Unique coastal property just 40 mins from the CBD, the ultimate getaway!

Escape to your own private oasis at our unique & inviting location - perfect for a relaxing getaway with loved ones. Our modern shed apartment is nestled within a tranquil 3-acre property that seamlessly blends the best of coastal & rural settings. Enjoy stunning all-day sun and picturesque sunsets, while gazing up at the stars. Use the outdoor bath to relax, or the BBQ & outdoor seating area for dining alfresco. Minutes from the regional park with pristine beaches safe for family swimming.
Our distinctive 2-bedroom self-contained apartment is the perfect place to unwind and recharge.
Please see our other listings if you only require 1 bedroom suitable for 2 people, or 3 bedrooms for 6 people.
There are 3 bedrooms to choose from so that you have the configuration of beds that best suit your needs.
There are two bedrooms that boast comfortable king-sized beds, hanging wardrobe space with drawers, and black-out blinds for a peaceful night's sleep. The other bedroom features two single beds, a wardrobe, with drawers, and a black-out blind. All rooms have fans to keep you cool during the summer months, and electric blankets to keep you cosy in the the winter months.
The bright & airy open-plan lounge and dining area with its full sun exposure, is a warm and inviting space to relax with family and friends. The air conditioning and heat pump ensure the temperature is always just right, while the large TV and board games provide plenty of entertainment.
The foyer features an office desk and chair for those who need to check in with the office, and a coat rack and bench for putting on shoes. This large space is great for your daily exercise routine or for the kids to play. It features some of the prints produced next door in the Print Studio.

Keep an eye out for our native birdlife, we have our own native owl - (morepork / Ruru) who is out at night, plus the Wood pigeons (Kereru), Fantails (Piwakawaka), Heron (kotuku), and NZ Falcon(Karearea)
There are plenty of opportunities to explore the outdoors, with Mahurangi Regional Park just minutes away with its safe tranquil beaches. Multiple walking tracks lead you straight from our door to the beach in just 20 minutes. At low tide, you can explore other bays by walking around the peninsula along the stunning coast. If you have a boat, there's plenty of parking and easy access via the boat ramps to nearby harbours.

Our apartment is 100 square meters of pure relaxation, with plenty of space to stretch out and unwind.

The Print Shed offers the perfect blend of coastal and rural settings, making it an ideal getaway for friends and family.
We welcome you to come and enjoy the beautiful Mahurangi West Peninsula. Our friendly Boxer, Hula, is always happy to greet visitors. If you're a dog lover, feel free to pat her. Otherwise, we'll keep her enclosed for your peace of mind.

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.

We spent a peaceful holiday in this distinctive property embraced by green valleys, scenic tracks and beaches. A short drive could take us to historic town and farmers market. The property is so well equipped that it has everything we needed. Chris and Talia gave us warm welcome and attended to our needs. Definitely wish to visit again for our next holiday!
