With a very private beach and safe all tide swimming just a 300m stroll away. The space The Potting Shed was conceived as an art studio and quiet place for meditation and unwinding amongst the beautiful gardens. In 2020 it was then decided that it was time for The Potting Shed to be repurposed to create an incredibly special retreat for others to enjoy, with a kitchen, bathroom, and hot tub added, among other amenities. Set on the edge of native bush just below the working farm paddocks, The Potting Shed is completely private, being hidden from the view of any other building, far from any man-made noise, enhancing the peace and quiet. The Potting Shed comes complete with everything you need to truly enjoy your stay. From a fully equipped Miele kitchen, Nespresso machine with capsules, Weber BBQ, an open fire to curl up beside on those cool winter evenings, and a sumptuous en-suite. Just outside the bedroom is the hot tub set at a relaxing 38°C for you to enjoy, morning and night. The Property Andersons Cove farm is one of only two properties with riparian rights and access to the 700m of white sandy beach, safe and quite private all- tide swimming, and fishing. The only public access is an arduous scramble around the rocks from Langs Beach, or, of course, by sea. Situated on 45 hectares - approx. 111 acres - here at Andersons Cove Farm we do a bit of everything. From running a small farm with sheep, steers, cows, and chickens. We maintain beautiful stands of native bush, a luscious citrus grove, fruit orchard, berry house, and picturesque gardens. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Free breakfast available - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Limited housekeeping - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak - Tennis - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111910000/111901100/111901009/dd32abec.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private getaway in Mangawhai Heads Mangawhai - Kitchen - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space - Parking available 8.6 Excellent 4 reviews £119 includes taxes & fees 11 Feb - 12 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-11&endDate=2026-02-12&selected=111901009&PinnedHotelID=111901009&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fireplace, books, music library, stereo](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38080000/38078600/38078539/d2bf2ab0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Glasshouse at Taiharuru Whangarei Heads - Kitchen - Outdoor space - Breakfast available - Parking available 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-24&endDate=2026-02-25&selected=38078539&PinnedHotelID=38078539&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39030000/39022500/39022444/4ce3c549.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Just 2hrs from Auckland!Come swim, surf & fish while relaxing at Waipu Cove.
