Waterfront apartment rentals

Beautiful, quiet, city centre, waterfront, views
This was a great apartment to stay in, super easy to get in (very detailed instructions), handy to the Wynyard Quarter and the Viaduct. Great views, nice and spacious - fantastic for a group.

The Gables - Stunning Waterfront Apartment
Perfect place to stay in the perfect location!

Absolute Waterfront Oriental Bay
Perfect little apartment with great views. Very comfortable and has everything you need.

Viaduct Harbour Waterside Apartment with Heat Pump
Phenomenal location and unique location right on the marina, with spectacular views of Viaduct Harbour and Sky Tower.

Entire Apartment - Stunning City Pad
First class accommodation in a great location provided by an excellent and communicative host.

Quiet Viaduct Studio apartment with car park.
Perfect location for a stay in Auckland - the Viaduct area is lovely and all the key things are easily walkable. Apartment itself is perfect for 2. It’s spacious, clean and well equipped. We didn’t do any self-catering as there are loads of good restaurants nearby but you could with the facilities here.

Stay in Wellington - Victoria View
The apartment was perfect for our needs - so great to be so close to the waterfront, and nice and spacious.

Luxurious & Spacious Living w/ Breathtaking Views
The apartment is in the perfect spot on the viaduct. Second room was a little small and has no window, but two bathrooms were great for us travelling as two couples. Great living room and magnificent views. Will stay here again in the future.
Waterfront house rentals

Ocean Tides Beach House
Just as described - a great getaway on the beach, beautiful spot.

Haast's Lodge
Stunning home and just amazing views of Acacia Bay. Very well appointed home. It was everything we were hoping for. It was a bit confusing getting to the house with directions given but we made it eventually. Maybe a clearer number at the property would help. Apart from that we loved the place.

Tropical beach side cottage.
Lynley and David's place was the accommodation highlight of our 1 month in New Zealand. The front and back decks were wonderfully set up to relax at all times of the day.. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes which gave us a nice option of eating in or driving the few km to Thames for a meal out. I hope we're able to return.

Waterfront in Waimarama
My family and i really enjoyed our stay. Absolutely beautiful and a very peaceful place to relax and unwind. The view is absolutely stunning. Easy access to the beach and not far to the local store.

Riverfront home and cottage with spa and stage
We had an amazing time during our stay! The surroundings were absolutely stunning, making it the perfect escape. It’s truly a fantastic spot for larger groups looking to create unforgettable memories together.

Absolute Beachfront Oasis with Sea Views & Hot Tub
An absolutely fantastic stay at Sue’s beautiful home….. such divine and restful views from the deck and spa pool, beautiful gardens, the home was fantastic with everything we needed for our stay ….. everything was top notch …. Thoroughly recommend and we’d love to come back. Thanks so much!!!

Absolute Raglan waterfront, walk to the village
We loved our stay at Chris and Kathryn's place. It is a beautiful peaceful location right on the water and we really appreciated the use of the kayak and paddleboard. The house is spacious and well equipped and the sleepout was really nice and modern. We would definitely stay again.

Riverside holiday home. 15 min to Taupō.Sleeps 13.
We loved our stay and Gail was a great host. The property was perfect for our large group and we loved the swimming hole down by the river. I would definitely recommend this property for anyone wanting a remote get away.

OTEHEI Luxury Apartment - Bay of Islands Marina
A great apartment at the Bay of islands Marina. Perfect for yachties and general tourists alike.

SEAduction luxury Apartment ( 2 bed/bath)
Had a great stay at Jane’s fabulous apartment. Lovely views over the marina and decorated beautifully. Lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance. Would highly recommend!!

Harbour Palms Apartmentt
Vicki hosted me, my partner and our cat as I had business to attend to in Whangārei. The place was just as described in the listing with clear instructions and prompt communication which suited our needs. Vicki was also understanding of our travel arrangements and was able to accomodate our added request which I appreciated. I didn't get a chance to write in the visitor's book but I sure would've shared the same positive feedback. A highlight for me was seeing a kererū in the tree (which I don't get to see in Auckland). Our cat had a blast and was settled.

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 Beachfront 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😊

Raglan Silos - Waters Edge apartment
Fantastic apartment in a unique building, walkable to all of the restaurants and attractions in Raglan, while being more peaceful then places right in town. Denise was very communicative, and provided a lot of great local recommendations.

Beach loft Magic
We had an amazing time at Jo’s place. We received very clear instructions, the place was so beautiful with an amazing view. Perfect time to relax. We will definitely be back.

Roomy waterfront city apartment
Highly recommend this accomodation to all travellers - beautiful spot and had everything you need in the air BnB, extremely proactive hosts too! Thank you again for hosting me.
