    It was a very unique place to stay with great sunsets and walking trails. Enjoyed our time on the deck having a glass of wine and eating dinner.

    It is highly unusual and rustic. Many warm touches and enough tea towels and cookware etc so we are grateful. The location was very good for strolling along the river to the lower Basin of town and getting out to hike the heads

Water front boathouse unique studio in the heart of the Whangarei town basin, 5 minutes walk to city. The boat house is over the water with lovely views of the harbor. This is not a five star hotel, please manage your expectations.
Neighborhood description Our boat house is very central to the Whangarei town basin the heart of the city. Multiple coffee shops, restaurants and bars on the water front very close walking distance from town. There is a public swimming pool very close by and walking tracks we are right on the doorstep of the "Loop walking track" that circles right around the Whangarei Hatera river scenic area 4.2km around.
