The host was very welcoming and flexible with arrival times. The shed was very spacious, clean and well stocked. The location is idea for access along the coast, winery tours shopping and restaurants and is extremely private and quiet.We would highly recommend this accommodation and will certainly be using it again on our next trip that way.

Comfy wee spot

We enjoyed our two nights at the farm shed. Great hosts. Lots to explore in the area and return to soak in the hot tub under the stars with a gorgeous view. Perfect spot for a getaway.

Wow! what an amazing place, awesome hosts and very cute animals. We felt really welcome from the minute we arrived. The cheeky Little Farm shed had everything we needed for our 4 night stay and having the hot tub with gorgeous views was fabulous. Huge thanks to Michelle and Nigel for making our stay so special and we were very sad to leave you and your menagerie. Would definitely recommend staying here, we will almost certainly return one day xx

Amazing wee getaway

This stay was amazing, a very short drive to everything and only 10 minutes out of Richmond. The house was fully kitted with everything we needed and the hosts were outstanding. We could feed the animals, relax under the stars in the spa and even had a drink with the hosts who were so welcoming. Completely private stay. Would 100% stay again. Thanks Michelle and Nigel.

Fantastic from start to finish

Michelle and Tony are awesome hosts of a lovely spacious studio ‘shed’. You are rural, so 20-30 minutes drive to local sights, but you have fantastic views, you’re surrounded by their sheep and cows and your hosts have thought of everything. They’ll assist you with day trips, restaurant and winery suggestions and anything else you’ll need. Be sure to go to the local Moutere Hills Winery, friends of Michelle and Tony, for superb Chenin Blanc and lovely reds too. From the ‘shed’, we ventured to Abel Tasman, by road up to Tataka and by boat north of Kaikerikeri, to Nelson as well as local stops in Mapua, Motueka and Kina Beach. Lovely food and view at Jellyfish in Mapua Harbour. We cannot recommend this spot or the hosts more highly.
