About

On North Island, The Tasting Shed occupies 609 State Highway 16, Kumeū 0891, New Zealand. The restaurant is known for its seasonal menu and garden setting, with a website at thetastingshed.co.nz. First-time visitors should expect a relaxed room where the kitchen works with what the surrounding land provides.

An average of 4.5 out of 5 from 435 reviews gives the restaurant a solid standing among diners. Kumeū sits west of Auckland, and the drive from the city along State Highway 16 is straightforward, with Wellington, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier and New Plymouth all reachable across the island.

Traffic drives on the left across New Zealand, and hire cars are the usual way to travel on the larger islands. New Zealand weather is changeable, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate.

Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast. Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840.
