Welcome to New Zealand's ultimate sporting man cave - or she shed.
This customised container boasts a $30,000 spa pool, a 65-inch TV worth $11,000 and matching La-Z-Boy chairs - and you can win it.
The $85,000 man-pad has been set up near Degree Gastrobar at Auckland's Viaduct for thenext six weeks.
It is the brainchild of Newstalk ZB host Tony Veitch, who is giving it away in a competition on his radio show and his Veitchy on Sport Facebook page.
"Everyone should have one and I am loath to give it up," he said. "I would quite happily live in this."
The quirky sporting sanctuary also comes with two top-of-the-range road bikes, a $2000 barbecue and $5000 worth of gardening equipment. It is topped off with a year's supply of KFC.
Veitch said. "Every man cave should should be allowed plenty of really good, bad food."
Veitch came up with the idea for the man cave when he toured the country during the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
"On my travels I came across some amazing pads so thought I'd create one of my own this time."
Sports fans can also enter a competition to spend a night in the comfy man cave over the next six weeks - with food and drinks thrown in.
"I don't know what the resource consent people would say about it, but this is the sort of accommodation that could easily be put at the bottom of your garden," Veitch said.
To enter, Veitch wants people to send him short videos portraying why they believe they are New Zealand's biggest sports fan.
The winner will be announced in early November. "It might be classed as a man cave but I would like to hear from women sports fans who would like to win it too," Veitch added.
