Star Boating Club was founded in 1866, making it New Zealand’s oldest rowing club. Twenty years later, the members who proudly wear blue and white moved into their third and current shed. This waterfront, Category 1 Historic Place was designed by William Chatfield to be portable. It was relocated several times until reaching its current position along Whairepo Lagoon in 1991. The Boat Shed is also available for special events such as weddings.
