Waterfront apartment accommodation

Beautiful, quiet, city centre, waterfront, views
Apartment is ideally located for a central city get away. A lovely outlook and modern amenities.

Seacliff VILLA - Luxury apartment, sea views.
Wow, Lynne's home was amazing. The view from all the window was spectacular. We throughly enjoyed watching the sunset over the bay with Auckland way off in the distance. It was idyllic. Everything was spotlessly clean with good quality linen and towels and the bed was super comfy. Lynne was a more than perfect host. She was super friendly and helpful and supplied us with lots of delicious treats. We would highly recommend anyone to stay here .

Gorgeous CBD Apartment, Free Carpark, Netflix, AC
Fantastic location, beautiful and perfectly clean and spacious new apartment, very responsive host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Entire Apartment - Stunning City Pad
Great location, Nice and clean. 10/10 will definitely be booking again next time we are in Auckland.

Metropolis dream - Prime Auckland CBD location!
Located in the city center, this place has a great view and good facilities, so I had a very comfortable rest. The accessibility was also good, making our trip even more enjoyable because of the very convenient and friendly host to get around. This is the best place I would stay again if I have a chance next time.

Luxury on Auckland's Viaduct *BEST LOCATION*
Great location if you have an event to go to but definitely grab those earplugs or noise cancelling headphones for weekend club noise :)

Upstairs house/apartment = Beach Front Escape
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house, just like home! The view is stunning overlook the sea and the beach. The house is very bright, clean and spacious with full kitchen and everything we needed. The bed is very comfortable as well. Mark and Rebecca are great hosts, very nice, friendly and helpful. Hope to come back again one day!

Orewa by the Beach - Coastal living
Thanks for the wonderful stay! Modern, spotless, everything you need for a short stay. The bed was 'divine' and we really appreciated all the small touches, it was like staying in a 5 star hotel. We hope to be back :)

Miro Beach House at Palm Beach
Great place to stay, just a few flat steps from Palm Beach.. recommend.

Beachside Retreat in Browns Bay!
Richard and his family are great hosts. They kindly let us check in earlier and notified us as soon as the place was ready. His daughter was very sweet and provided ours with a soft toy as she was very upset due to being unwell. thanks for having us!

Piha Surf House - Piha Beach
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Piha, The house is one of a kind and makes for a memorable visit. The view is worth the walk.

Beachfront house in a little piece of paradise
Lynette was super friendly and helpful, the house was comfortable and in a perfect location. We had such a happy, peaceful stay but with plenty to do. Thanks Lynette!

Outlook Muriwai
This place is the most amazing Muriwai accommodation. Seeing the beach and surf report right from the balcony was a real treat! But the home and soroundings are also so beautiful and welcoming. We live nearby in Auckland and already had what we needed with us but Clare made sure we know she would be there for us to help and provide anything we're missing. The cafe and literally the cool shop up the road are a 5 minute drive and 22 minute walk away. Thank you so much for having us Clare! We're so grateful and we had an amazing time.

Exceptional Waterfront House Auckland
House was beautiful with amazing views. Both the pool and the hot tub were wonderful and the beach was short (10 min) walk. the kitchen and grill were great cooking and we loved all the Polish pottery! Overall, great location and house for our family.

Footsteps From The Beach, Auckland New Zealand
This was the perfect place for us (4 sisters) treating our 90 yr old mum for her birthday. We rented both upstairs and downstairs so plenty of space and very easy for our mum to get around. The beachfront location was amazing. Gabrielle was very accommodating with a couple of requests we had and always prompt in replying. We would not hesitate to rent here again.

Art Deco by the sea Takapuna
An absolutely charming place to stay in a perfect location. Patrick could not have been more helpful and everything was provided. It felt like home from the moment we arrived
Waterfront condo accommodation

Apt Waterfront Specials!! Auckland Viaduct
Great location in the heart of the Auckland CBD. Very secure location within walking distance of great shopping, restaurants and sights. Highly recommend for families, couples or anyone traveling on a cruise before/after as the ship was right next door.

Central City Harbour Views
Very nice apartment with carpark and swimming pool. Easy to walk into CBD or Viaduct. Would stay again thanks

Skytowerview+seaview +private balcony apartment
The view, the view, the view. We could have spent our whole time sitting on the patio looking at the view. Very centrally located and easily walkable to many restaurants, stores, and attractions. Beds are on the firmer side. Nice to have a bathtub and the extra space (more than what you would get in a hotel). Would definitely stay again.

Marina View with Car Park
Linley's apartment was perfect! A beautifully setup place to relax in which had everything you needed, even down to a portacot for our little one. There a as also a swimming pool, spa and a carpark available. A quick walk to lovely cafes, and the Viaduct and downtown CBD. Just a perfect location! Linley was extremely helpful prior to our arrival and we would most definitely recommend a stay at this awesome air bnb. Thanks so much for everything Linley, and also to Karin! 🙂

5 Star Beachside Living.
We loved staying here! We were able to communicate with the hosts with ease. The Airbnb is within walking distance of restaurants, grocery stores and everything in between. Irene is really accomodating and had come down to check on us to see if we needed anything which was nice. The facilities were great. Personally, the pictures don’t do the property justice! We were pleasantly surprised at how spacious and homely it was. Most definitely would stay here again if I’m in the area next time😊

Absolute Beachfront Paradise! Milford, North Shore
Pia and Andy are exceptional hosts! Their home is a true slice of paradise, exactly as described. Pia and I stayed in constant communication, and her deep knowledge of the area and Kiwi culture made the experience even more special. Their place is fully equipped with everything you need to feel right at home, and the kitchen is stocked with all the essentials—and then some! Pia and Andy went above and beyond and they also came to our rescue. When my grandmother was swept away by the currents on a paddleboard, they quickly called the local coast guard and came to pick us up, along with our equipment, from a nearby beach. If I could give this place a 20 out of 10, I absolutely would. Highly recommend it, and I can’t wait to return someday!

Luxury beach front apartment with the BEST views!
Secret Penthouse Beach Escape Its vibrant and peaceful at the same time. It’s surreal to be in such a beautiful, modern, high-tech private penthouse while also being moments away from a vibrant beachside affluent suburb and the sand, waves and views of Rangitoto on Takapuna Beach. This is a very special place.

Rooftop Pool,Gym,Spa, TennisCourt in Downtown AKL
Location, location, location! Michelle’s apartment is in the heart of Auckland. Walkable to the harbourfront, CBD, shopping, bus and train. The unit had the amenities necessary for a very comfortable stay and Michelle was responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend!
