The Boatshed

$$$$ | Tawa and Huia Sts., Auckland, 1081, New Zealand Fodor's Choice

If you feel like staying in a "lighthouse" without being responsible for the ships, the two-story turret suite at The Boatshed may be the place for you, though there are other equally luxurious options, and dinner can be a well-earned add-on. Up a spiral staircase, glass doors open to a wraparound deck with views to Oneroa Bay. A long central room leads to a sail-covered deck and opens onto a cozy sunken lounge. In the Bridge Room, bi-fold windows frame a view of the bay. There's also the Owner's Cottage for a special stay. Helicopter transport to and from the Boatshed can be arranged, and it's possible to order spa, massage, and yoga sessions. A Jeep is available for a small charge, but it has unlimited miles and fuel.

Pros

  • Gorgeous location with bay views
  • Lovely rooms, decks, and ccottages
  • Excellent food

Cons

  • Extremely expensive options
  • Some find the rooms small
  • Rooms close together
