Shortlands Shed
Naseby, Central Otago
** Note for bookings during June/July/August. You must have your own 4WD ute or truck to access Shortland Station (SUVs or Subaru type cars are not adequate). There can be snow on the property and in the region affecting access**
Shortlands Shed is less than 2 hours from Dunedin and just under 2 1/2 hours from Queenstown.
The shed is set at the base of the Kakanui Ranges, in the Danseys Pass corner of the Maniototo, on a 15,000 acre working high country sheep station. It sits on the edge of a creek overlooking golden tussock hill country.
The design of the shed itself takes inspiration from the classic corrugated iron farm buildings you see throughout New Zealand. It combines a stylish, covered, open-air kitchen and bathroom - with a luxurious and cosy enclosed bedroom and lounging space.
Guests will experience a stunning mountain vista, with 360 degree views of the surrounding high country. A cedar wood-fired hot tub sits in a prime position to take it all in while soaking in steaming hot, fresh mountain water. At night, the view of the night sky and stars is amazing.
Shortlands is the ultimate, peaceful glamping retreat. Enjoy the tranquil sounds of the creek, the birds, and the unbelievable quiet - with the only interruption being the comforting sound of the odd sheep baaaing nearby.
Thank you so much for one of the best experiences of our lives!! We had so much fun. The accommodation was absolutely gorgeous. Having a Hot Tub at night under the stars was amazing, then going inside to a lovely fire, and waking up to a view of snow covered mountains. Our children gave us a voucher for our 25th wedding anniversary and it was something we will always remember with a smile...

An amazing experience, the site makes you feel you are the only people on this earth and the shed is furnished beautifully, rustic luxury.

Shortlands is a fantastic place to unwind and relax. Sitting in the hot tub watching the sun go down over the mountains in absolute silence was an amazing experience!

Shortland’s Shed was a superb glamping experience! The cattle are friendly and the sheep are curious but flighty, and you’ll wake up to gorgeous views of the Otago highlands every morning.
