Waterfront apartment rentals

Beautiful, quiet, city centre, waterfront, views
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.

Beach Studio Retreat!
Accommodation was exactly as described, was spacious, very clean and tidy, quiet, and with direct access to the beach and Browns Bay retail and hospitality areas. Karen was proactive in and responsive to all communication. She was very welcoming and provided good recommendations to local amenities. Definitely recommended and we hope to stay again in the future.

Wynyard Living, Large Balcony and Parking
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.

Luxurious & Spacious Living w/ Breathtaking Views
We had a lovely stay in this spacious apartment by the wharf. The host was very responsive and helpful. The apartment is central to many bars and restaurants. I loved the view and the ability to walk out in the morning with my coffee and watch the sunrise. It was very nice to have two separate bedrooms and bathrooms, especially traveling with our two daughters! I would 100% rent this apartment again.

Luxury on Auckland's Viaduct *BEST LOCATION*
Emma was a great host place was well appointed. Great location 👌🏽

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.

Cockle Beach Apartment
Beautiful spot, friendly hosts but we were left to our own devices which was great. Stunning views and awesome location. It was great we could take our dogs and we all felt right at home. Loved the decor and art work and the attention to detail down to the matching crockery! An added bonus would have been a little table and chairs outside to sit at. But we loved it and would love to come back again. Thank you!

Orewa by the Beach - Coastal living
Thanks for sharing you lovely property. Great location for the beach, and just a nice stroll to the cafes and restaurants

Beautiful 2 bedroom house

Waterfront House Retreat
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.

Highbrook Views
Lovely place, quiet and private with a really nice outlook.

Poolside Retreat in Halfmoon Bay | Seaview|Parking
We had a wonderful stay at Lee's place. It was a lovely house, was very clean and had lots of space for all of us. The area was peaceful, safe and had wonderful views of the ocean. Lee and Joe were wonderful hosts. We appreciated their quick responses and helpful recommendations.

Piha Surf House - Piha Beach
Fabulous stay, the stairs are real so pack light. Thank you

Beach, BBQ and Sunshine
The view from Duane's place is stunning! Everything was clean and tidy and we loved the location. Beds were comfortable and there was lots of space for our family. We appreciated the paddle boards and kayaks even if the weather didn't quite cooperate with us towards the end of our stay. I can highly recommend Duane's place. Thanks for having us!

Beachfront Sunset Bach
We loved staying here! The lovely space upstairs with the beautiful view meant we could enjoy meals with our teenagers and then they were based in the downstairs area and could sit around the fire and wander off to the beach. The decor was fun, the amenities were great and we could take the dog. We had a fantastic weekend!

Cliff top family home
Beautiful spot to relax and unwind - the view is even better than in the photos and the spa pool at night and early morning is breathtaking, the space was clean and comfortable and Michael was always available to help with any questions. :)

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!

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.

Beaumont Residence - Auckland Waterfront Serenity
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.

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

Absolute Beachfront Paradise! Milford, North Shore
Pia’s place is incredible! Had a wonderful 10 days there. We really enjoyed the location on the beach, all the amenities in the hime and the beautiful sunrise views from the wall of windows. One of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed. Pia was amazing to work with - very responsive and attentive. Could not have asked for a better stay in New Zealand!
