> PAUATAHANUI INLET BOATSHEDS

Enjoy the scenic walk along the Camborne Walkway featuring the historical and character filled boatsheds where the iconic poet Sam Hunt was inspired to produce his most famous works. The boatsheds have also been an inspiration for our local artists who have produced numerous colourful and vibrant paintings. These art pieces portray the sheds from different perspectives and add life and legend to the natural setting that they have the privilege to sit on. You will see why this magical and mystical place would be the inspiration for art and prose.
