SANDY BEACHES OF ONEROA
Sitting above the sun-drenched bay and sandy beaches of Oneroa in Waiheke Island, this small, nautically-inspired hotel is loved for its seaside setting, its designer suites and its casual yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Just 35 minutes by ferry from Auckland, The Boatshed enjoys a relaxed island setting close to the beach and local markets. Waiheke Island itself has an eclectic mix of vineyards,
alfresco restaurants and artists’ studios to discover in between coastal walks and pampering spa treatments. The hotel has its own fleet of Mini Mokes which are perfect for exploring the island in.
The bright and sunny suites are understated in style and luxuriously appointed with soft Italian linens, day beds and throws to ensure utmost comfort. Each offers panoramic views of the bay and the gulf from a private deck. The three ‘Boatsheds’ are reminiscent of seaside cottages with their louvered shutters and teak sun loungers, whilst the Owner’s Cottage comes with a full kitchen and heated pool.
Dining consists of Mediterranean-style cuisine prepared using fresh, organic produce – some from the onsite gardens – accompanied by New Zealand wines and served in a relaxed, al fresco setting.
