The Boathouse Accommodation
|
 Imagine awakening to the sound of sea lapping the shore outside your window, and the call of the kingfisher, as the Bay of Islands beckons you. Open your eyes to watch sparks of sunlight bounce off the water. Imagine having breakfast, sipping your favourite tea or coffee, leaning on the kitchen bar. You're almost awake as you watch the yachts arrive and depart Opua harbour. If you're an early bird, you can watch the sun rise over the Waikare Inlet. Imagine sitting on the deck, the sea beneath you, a small yacht sailing past, the ferry taking off. You are catching your first fish from the balcony, the wonderful aromas from the barbecue promise a great meal. Imagine lounging on the comfortable suede suite in the large lounge, looking out to sea, towards Waitangi and beyond, and listening to your favourite music; the fishing boats have returned for the evening. The seagulls area yawning, so are you. Accommodation The Boathouse consists of two stylish, modern luxury apartments with a nautical theme, designed and meticulously created over two years by fine craftsmen. It opened in 2003 for discerning travellers. The apartments are located entirely over the water in the heart of the township of Opua adjacent to the car ferry to Russell and, on the other side, the Opua beach. Both apartments offer sweeping views over the Bay of Islands from Veronica Channel to Waitangi, the Black Rocks and beyond. Each apartment has a living area, including balconies, of 142mē (over 1500 sq. ft.) They are fully self-contained including a spacious lounge, fully equipped kitchen and laundry, and outdoor furnishing including gas barbecue. The Boathouse is within minutes walk of the Opua Marina and the Opua-Paihia coastal walkway.
