Just a short ferry ride from Auckland, it’s one of New Zealand’s most iconic boutique hotels, offering spectacular views, a private rooftop bath, and a true sense of island escape.
Rising three storeys above Little Oneroa Beach, the Watertower is wrapped in contemporary zinc and sits amid sweeping views of Oneroa and Blackpool beaches and the sparkling Hauraki Gulf. Guests love it for its effortless combination of comfort, style, and that laid-back Kiwi coastal vibe — perfect for a long weekend getaway or a special celebration.
