Fabulous City Apartment with Stunning Ocean Views
This is a lovely apartment right in the heart of the Viaduct which is busy and buzzy. There is always something to watch. The apartment was clean and well appointed with everything you could need. I loved staying there and will be back.

Luxury two bedrooms + car park
Thanks Yang for a fantastic place to stay. Really comfortable and close to the shops and cafes.

City Penthouse with Panoramic Ocean Views
Well worth the money . Will highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay in the viaduct area,close to bars and restaurants. The hosts well help and great communication. Thanks for great getaway.

Viaduct Marina Executive Stay with carpark
Location, location, location. Perfect setting, literally on the marina (boats outside balcony) in the Wynyard Quarter adjacent to Viaduct Harbour. Located between Sofitel and Park Hyatt hotels ... gives a good indication of the neighbourhood. Supermarket and takeaway shops across the street, many restaurants within 5 min walk, or 10 min across Lifting Bridge to the centre of city (Britomart etc..). Secure basement parking, pool, spa, sauna and gym are all great additional benefits especially if staying a bit longer. Mark was a very responsive host, meeting us at the property and providing a quick tour of the facilities. He also lives in the same complex if you need any urgent help. For a couple, the space is very generous, with ensuite bathroom plus additional toilet. Both indoor and outdoor dining areas. We didn't use the kitchen. Washer and dryer in separate laundry with plenty of cleaning supplies. No TV in the bedroom if that is an issue for you.

Peaceful Paradise
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! 👍

Luxury on Auckland's Viaduct *BEST LOCATION*
The place and location was amazing and well worth the surprise. Wished we could have stayed longer and highly recommend Emma's place.

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.

Browns bay/Waiake with great sea views.
We had friends around the corner in Torbay. Browns Bay is bigger and only a short (steep) walk down. The Bark and Brew was our fave coffee place. I swam the bay every day. Safe beech. Spacious accommodation with a proper lounge and separate bedroom. Great bed. I think the telly is Sky but we never turned it on! Good wifi. Loads of stuff in the kitchen. It’s all just great!
Waterfront house rentals

Beautiful 1 bedroom house
Very nice place to stay, comfortable outdoor area with porch. Great amenities. Good host communication.

Murrays Gem l Modern 4bed Stunner l Sea View & Spa
The house was great, awesome location, beautiful views, easy walk to the beach and local cafe, all amenities were provided, spa was a nice bonus. The whole family enjoyed there stay, beds were comfortable, everything was clean and tidy, Kane was responsive on the only query we had which was how to use the tv downstairs. We would definitely stay here again.

Taimana, Surfdale Beach Front| Be My Guest Waiheke
We had a great stay in Waiheke! The house was cozy, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The shower had amazing water pressure—definite brownie points from me for that! The oven was a little tricky to figure out without a manual, but we managed in the end. All in all, a lovely place to stay and would happily come back.

Takapuna Beachfront w/Stunning Views
The house was a perfect fit for two small families. Great view and location. Host was very responsive. Would recommend and stay again.

Gorgeous Mission Bay. 7 min to city. Spa & Parking
Michael was the host that we worked with and he was wonderful!! He was very responsive, friendly and gave us great recommendations! We really enjoyed our stay!!

Awhitu Zen
Barbara and Stanley have a wonderful place to stay. They are helpful, friendly, and accomodating. Plus we must mention the banana muffins!

Spacious tree house with stunning harbour views
Great location when you are looking for a quiet space, surrounded by trees and a view of Manukau Estuary.

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!
Waterfront apartment rentals

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
Absolutely loved our stay! The place was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described. The host was incredibly responsive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Great location close to everything but still peaceful. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

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
We had a fantastic 5 night stay whilst on Auckland’s North Shore visiting friends and family. Browns Bay is a beautiful area with plenty of great restaurants and shops and the beach is one of the best in the area. The apartment is beautifully furnished with absolute beachfront views. The apartment itself is spacious and spotless and has everything you need for a long stay. We will definitely be using this as our base for future visits and recommend anyone considering this place to take advantage of it. Thank you Adele for your hospitality.
