About The Ship

The Ship on Cox's Bay is a renovated historic building on the waterfront at Cox's Bay, in Herne Bay, Auckland. It is listed at 55 West End Road, Westmere, and sits on the Esplanade Reserve. The website describes it as a waterfront venue for corporate and private events, meetings, conferences, strategy days and retreats. It is run by Hawke Sea Scouts, and the website says the venue is "a renovated historic building" with a view that it describes as multi-million dollar.

Corporate clients can add room set-up in their chosen layout and a pack-up after the event, and white linen tablecloths are available for hire. Enquiries are made through the website, where hire pricing is listed. The site also carries Scout method and values information. For a business or group wanting a waterfront venue for a meeting or retreat in Herne Bay, the hire terms set out what is included.
