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.

Great spot! Marina | Beach | Shops | Cafe's | WiFi
Fantastic house and location, beautiful views and had everything we needed. Thanks Sharon!

City Penthouse with Panoramic Ocean Views
What a spectacular place! Absolutely amazing top floor penthouse location. Everything in walking distance. Not sure how it could have been better. Loved the huge opening deck doors. Host was amazing too!

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*
Emma was a great host place was well appointed. Great location 👌🏽

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!

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 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
Beautiful home. Didn't realise how big and spacious the home was till we got there. Beautiful views. Would definitely recommend Lee's home. Thank you Lee 😊

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

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!

The Waterfront 361 West
Had a lovely stay at Kathy’s place. Beds were comfy, kitchen well stocked, and really enjoyed the view from the dining area. Kathy was very helpful and kind. Weather had us changing plans but hope to come back in the future!

Palms on Kennedy Point | Stay Waiheke
Amazing place to stay, especially when you ho with family having kids. They have all amenities you need. The area is quiet and peaceful, beautiful view looking out to the beach, beautiful. even when it's raining. I reckon I got good price for what it offers in this area. 2min drive from my ferry terminal so no worry about being late. Lovely and very responsive host.

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

5 Star Beachfront Living.
We really enjoyed our stay at Irene’s. It was great to be so close to the beach and there were lots of shops and cafes within walking distance. It’s a scenic 20 minute drive to Snow Planet is that is part of your holiday plans. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasure. Irene was so friendly, helpful and caring. We would definitely stay again.

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!

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!

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.

Beach Front Apartment - Dream Lifestyle
Such a lovely clean spacious condo in a beautiful location. Would love to stay again some time and this time make the most of the surrounding area
