour

A lovely fully equipped modern cottage in a rural setting on the beautiful Kaipara Harbour (only 90 mins north of Auckland). Peaceful and private, you can lounge on the bean bags on the deck, or watch the tui as you soak in the bath. Native bush runs down to an estuary outside your floor to ceiling windows. Sheep, dogs, ducks and birdlife share the property with you as well as the occassional peacock harem.
