The Woolshed
The Woolshed is a farm of 136 acres situated on the hills of Pukerua Bay north of Porirua, clothed in 40 acres of native bush, including some of the last remaining stands of kohekohe on the Kapiti Coast. The original Woolshed building with its stunning views over Kapiti Island has been converted into a home and retreat spaces, as well as work and seminar spaces for up to 20. The Woolshed is gardened organically – herbs, vegetables and fruit – and has three springs of clear water.
“When I was looking for a home and some land to open a health retreat more than 30 years ago, my criteria were a view of the sea, pure spring water, native bush, within commuting distance from Wellington and free of power pylons. It took me three years to find the perfect place and on a breathless, crisp, sunny day in August I stepped onto the land and knew I was home. You could say that the land sang to me.”
