About this property
Relax and retreat, a home away from home.
The Shed, is a converted farm shed, nestled on a large farm. The Shed is fully equipped for all your self-catering needs. Situated off the Busy Highway, it offers a stunning view of the incredible South Island night sky. With Cable Bay Adventure Park just down the road, there is something for everyone. For those beach lovers, it is just a 5-minute drive to the Cable Bay beach. Cable Bay is a sheltered bay about 20km north-east of Nelson. It has a pebble beach which is also the causeway to Pepin Island. Cable Bay is also a great spot for snorkeling with the adjacent Horoirangi marine reserve and its reef between Cable Bay and Glenduan (where the Boulder Bank begins).
If you have a Kayak, we suggest exploring the coastline around Pepin Island and discover the caves and secluded bays which are also a great base for snorkeling activities. On your way you will meet some local birdlife and if you're lucky you might even spot some seals or dolphins.
At the beginning of the beach is also the start or end point for the Cable Bay Walkway which has fantastic coastal views over the Tasman Bay.

About the host
Hosted by Cathy Harvey
Hello, my name is Cathy. I grew up in a farming community and have always been drawn to the outdoors. I have three horses; I am passionate about their wellbeing, focusing on training them biomechanically to ensure happy, healthy horses. My goal is to create a space where guests can unwind and relax.
Why they chose this property
We are surrounded by hills, but close to the beach. We are only 20 minutes out of the Nelson township. A nice getaway for relaxation and to see what the Nelson area has to offer.
What makes this property unique
The studio is situated on a working farm. Checkout the cafe at the Cable Bay beach; a 5-minute drive away. The Cable Bay Adventure Park is just down the road; it offers cycle trails for those bike enthusiasts, a cafe and other activities. We are only a 20-minute drive to Nelson. The best of all worlds packaged in one small area.
