About this property

Stay, Play, Rest, Relax

"The_Garden_Shed" was formally a boat shed that sat around storing furniture, odd bits and pieces for people including a rare ford escort panel van. After much conversation with family and friends who favored a small sports stadium, we decided on providing quality accommodation for couples.

The "boat shed" was moved two meters to it's current location.

The_Garden_Shed is now a cozy two bedroom cottage of 57m2 that internally has all the conveniences you'd expect in modern apartment style living. The kitchen has all (or most) of everything you need including a fridge/freezer and dishwasher.

The lounge has a two seater couch and two lazyboy recliners (no fighting now) A 32 inch TV, a DVD player (with some video's) and stereo with ipod connectivity. There is also free wifi with secured encryption, so you'll receive your personal access code via text on move in day

The main bedroom has a comfortable queen bed with side cabinets and lamps. The second bedroom has two king singles with a cabinet and lamp between them. Both bedrooms have wardrobes, with storage available to keep the suitcases out of the way

Externally there is an upper deck with outdoor furniture and BBQ and the lower lawn area with trampoline for you too enjoy.

- There is off street parking for two vehicles

Xmas Stay 2023
This boutique property suited me perfectly. So clean, friendly hosts and close enough for daily walks along the beach. The hosts had also taken the trouble to put up tasteful Xmas decorations. I want to come again.

If only all garden sheds were as delightful as this place!
If only all garden sheds were as delightful as this place! The property is very well equipped, tastefully decorated, clean and incredibly comfortable. The location is awesome; just a short walk to great amenities, golf course and the sea front. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone thinking of staying in this wonderful area.

Walking distance to beach town and shopping centres.
Walking distance to beach town and shopping centres. Very well equipped kitchen. Fresh Flowers and fruit on arrival. High quality linens. Fresh packages of tea and coffee. Definitely more than a garden shed.

Apart from a comfortable bed and the place being clean, I always look for somewhere that lets us eat
Apart from a comfortable bed and the place being clean, I always look for somewhere that lets us eat our meals outside. Despite our visiting at the end of summer, we loved sitting out in the sheltered, private deck in the sun. This place is well above expectations. It is immaculate, beautifully appointed and luxurious-feeling. Book it if you can.

About the host

Hosted by Robert-and-Amanda

Host profile image
Hi fellow travelers, we are born and bred Wellingtonians and made a move to the Kapiti Coast 22 years ago and have loved the lifestyle it offers ever since. We enjoy travelling ourselves and have been through most of NZ. We have also travelled to much of Australia, New Caledonia, Bali, Fiji, Rarotonga, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia.

Why they chose this property

As we have a decent plot of land that we brought our three daughters up on, they have flown the coup so we thought we'd start developing it to reduce our time spent on it. The_Garden_Shed is the first and we'll add another one or two at a later date. this will provide a place where tavellers can come and enjoy the lifestyle and location we do.

What makes this property unique

5 Min Walk to Local Village Shops, Beach, Paraparaumu Beach Golf Club, and Cafe's. 1 minute by car.
