"Perched just up the hill from the white sands of Oneroa Beach on Waiheke Island, the Boatshed fulfills the wainscoted, shuttered, pitch-roofed holiday images that dwell in the minds of beach lovers the world over. Originally the vacation cottages of designer David Scott, the Boatshed now offers six sun-drenched accommodations that complement the laid-back island vibe—a magnet for a free-spirited set of artists, vintners, chefs, and water lovers. Many furnishings were custom-designed by the Scott family and exude the feeling of a boat cabin, especially when placed among the built-in shelves and cabinetry of the bachs —the local word for an authentic New Zealand beach shack. Accommodations range from old boat sheds to a three-story tower that feels like a lighthouse, and outdoor decks provide many opportunities to enjoy the sea breeze. The boutique hotel was the realization of Daniel Scott’s dream—to share the simple pleasures of the beach life with travelers from around the globe."
This beautiful, quaint property is a gem on the island. We stayed in one of the bungalows and had everything we needed. They were so comfortable, convienant and relaxing. The food at the Boatshed was elegant and delicate - some of the best meals we had on our trip. The staff are a 10! All of them. So kind and attentive and go out of their way to make your trip exceptional.

This is a lovely boutique hotel with fabulous views over the bay at breakfast and dinner. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff could not be more friendly and helpful. The food (with much produce from their garden) is tasty and plentiful and it is delightful to eat on separate tables which offer privacy, but share the stunning views. Jeeps are available to hire by the day for touring the island. The wine list is short, but allows some sampling of local wines. Who could ask for anything more.

A really fabulous place to stay. Very comfortable rooms with attractive beachside decor. Lovely views of the sea from the terrace. Excellent dinner available each night for hotel guests only. Best of all were the charming and very welcoming team who looked after us. After four days there we were immensely relaxed and loving the Waiheke life.

The Boatshed makes for a dream getaway! We stayed leading up to Christmas for three days to start our trip to NZ and it was lovely. The meals (breakfast and dinner) are delicious, the staff is charming and helpful, the views are stunning, and the decor is the perfect beach chic. We also rented one of their picnic trucks for the day to explore the island and that was very easy and fun. The resident pup, Harry, is a delightful character to only adds to the charm. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

The boatshed was our favorite hotel that we stayed at during our recent NZ trip. The accommodations are comfortable and well thought out, staff is lovely and food is incredible. If we were to go again we would plan to dine in every night for dinner. We will be back!!

I can't say enough about this hotel, owners and staff. The place is first class with all kinds of little special touches you can't even imagine. From owner transport to welcome drinks to cookies and soft drinks in the room, every detail is thought of and delivered with love. The chef is an exceptional talent, and breakfast and dinners are a culinary experience that shouldn't be missed. The design and views of the hotel are as unique as the experience. The bungalows are roomy, so comfortable with beautiful views. Access to renatl car for the day is a great touch. Thanks to everyone for making our first trip to Waiheke memorable.

We stayed at The Boatshed for our first few nights in NZ, and used the quiet and beauty of this inn to adapt time zones. The hosts are incredibly kind and generous, and helped us with our wine tours and hiking plans. We dined there one night and it was one of the best meals we had in NZ - simply delicious. Highly recommend.

Welcome home to paradise! From the instant you arrive, you are met with warmth, comfort, attention, a gorgeous view and delicious food. Rooms are beautifully appointed and probably the most comfortable bed EVER. The staff all go all out to make your experience the best. Be sure to also ask to be connected with Chris for driving, wine touring, etc and you'll have an experience you'll smile about for the rest of your life. Can't wait to come back!
