Comfy one-bedroom apartment right on the iconic Princes Wharf — one of Auckland`s most coveted addresses. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with morning sun. Step outside and the Viaduct Harbour`s bars and restaurants, the Ferry Building, Commercial Bay, Britomart and the CBD are all within a five-minute walk. A wonderfully connected, light-filled city base in the heart of it all.
There are few addresses in Auckland more recognisable or more coveted than Princes Wharf — the elegant heritage finger wharf that juts into the Waitemata Harbour at the very heart of the city`s waterfront. To stay here is to stay at the centre of everything Auckland has to offer, and this beautifully light-filled one-bedroom apartment puts that experience within easy reach.
The apartment is thoughtfully laid out and immaculately presented. A secure entry brings you into a well-configured hallway — bathroom on the left, bedroom on the right — before opening up into a generous open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space that is the apartment`s real showstopper. Floor-to-ceiling windows run the length of the living area, capturing the morning sun and filling every corner with the kind of warm, bright light that makes a space feel effortlessly uplifting from the moment you wake up. The outlook takes in the city skyline, the animated wharf streetscape, and the maritime activity that gives Princes Wharf its distinctive energy.
The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering with everything you need — oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and all the cookware and utensils to make a proper meal. Quality linen is provided for the bedroom, and the lounge suite converts to a comfortable sofa bed for a third guest if needed — just let us know ahead of arrival and we`ll have it made up and ready.
Step outside from the living area and the balcony is your own private slice of one of the most vibrant waterfront addresses in New Zealand. Pull up a chair, pour a coffee, and watch the harbour come alive. There is genuinely nowhere better to start a morning in Auckland.
Princes Wharf is one of Auckland`s most storied addresses — a beautifully restored heritage finger wharf that stretches 220 metres into the Waitemata Harbour and has been transformed from its working port origins into a sophisticated mixed-use precinct of restaurants, bars, boutique hotel accommodation, and residential apartments. The wharf`s distinctive terracotta-tiled promenade, flanked by water on both sides, creates a uniquely maritime atmosphere that is unlike anywhere else in the city — calm and unhurried at dawn, and quietly buzzing with the energy of the Viaduct and waterfront by evening.
The building has secure access throughout, lift access to all floors, and is managed to a high standard. The wharf`s position means you have water views and harbour air on both sides — and at night, the reflections of the city lights across the harbour are genuinely spectacular.
The entire apartment is yours — bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, open-plan living area, and balcony. Check-in is via a secure lockbox located at the Luggage Hotel on Princes Wharf, which operates 24 hours a day — so whether you`re arriving mid-afternoon or late at night, access is always straightforward. Full check-in instructions, including the lockbox location and access codes, will be sent to you the day before your arrival.
While we will leave you in peace to enjoy your time in Auckland, we are available 24 hours a day for an emergency.
For those non-urgent like-to-haves, just give us a call or a quick message and we will do everything we can to make this your most memorable trip to Auckland yet.
Walk off the wharf and you are immediately in the Viaduct Harbour — Auckland`s premier waterfront dining and entertainment precinct, lined with restaurants, bars, and the constant gentle movement of yachts and superyachts on the water. Baduzzi, Parasol & Swing, Katsubi, and dozens more options are within a five-minute walk, and the atmosphere on a warm Auckland evening is hard to beat anywhere in New Zealand. Directly across the road, Commercial Bay — Auckland`s flagship retail and dining development — brings together the best of New Zealand`s restaurant scene under one beautifully designed roof, with everything from quick casual bites to refined multi-course dining across its multiple levels. The Ferry Building and Auckland Ferry Terminal are five minutes on foot, with regular services to Waiheke Island, Devonport, and the Hauraki Gulf. Britomart Transport Centre is a short stroll away, connecting you to trains across the Auckland network.
Wynyard Quarter and its celebrated North Wharf dining precinct — home to Baduzzi, Hello Beasty, and Silo Park — are a 10-minute waterfront walk west. The Sky Tower, Queen Street, and the Aotea Centre are equally close in the other direction. For those who prefer two wheels, the Auckland Harbour Bridge cycleway and the city`s expanding waterfront greenway are easily accessed from the wharf.
