Set along the picturesque Hatea River as it winds toward the vibrant Town Basin, this unique boatshed and accommodation blends the charm of a bygone era with modern comfort and convenience.

Wake each morning in a tranquil, sun-soaked setting right on the water, step aboard your boat for the day, then return to enjoy an evening drink on the deck as the sun sets over the harbour. If you have been searching for that missing lifestyle element, this could be it.

Bright, airy, and full of character, Shed 6154 forms part of an exclusive collection of approximately 12 boatsheds along Riverside Drive. With its rustic appeal, central location, and stunning riverside outlook, it offers a rare opportunity in an exceptionally tightly held enclave.

The resource consent allows for up to five nights per week staying on a boat, subject to council requirements for waste disposal and mooring compliance, as well as up to two nights per week in the shed’s bedrooms.
