If your looking for a cosy private getaway for 2, Nicks place is perfect!! A beautiful self contained facility well equipped and set up for all your requirements. The Shed was clean and cosy. The bed was warm, clean and comfortable. Located in the countryside so you can really relax in the quiet outside the hustle and bustle of town but close enough to some amazing eateries like Hallertau in Riverhead and the historic Riverhead Tavern. We did a private wine tour which featured Soljabs, Kumeu River and Westbrook wineries, They we're all very close to each other and we even popped out to Muriwai beach.
Nick even gave us some lovely chocolates to welcome us to his home, they also let us have free range eggs and lemons from their grounds.
All and all we had a great stay. It was our wedding anniversary and we loved every minute of our time at the Shed. Nick turned the heat up in the pool so we could take advantage of the afternoon sun!! The pool Rs lovely and clean, the water was cool but not cold.
They have 2 gorgeous dogs. If you love dogs they are happy to have a little play. If your not a dog lover you can just keep your door shut and they won't annoy you.
We didn't use the kitchen as we ate out both nights of our stay however the kitchen was well equipped with all you require. The shower was fantastic, great pressure and nice and hot!!
We will definitely visit again :) we recommend staying at Nicks in the Shed if you are wanting a romantic country getaway not too far from Auckland city. Or you are keen to do a wine tour and visit the awesome vineyards.
