Sleeping on a boat is an experience like no other.

And this isn't like your giant cruise boat experience.

No, on our boat you can feel the gently bob of the ocean under you.

You can hear the lap, lap, lap of the waves against the boat.

You can feel the wind through your cabin from your own balcony if you leave the door open!

New Zealand’s Biggest House Boat

The Rock as she is today was custom-built by Peter and Stacee Honey in 1999.

But she started out life as a car ferry long before being converted to a comfortable floating lodge.

Originally The Rock was a purpose-built car ferry, working as the ‘Normville’, running from Opua to Okiato (New Zealand’s first capital) she was the first car ferry there to run on her own power.

Later she was moved to the west coast of Northland, New Zealand. There in the Hokianga Harbour, her second life began as the ‘Rawhiti’, again working as a car ferry crossing the Hokianga Harbour. It was here that Peter and Stacee Honey spotted her and saw the potential for a whole different life for the boat.
