Beautiful, quiet, city centre, waterfront, views

CynthiaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
What a great place perfect for us and even room for the next time when our 3rd daughter can stay too- beautiful waterfront excellent location with a Woolworths metro literally across the road and walking distance to viaduct restaurants- in fact we walked into town it was lovely . The carpark(s) was very handy and Kim messaged us with clear instructions and her communication was exceptional. She kindly allowed us early check in and late check out which is invaluable when you have a short stay like a long weekend. Would definitely consider coming back the next time we stay in Auckland.

Gorgeous CBD Apartment, Parking,Netflix, AC,

NikkiRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Absolutely perfect place for the city if you need an overnight place. The location on fort street made this apartment a dream to get into the city and back from a night out! Very quiet residence and the room itself spectacular. I am surprised city apartments come in that size! The room was very cozy laid out beautifully with all the ammenities easily accessible. The lounge space was perfect for my friends and I to play our board games all night without cramming all in one space! The clear details and instructions made it easy to get settled and to pack up the next day. Hiral was very responsive and even made sure we didn’t have any other needs when we checked in. Thank you for having us stay was a lovely flat with a lovely host!

Lovely apartment. Great for two couples with ability to have privacy/space from one another when you want. We have stayed in this building a few times, and this is the best apartment we’ve had.

Peaceful Paradise

HelenRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Well what a view welcomed us as we entered Jos fab place!!! 🤩 We had such a great time. Clean and comfy especially the bed… we slept so well. Absolutely loved watching the bird life from the windows… so many Kingfishers!! The walk way to the beach was really great and such a lovely place to stroll at anytime of the day. Jo was so helpful and friendly yet left us to it giving us our privacy. Everything was great and we have already recommended it to others! 👍

Waterfront House Retreat

MonicaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
I stayed here with my parents, young kids, and small dog and had an amazing, relaxing holiday. The location is truly unmatched on a super quiet street right on the beach, with a well kept spa pool always waiting for us after we’d taken a dip in the ocean. Our little one loved going out in the canoe on the shallow water, and there was plenty of space for all of us in terms of bed and bathrooms. The kitchen came fully stocked with essentials and we appreciated the inclusion of a stand steamer for use before a big event. The place was also very pet friendly with full fencing and a self closing gate. We had a lovely stay with Amy and would definitely stay here again.

Cosy Winter Beach Retreat – Relax & Recharge

StevenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We absolutely loved our stay at Patrick’s beach house - it was everything we hoped for and more. The home was immaculate, beautifully modern, and thoughtfully laid out, with a spacious open-plan living area that made it perfect for our family. Waking up to the sunrise over the water through the lounge windows felt like something out of a travel magazine. The location is unbeatable - right across from a peaceful stretch of beach that’s perfect for morning walks, kid adventures, or simply unwinding with a coffee and the view. Having multiple bathrooms was a huge bonus, and the beds were super comfortable. Patrick was an excellent host – quick to respond, clear with communication, and genuinely welcoming. Easily one of the best Airbnbs we’ve experienced - we’re already planning our return! Cheers!

Piha Surf House - Piha Beach

SarahRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This is a really special wee bach - incredible views, well equipped, a great fire so the house was really toasty, and cute vintage decor. We took our tramping packs so the hike up was fine. William was a great host - we'll be back.

Luxury beach front apartment with the BEST views!

ChrisRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Repeat Customer This is just a very special place. We have stayed here multiple times. It feels like our home away from home. It’s just very unique to be in a very private building right in the middle of a fantastic beach town on what is probably the best urban beach in New Zealand. You will love it!

Apt Waterfront Specials!! Auckland Viaduct

JaredRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Great place. aweesome view if you love the harbour and boats. some clubs are loud over the weekend, but listening to live music on the deck is not as terrible as it sounds (and its alot quieter if youre inside with the doors/windows closed). The cafes, restaurants and bars that are on your doorstep have great food and atmosphere. I can recommend Giraffe, White and Wongs, and Wildfire from this trip. The ferry terminal is 5-10 minutes walk from your door, so exploring the islands in the hauraki Gulf is right there. Lots of shopping and malls are 5-10 minutes walk inland. it's a great location with everything very close by and what isn't, is just a short uber or lime/flamingo scooter ride away. Warm, caring host thats very helpful, responsive, and lovely to deal with. Thank you once again Becky.

Beaumont Residence - Auckland Waterfront Serenity

MaxineRating, 5 stars5 months ago
This is an amazing place to stay. The apartment is new, modern and clean. The furnishings are second to none. The location could not be any better. More than all of that, Michael goes above and beyond to be a first-class host. There are numerous extras such as cheese, fruit, fresh artisan bread just to name a few, which makes the whole experience really wonderful. Such a thoughtful host and I would highly recommend to anyone.
