A waterfront function venue on the peaceful banks of the river at Riverhead, about 25 minutes from central Auckland, for weddings, celebrations, corporate events and meetings. The Boat House has expansive decks, manicured lawns and an indoor-outdoor flow, and its flexible layouts suit formal dinners, cocktail events and product launches. It is reached by car, by ferry or by private boat, and the events team plans thoughtfully curated menus. The website says it opens to the public on selected Sundays for Sunday Live during summer, so check before you go. It is at 68 Queen Street in Riverhead.
