Our favourite stay in NZ!
We found the stay last minute and has been one of our favourite finds in NZ! The place is super duper clean and the bedsheets linen was super soft and comfy. We loved the outdoor bath and so did our 3 year old. Great for stargazing. The amenities and BBQ were great. Such a lovely retreat. Highly recommend to anyone looking to book.

Clean, green eco shed
Fantastic, sustainable property at its best. We really enjoyed our stay at the Print Shed. We really liked its cleanliness and green credentials. It had everything we needed and more. The highlight was the plant in the bathroom to capture the drops when drying your hands! We’ll be back for sure…

Idyllic Spot to get away
I highly recommend Chris and Talia as hosts. They suggested places to go, and we took their advice. They were straightforward to communicate with if I had questions and quick responses. We were in the area for a wedding reception, and The Shed was a great place to retreat for some quiet time. I would give Talia and Chris ten stars if it were possible.

Rural Retreat
Blissfully quiet private property well off the road but close proximity to great beaches, Matakana and Warkworth. House has new modern appliances and was well appointed. Large property to explore, but alas the weather prevented us enjoying that. Host Chris is very welcoming, friendly and accommodating.
