    It is unique. A brilliant difference from the ho-hum motel accommodation. I just loved it. At first glance I thought it might be quite basic, not that I was going to mind that, I was so pleased to get the booking to somewhere a little left...

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.
