Above a sun-drenched bay on the island of Waiheke in Auckland's heavenly Hauraki Gulf, The Boatshed is a cool, crisp, and artistically superior luxury hotel.
Settled on the northern face of Little Oneroa Beach, The Boatshed is a hip hotel that brings to mind luxurious holiday homes sprawling across pristine white beaches in places like The Hampton's. But this is New Zealand, and luxury here is inventive, eclectic, and stylish. Especially in a boutique hotel like this one, owned by designer David Scott, and run by his impressively trained son, Jonathan.
Together, father and son welcome you to their idea of heaven ... a hotel that began as a holiday cottage on Waiheke Island and morphed into something much more. It now houses five luxury designer suites - three Boatshed suites, one Bridge suite, and one Lighthouse suite - all with beach, gulf, and sky views, sharing a wonderful restaurant.
The island itself is a home to vineyards, restaurants, holiday homes, artist's studios, and galleries, all flanked by golden sand beaches. Destination wedding, weekend getaway, or romantic rendezvous, The Boatshed will accommodate your every desire.
