The Boatshed

Inspired by the early 1900 boatsheds which scatter the shores up and down New Zealand, this contemporary ‘boatshed designed’ B&B captures the essence of New Zealand’s nautical heritage.

Just a 35 minute ferry ride across the beautiful Hauraki Gulf from Auckland, Waiheke's relaxed island lifestyle is an eclectic mix of vineyards, fabulous beaches, artists' studios and great food and wine!

The Boatshed enjoys an elevated position overlooking Oneroa Bay – it takes just a few minutes to get down to the beach, whilst the cafés and shops in nearby Oneroa village are only a ten minute walk away.

Choose between the three traditional Boatshed Suites which boast magnificent views over the bay, the unique three-storey Lighthouse Suite which enjoys pride of place with panoramic views (complete with telescope) from the top floor lounge and first floor bedroom – or ‘The Bridge’ – located above the main building with extra privacy and wonderful elevated views across the bay. October 2009 sees the addition of two spacious Boatshed Bungalows and a Spa to the retreat's stable.

Dining at the Boatshed is a ‘must’. You will enjoy excellent cuisine served with fine New Zealand wine in a relaxed setting. The menu showcases the local fresh, organic produce – with a special emphasis on succulent seafood. A picnic lunch for the beach can also be arranged.

This stylish seaside retreat is the perfect place to relax for a few days either at the beginning or end of your New Zealand holiday.
