A weekend away with family and friends is about fun, good times and relaxing… and ideally having a great sleep in and being spoilt with breakfast in bed. Hey, you deserve it! THE SHED has something for everyone with two bedrooms and a bunk room.

The Master Suite has incredible views across the green and down to the ocean blue. The huge King Size bed with custom black pallet base sits under a soaring 5.5 metre plywood ceiling which creates warmth. Beyond the bedhead is the ensuite complete with a deep clawfoot bath.

The second bedroom is a simple and beautiful room with high ceilings and french doors to the North, and features a Queen bed.

The bunk room is a huge kids/family and entertainment room which contains two double bunks, both with pull out trundle beds.

Whichever room you find yourself in, enjoy… Sweet Dreams!

Bale Hay While the Sun Shines

Surrounded to the east and south by neighbouring farmland, one of the best things about The Shed Gerroa, is being able to sit back and watch a lot or very little happen. Whether it’s watching the cows amble by, the golf carts zip along the fairways of Gerringong Golf Course in the distance or the swells march up the coast – there is always something to take in. Recently our neighbours had their many acres hay baled which made for interesting viewing. The kids loved the show!

Come and Stay…

Christmas at The Shed

Christmas is always marked as a line in the sand for things to be completed and The Shed was no different. It felt like a race to the finish line with a great prize awaiting us. We were very excited to spend our first Christmas at The Shed with the kids and our extended family and friends – and here is what it looked like….

The Fireplace

The plan was always to have a double-sided fireplace which would act as a divider in the open plan living/dining area. Originally we were thinking of having a double sided GAS fireplace for ease and warmth that would be built into a central unit. After going back and forward and doing plenty of research on all the various types of fireplaces, we came to the conclusion that you really need the ambience of an open fire and we settled on a double sided open wood fireplace. We were just about to order it when the installer confirmed our fears of heating and draft issues. This took us full circle back to a French model, Chazelles Chiminee, which offers both slow combustion & an open fire through the use of a glass counterweight door on one side. Usually they are built into a wall or central unit, but we loved the strong lines and industrial feel of the fireplace so much, we thought it should be as much of a feature as the fire itself. Our architect designed a long steel stand for the fireplace to sit on – as well as the wood and other items. Looking forward to Winter!

checking it with flue

that seems about right

A crane was needed for the stand

The Doors

As part of the design of THE SHED, we have two large doors that open to create an internal breezeway or indoor/outdoor space. The idea is to allow extra internal space during the cooler months and have a cool covered area during the warmer months, which we can expose or protect from prevailing breezes or winds respectively.

The North door is a glass fold up door 4 metres wide x 3 metres high and the Southern breezeway door is a ‘massive sliding wall’ also 4 metres wide…

The Green

The best part about our little patch (apart from the view) is the one beautiful acre of green green grass to play on, lie on and roll on and on and on….
