Summary:

The Shed blends Central Otago miner’s cottage charm with Swiss chalet style. This warm and private retreat offers stunning views, a spacious deck, outdoor fireplace in the Pinot Pit, and a pétanque court set in wine country.



With peaceful surroundings and a separate office/whare for remote work, The Shed is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of the Queenstown region.



The Space:

The Shed is a thoughtfully designed cottage combining rustic charm with alpine-inspired comfort. Inside, the home features warm natural materials, cozy living areas, and peaceful spaces that make it easy to settle in and relax.



The main living areas offer a comfortable environment to unwind after a day exploring Queenstown and the surrounding region. The property includes a separate office/whare, ideal for remote work or quiet focus if you need to stay connected during your visit.



Outside, the expansive deck creates the perfect place to enjoy the fresh Central Otago air and surrounding views. You can gather around the outdoor fireplace in the “Pinot Pit,” relax in the open outdoor spaces, or enjoy a friendly game on the pétanque court — a fitting addition for a stay located in wine country.
