Boat Shed

Perched right on the Nelson waterfront, the Boat Shed is a long-time favourite for its unbeatable views, top-notch food and laid-back coastal charm. The relaxed setting and stylish decor create the ideal backdrop for quality dining, all complemented by an impressive wine list that celebrates New Zealand’s finest drops.

The menu shifts with the seasons, always spotlighting fresh, local produce. Start with a tempting entrée or dive straight into standout mains like the braised short rib or pan-roasted market fish. Whatever you choose, be sure to save room for something sweet, like their classic vanilla and lemon cheesecake.

Not keen on choosing? Opt for the ‘Trust the Chef’ experience and let the kitchen surprise you with five curated courses, designed to be shared around the table. You can even leave the wine pairings to the experienced staff.

The beauty of dining at the Boat Shed? You get to choose your own adventure, all while soaking up one of the most spectacular views in Nelson.
