Inspired by the early 1900 boat sheds that are visible along the country’s shores, the Boatshed Seaside Boutique Hotel is situated on a sun drenched bay on the island of Waiheke, off the coast of Auckland. Featuring five designer suites, two villas and a salt inspired spa, all with spectacular views of the ocean, the hotel offers guests the opportunity to rediscover simple pleasures. Guests can take a stroll along the vineyards, restaurants, artist studios and galleries or along the golden, sandy beaches. Dining at the hotel is a relaxed affair, where guests can enjoy a Mediterranean feast or a private seafood platter on the balcony.
