Large, modern space which can accommodate one person up to seven people. Country views, just on the edge of town. Continental breakfast daily. Large free parking area right outside your door.

The space:
One queen bed, and five more singles available, we can set the space up to your individual requirements. Well set out to accommodate one person, couples, groups, and families. Because the space is large and well set up, it can easily cater for professionals or groups working away. There is a separate bathroom, large kitchen area, two comfortable seating areas, bar fridge and large fridge, especially useful for groups, and also a freezer. A bench top stove with two hobs and oven, and a microwave. There is an office desk, and an ergonomic chair. Two heat pumps keep the whole area lovely and warm in winter, or nice and cool in summer. Fully fenced lawn area directly off the space, child and pet friendly, and another lawn on the other side of the space for your use as well. A lovely park is right next door and the space looks out on it. Wi Fi, 65 inch smart TV with Netflix, etc. There is a pool table for your entertainment.

Wide Open Spaces
This is essentially a pole barn, and I assume it was once used as one, as indicated by the slight farm smell inside. The fact it's wide open is NOT a negative it's nice having room to move around, and the sleeping arrangements just work. Nobody (5) of us bothered the other while sleeping or staying up later than the rest. It worked out great. The kids played a game of pool, and we all fed the alpacas out back with nuts provided by the host. The host showed up shortly after our arrival to welcome us and was very interested in sharing information about the area, asking what our plans were, and providing ideas and suggestions for things to do and see. Note there is a neat "downtown" area we wished we would have made it to town sooner to check it out. We visited both the north and south islands, and my kids, both 17-year-old boys, liked this area of New Zealand the best; the rest of us mostly agree, but it's hard to compete with the south island if you're into hiking and nature.

Lots of space
We really loved our stay here. Plenty of room and a lovely space to rest in. A couple of things though that would make it even better... a non slip mat in the shower would be handy and tea towels as we couldnt find any. Not a biggie though because we loved it here nonetheless.

Modern Studio, Great Hospitality
Spacious, clean and modern, this studio unit is a buzzing place to stay. The host showed great hospitality with detail, from pre-arrival prep of fresh breakfast enough for everyone to welcome greetings. There are plenty of entertainment from snooker table to tabletops and a smart TV with Netflix, perfect for families and friends. Enjoy an encounter with curious alpacas and sheeps at the repurposed farm.

Special and welcoming
Amazing stay. Maria was an exceptional host. The fresh bread, muffins, mini cereals and juice were a hit with the family. The pool table was a fantastic addition. Beds were so warm and comfortable, place was warm and we loved the set up. We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Maria Hamilton

Host profile image
My main interest would be travel. I enjoy being a host, helping with any requests when needed, available 24/7 for any questions or help, but also leaving people to their peaceful privacy.

Why they chose this property

The area is welcoming, a leafy estate with larger homes and sections, quiet, safe, lovely to walk around, Kaimai views, lovely well kept park right next door.
The neighbourhood is walkable, and ten minutes walk to the town CBD, or two minutes drive. It has a peaceful rural feel, but so close to town with many excellent restaurants and take out food to chose from, and good shopping.

What makes this property unique

The Red Shed is large and modern, and is unique in that it can easily accommodate up to seven people, but is also set out where a couple or individual will be in a cosy environment. It is a standalone, space, set away from the main dwelling, so you will have peaceful privacy and two lawn areas for your use, one fully fenced. Excellent for working away groups or individuals. Also only a ten minute drive to Hobbiton.
