About the host
Hosted by Talia & Chris
This property is owned by Chris and Talia Russell who brought the land in 2007, when it was just a paddock. However, it was only recently in 2018, when we returned to New Zealand that earthworks started and the shed was built, followed by the recent completion of the minor dwelling.
It’s a work in progress, this 3-acre paddock is slowly being transformed and replanted with native trees, and we are enjoying seeing the dramatic change in the landscape now that all the plants are growing & the bird life is returning.
Chris has spent 25 years working in the Super Yacht industry and Talia is our resident screen printer. There are lots of Talia’s work throughout the shed and if you are interested in hearing about the screen-printing process, she will be happy to make a time slot to talk you through in her studio.
Our beautiful Boxer Hula will be happy to greet you and keep you company, she is very friendly.

Just minutes from the Mahurangi Regional park, you can walk from the door through the bush to the pristine beaches and explore the area.
Outdoors in this fully fenced 3-acre property, there are several areas in which to relax. In addition to the BBQ area directly outside the shed, there is a picnic table & lawn – complete with views of Te Muri Estuary. The Nook with two chairs & table is perfect for private relaxation, & enjoying the bush views.

What makes this property unique
Minutes from the regional park and beaches. Bring the boat as there is plenty of turning room and parking, plus harbour access close by at Opahi Bay, Sullivan's Bay or Wenderholm Regional Park.
We have an eco-friendly sewage system, the process is the grey and black water is separated. The black water goes to a wormery, the grey water feeds our native plants. We are working towards getting a solar system in the future.

Stunning rural views with amazing sunsets and outstanding star gazing!
Private, peaceful and relaxing.
