The Boat House overlooks the water and Waiheke Island, acting as a perfect setting for conferences, product launches, Christmas parties or even a place to relax. Staying guests have use of a spa pool, deck and front lawn which provides ample room for lawn games and other activities. A fully equipped kitchen allows the resident chef to prepare and serve the finest cuisine.
One of our top picks for the Winter Warmer is both The Whiskey Room and Library, and The Parlour - each absolute perfection with roaring fires for a cold winters evening. Guests can finish the day on the beach with a bonfire, blankets, hot water bottles, and roasting marshmallows by the waters edge!
