Description :
The Boatshed, Boutique Seaside Hotel is an exclusive island-style hotel just a short cruise from downtown Auckland. It is located above a sun-drenched bay on the island of Waiheke in Auckland’s spectacular Hauraki Gulf. The accommodations are luxurious and spacious and overlooks the seascape of Oneroa Bay.

About the property:
This intimate island-style hotel started its life as the small holiday cottage of designer David Scott, his dream of one day sharing this special place was realized with its perfectly executed transformation to what is now one of New Zealand best loved small hotels, still in the family, it is run by David’s son Jonathan, luxury hotel trained, bringing the creative attention to detail that really defines what a boutique “unique experience” hotel is all about.

Waiheke Island (pronounced Y- heckie) is an eclectic mix of vineyards with the finest red wines, sophisticated and alfresco restaurants, holiday homes, artist’s studios & galleries and golden sand beaches for swimming and seaside adventures. Leisure guests, romantic weekends, family parties, small weddings and retreats – book one suite or the whole hotel - fulfill your dreams. Step ashore at Maitiatia ferry wharf or alight at Waiheke’s airfield - The Boatshed welcomes you.

The Boatshed offers five unique and outstanding suites. “The Lighthouse” is their three-story retreat that captures the romance of a traditional lighthouse. This is The Boatshed's unique hideaway suite with separate bedroom and dayroom. The whitewashed, timber lined bedroom sets a mood of romance - wake up to glimmering waters across the bay. Climb the stairs to the top of The Lighthouse - a private haven. Glass doors open wide to sundecks and the huge panorama extending to the Hauraki Gulf and its myriad islands. Watch the sails of passing yachts.
“The Boatshed” suites are a sophisticated mix of classic and contemporary design. The Boatshed suites are reminiscent of a bygone era, of seaside cottages and lazy days on the beach - designed to pamper. Each suite is luxuriously appointed to ensure comfort. Fine cottons, fireside chaise lounge, cushions and throws. Each comes with its own fireplace. Open a bottle of wine and relax.
“The Bridge” suites are elegantly appointed with a private traditional porch, the bridge sits on the other side of the property. Tucked away this superking suite looks over spectacular views of Oneroa and the Hauraki Gulf, with the boats bobbing away in the waters below, - the perfect place to while away an afternoon with a good book and a glass of wine.

The Long Room is a fireside retreat to gather around, and the sheltered outdoor marquee pavilion is a place to laze. Dining is a must do. With excellent cuisine, fine New Zealand wines in a relaxed al fresco style. It could be joining the other houseguests in the dining room for a memorable Mediterranean feast, a private seafood platter for two on the balcony, or some old fashion comfort food in front of the fire.

If you feel the need for a little stress relief a massage is sure to unwind. A nice massage after breakfast is always a great start to the day or unwind in the early evening with a facial before dinner. Luxurious and fine hospitality…Rediscover simple pleasures!
