    The location was good, and we had a warm greeting from the host. Two single bed in the lounge room and queen and single in the bedroom. The solid (like very solid) front door was a talking point. Basic kitchen and frig with everything we needed....

    Nice setting and very peaceful. Rosey was very helpful and friendly, and the bay is beautiful!

    Beautiful little place to stay! Rosie was great with communication & very friendly when we arrived. It was bigger than we expected & only a super short walk to the water front. It's a great spot in a beautiful location.

    Great cute place to stay, Rosey was lovely, appreciated her letting us pop some meat in her freezer o.night :) it broke our trip to Kaiteri up nicely

    Great location, just a minute or so walk to the jetty and waterfront. Very quiet, slept very soundly. Roses is a lovely host and the unit has everything you need. The photos don’t do it justice!

    Anakiwa is great, we want to move there! Peaceful and relaxing stay. This place had everything we needed and was much bigger than we had we had expected! The fire was a highlight and we liked how rustic it was.

    The location is gorgeous. A little piece of paradise. Listening to the Bellbirds in the morning, excellent. Rosey was absolutely lovely to us, she welcomed us even when we showed late to the accommodation.

    Heerlijke rustige plek op prachtige locatie. Alle basics aanwezig, prima voor het verblijf. Fijne sfeer en vriendelijke host. Kinderen hebben zich ook prima vermaakt in tuin, stream en op de steiger. Laat je niet afschrikken dat er geen foto's van...

The Red Shed
Its quiet and peaceful here. I live upstairs and you will be staying in the downstairs studio. It's a little quirky but comfortable. Private garden and only 3 minutes from the sea.
I enjoy meeting people.i have good local knowledge and a keen interest in the native flora and fauna. I'm a keen gardener also.
About 70 residents live here in Anakiwa year round but in the summer it's a bustling community with walkers from the Queen Charlotte track and boaties going out in Queen Charlotte Sound to catch fish.The closest shops are 20 minutes away in Havelock or 30 minutes to Picton. Kayaks and mountain bikes available for hire 5 minutes away. Local tavern10 minutes away has nice evening meals otherwise Havelock has several restaurants.
