Stunning two-bedroom apartment in the award-winning Stratis at Lighter Quay — one of Auckland`s most prestigious waterfront addresses. Private marina views, glass-enclosed balcony, pool, spa and gym on-site. Two queen bedrooms, two bathrooms and secure car parks. The Viaduct, Wynyard Quarter and CBD are steps away. Seriously, waterfront living at its absolute finest.
There are waterfront apartments, and then there is Stratis at Lighter Quay. Designed by Andrew Patterson Architects as part of one of Auckland`s most celebrated waterfront masterplans, Stratis sits on the edge of a private navigable marina in the heart of the Viaduct Basin — and waking up here, looking out across the water with yachts moored alongside and the harbour stretching to the horizon, is genuinely one of Auckland`s great experiences.
The apartment itself is beautifully presented throughout — a generous two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout with an open-plan living and dining area that flows to the signature Stratis feature: a glass-enclosed balcony that wraps around the apartment`s edge, drawing in the northeast views across the marina to the cityscape and harbour beyond. By day it`s a sun-soaked reading spot; by evening, with the city lights reflecting off the water, it`s something altogether more special. The balcony glass panels open fully so you can let the harbour air in whenever you choose.
Both bedrooms are well-appointed — a queen bed in each bedroom — each with quality linen and generous wardrobe space. The master bedroom has its own ensuite, while a well-appointed main bathroom serves the second bedroom. The kitchen is fully equipped with oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer, and an in-unit washer and dryer are tucked away for complete self-sufficiency on longer stays. A Nespresso machine is ready for your morning coffee, and all the basics are stocked to get you settled on arrival.
A secure car park is also allocated to this apartment — a genuinely rare inclusion at this address and one that makes arriving with luggage or exploring the wider Auckland region completely effortless.
Stratis is the jewel of the Lighter Quay development — an architecturally acclaimed waterfront precinct that won the NZIA New Zealand Architecture Award for Multiple Housing and the Property Council Award of Excellence. The building`s design features the signature enclosed glass balconies that give every apartment an indoor-outdoor space unlike anything else in Auckland, along with high-spec interiors and the kind of build quality that was crafted to last.
As a guest you`ll have full access to Lighter Quay`s exceptional private health and fitness club — a heated swimming pool positioned at water level so you`re essentially swimming alongside the marina, a sauna, a spa pool, and a well-equipped gymnasium. These facilities are reserved for Lighter Quay residents and guests only, which means you`ll never feel like you`re fighting for a lane or a lounge chair.
Step out of the building and you are at the very heart of Auckland`s most vibrant waterfront precinct. The Viaduct Harbour — lined with some of Auckland`s best-loved restaurants and bars — is a two-minute walk, while the Wynyard Quarter`s celebrated dining scene, including Baduzzi, Hello Beasty, Giraffe, and the North Wharf dining precinct, is equally close. The Auckland Fish Market and the weekend Silo Park market are both nearby, as is the ASB Waterfront Theatre for evening performances.
The CBD is a genuine 10-minute walk along the waterfront, and the Auckland Ferry Terminal — with connections to Waiheke Island, Devonport, and the Hauraki Gulf — is easily reached on foot. Britomart Transport Centre is under 15 minutes` walk, connecting you to trains across the city network. For those driving, the motorway network is immediately accessible and Auckland Airport is a straightforward 30-minute drive.
Countdown Metro supermarket is directly across the road — one of the most convenient grocery options in the city for self-catering guests — and the Lighter Quay cul-de-sac itself is beautifully quiet, giving the whole stay a calm, residential quality that`s rare for an address this central.
Auckland is easily explored from here. The city`s Inner Link and Outer Link buses connect the central suburbs frequently throughout the day, and Britomart Transport Centre — Auckland`s main transport hub — puts the train network within easy reach. Uber and taxis are readily available across the city at any hour. If you have a car, a secure park is included with the apartment and the motorway network is close by for day trips to Waiheke Island ferry, the Coromandel, Northland, or anywhere further afield. Auckland Airport is approximately 30–40 minutes by car depending on traffic, with shuttle and rideshare options available around the clock. We kindly ask all guests to help us maintain the peaceful, high-standard environment of this home by following a few simple rules:
A valid photo ID, email address, and phone number are required prior to check-in.

Check in available after 3pm through lock box key collection. Lock boxes are located a short distance away, full details will be sent prior to arrival. We advise collecting the keys on your way to the apartment, if coming to the city via taxi or UBER, ask the taxi to wait a second while you collect the key. The walk to the apartment from the lock box is not far (a couple of hundred meters at most), but no one wants to walk in the city with suitcases!
