I love this beautiful hotel on the stunning island, Waiheke, off the coast of Auckland. You are welcomed immediately you drive up to the hotel. I had the Tower bedroom which was just gorgeous. Level 1 was the entry area and bathroom, with a beach bag, towels, sun hats and sun screen (I love that touch). One floor up a... More

My husband and I have just returned from 4 wonderful days on Waiheke Island staying at the Boatshed. What an amazing place to stay! The decor is tasteful, Johnathon the host is warm and welcoming without being intrusive and the breakfast and dinners were up there with the best we have eaten all around the world. Johnathon packed a picnic... More

If, like us, you fly into Auckland Waiheke Island is a 30 minute ferry ride away and is a much better start to your holiday than Auckland. The Boat Shed is one of the most creatively and intelligently designed properties I have ever visited. It is how I imagine the very best of East Coast America to be. We had... More

My sister and I have just shared four blissful days at the Boatshed - it was our first time in Little Oneroa and at the Boatshed. Jonathan is a consummate host and GM - his easy style and manner helps guests immediately relax; the staff and particularly the chef were at all times so helpful. The service is outstanding. The...

Marooned! Rather, we have voluntarily walked the plank. The Auckland to Coromandel ferry has broken down and Mrs Jones has been convinced to jump ship, for a night on Waiheke Island in Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf. After a couple of hasty phone calls Jonathan, our host at The Boatshed, arranges transport and we travel the length of the island to this... More

We spent two lovely nights here, a great place to get over jet lag. The Lighthouse had everything one could want, was very comfortable, and had extras such as a Nespresso machine and jars of biscuits and sweets. It is in a lovely position overlooking a small beach, very quiet at night and not far to walk into town. The... More

My husband and I stayed at The Boatshed 3 nights and it was pure bliss. The service is excellent without being overbearing, the breakfast spread with the different poached fruit every morning is amazing and I can't say enough about how completely relaxing and serene the place is..the sound of the the wind blowing thru the long grass, the freshness...

The perfect place for a wind down holiday, be pampered and feel at home as soon as you cross the threshold. The accommodation is faultless and unique. Food is made to order in an "open kitchen" area and to suit your specific taste buds. Staff are very friendly and will collect you at the Ferry when you arrive. Situated at... More

The fact that the Boatshed is located in one of the most picturesque and idealistic settings in New Zealand certainly helps, but this hotel stay was quite possibly one of the best my husband and I ever had anywhere. The stay was our last stop on our New Zealand honeymoon tour, and we certainly "saved the best for last" in... More
