November 2019Secluded Getaway
Took our family to the Boathouse and had a wonderful quiet getaway. The property has more than enough of everything and a great layout, it is be perfect for large and small families or even 3. The location is just off the beach and down from the only general store in town. we went off season and although had to prepare and organized food to last, we had perfect weather and it was blissfully quiet. Next time leave the kids and enjoy more of the many wineries available. ”

May 2019Beautiful spot !
We had the best stay in Hawke’s Bay with great beaches and sunrises just a short walk from the house, enjoyed great hikes and amazing food and wine at several wineries. The landscape and hills are breathtaking and the house is perfect for a family or group with great entertaining spaces and an easy kitchen to prepare meals. Our hosts were most welcoming and helpful when it came to any questions as well as ideas for things to do and see - if we get the chance to return to NZ and Hawkes Bay, this would be a stop we would love to repeat!”

April 2019Beautifully appointed home and location close to beach
This is our second stay at The Boathouse and it was yet again an exceptional week and a great place to recharge with the family. Even though we visited in Autumn (April), kids were still able to swim in the pool (a little chilly for the adults) and the roaring outdoor fire place in the evenings created a lovely ambiance and plenty fun for the kids and marshmallows ! Masses of books and board games available to use in the home also. The beach at Waimarama is only a 5 minute walk, and is lovely all year round - great for morning / evening walks. Nearby (20 minutes drive) is Havelock North - a quaint town with exceptional biking trails and wineries, along with excellent food options. The Boathouse for us was a great week as a family retreat on this occasion, however we would not hesitate to return again - maybe next time bring some friends so we can enjoy good company and good food accompanied with a glass of wine or few in some of the world class wineries that the Hawkes Bay is growing famous for !”
