The Potting Shed - A secret slice of paradise

The Potting Shed is a luxury escape set amongst native bush and farmland with a waterfall, stream, and extensive cottage gardens. 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.
