Beautiful, quiet, city centre, waterfront, views
Great location, just a few minutes walk from many harbourfront restaurants, cafés and bars and great to have the sunrooms overlooking the water Kim was brilliant, helpful and fast to communicate and we had a great stay The included Gym and Pool are 30 seconds walk from the apartment and that was a bonus Thanks, Kim

Seacliff VILLA - Luxury apartment, sea views.
Lynne is truly the best host we’ve ever had. She welcomed us with a big smile, warmth, and kindness that instantly made us feel at home. The place is absolutely lovely, with breathtaking views, excellent bedding, and beautiful furniture. Everything was thoughtfully prepared,homemade muffins (they were amazing!), snacks, chocolates, and even asking for our milk and wine preferences! Her hospitality truly went above and beyond. Lynne made sure we had everything we needed and was incredibly attentive throughout our stay. We left feeling relaxed and really appreciated the care she put into every detail. Highly recommend—we’d definitely book again. Thanks, Lynne!

Gorgeous CBD Apartment, Parking,Netflix, AC,
Great apartment in central Auckland. Close to many restaurants and cafes (Murdoch's being a standout). Had a ball.

Viaduct Harbour Waterside Apartment with Heat Pump
Great location, close to everything including some fantastic restaurants, a woolies and cafe basically at your door, and easy connection to the city centre. The fish and chips shop is fantastic. The property had everything we needed for a fantastic city holiday.

Entire Apartment - Stunning City Pad
What a nice apartment! Excellent location and nice host! Simon was very friendly and went out of his way to accommodate my need for early check-in. It is very quiet but conveniently located to a bunch of downtown attractions. The host gave excellent recommendations to local restaurants. Would definitely consider staying here again!

Pavilions Marina 104 | Wynyard Quarter | Viaduct
Thank you for a wonderful stay. Lara’s apartment is located close to the marina and overlooks the water ! It’s very peaceful and quiet. Just a few minutes walk to the hustle and bustle of the marina and its restaurants. But still very peaceful and we could get a good night’s sleep. Furniture, kitchen and equipments all seem very new and modern with no signs of wear and tear. Parking was very convenient , right under the apartment. We highly recommend this apartment if you are looking for a place in Auckland.

Safe, Self-Contained Own Private Apt Sub-Penthouse
Great location! Lots of restaurants, shops, department stores, etc. In walking distance. Great public transportation. Lots to see nearby. Great host! Lack of central ventilation could be problem if you like coocking. A/C would be nice.
Waterfront house rentals

Murrays Gem l Modern 4bed Stunner l Sea View & Spa
A nice house, large room with on suit on the top floor, a double room on the ground floor where the entrance, living room and kitchen are located and 2 bedrooms on a floor below that. Kane was responsive to everything and helped get things fixed after a storm even during Easter so it was much appreciated.

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

Red Beach cliff top paradise
The house was beautiful, great decks, great views five star plus. Love the hot tub. Use the garage for plan some darts and a bit of poor. Pretty close walk to the beach. Didn’t want to leave. Thank you so much. 😊 😊

Piha Surf House - Piha Beach
This is my second stay at William's lovely house. The house is super cozy, well appointed, and the views are amazing. I highly recommend it. Do pay attention to the stairs, there are a lot, but worth the effort!

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.

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.

Beachfront Arkles Bay
The view was wonderful. Great location. Kayaks & water equipment were in great condition. Beds firm & very comfortable. Water pressure great. Appreciated that kitchen had a decent, sharp set of knives, a nice touch.

Perfect holiday accommodation
Where do I begin! Staying at Suyun’s home was magical! My family stayed here before my wedding day and it was so perfect. The house was even better than we imagined, with a beautiful lounge with floor to ceiling windows that looked out to the gorgeous scenery. A quick walk down the road took me to the beach to watch the sunrise. Suyun was kind, thoughtful and generous. I would definitely recommend!

Apt Waterfront Specials!! Auckland Viaduct
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.

Central City Harbour Views
Maree was a lovely host and her apartment was so elegant and tasteful and filled with pretty things - it was a real treat to get to stay there. :)

Skytowerview+seaview +private balcony apartment
Fantastic! Ivanli was a delight to deal with. Friendly responsive communication. Clear instructions for getting the key and convenient key lockbox next to the building. Apartment is a little worn but welcoming and well presented. Comfy firm beds with quality pillows and linen. Quiet and peaceful night. Incredible shower pressure. Functional kitchen. Perfect central location, close to plenty of cafes restaurants supermarket and shops. And the balcony! Even better than the photos. It is huge and the views from sky tower across the harbour, just stunning. Absolutely amazing place to stay. Highly recommend Ivanli and his apartment.

Marina View with Car Park
The location of the air bnb is right next to the harbor area and many things are within walking distance. This was a great location, clean and the host was so easy to work with. I would rent this unit again and I highly recommend it to others.

5 Star Beachfront Living.
Had an awesome time and stay. Extremely close to the town and walking distance to great restaurants and shops. Irene and Neil were great hosts and very friendly.

Absolute Beachfront Paradise! Milford, North Shore
Pia was a wonderful host, welcoming us in person and making us feel right at home. Her place has the most well stocked kitchen I've ever seen in an Airbnb and it was so convenient to have little things like spices, cling wrap, etc. The apartment was furnished very thoughtfully and there is plenty of room to lounge around and relax. The location could not be better with the beach as your backyard. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here!

Luxury beach front apartment with the BEST views!
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!

Beach Front Apartment - Dream Lifestyle
Beautiful beach front location with great homely amenities. Pictures make the space look small - very spacious and cosy. 10/10 would stay again!
