About this property
Hidden City Townhouse - short walk to Harbour
Quiet and sunny central townhouse with Garage and 2 car spaces. FAST WIFI. SMART TV. AIR CON on first floor. Fans and Heaters in house. Set in a quiet, no-through road behind Victoria Park, close to the fabulous "Wynyard Quarter", this newly decorated and fitted-out house on 3 floors is in a great location for tourists and business people alike. Approached through a high gate for privacy which can be locked - you enter your own private sunny garden, here you can smoke.
On the ground floor, you have a garage and one queen bedroom with adjacent shower room. On the first floor, you have a lovely spacious sitting/dining/kitchen opening onto a terrace with outdoor table and chairs and a barbq.
On the top (second) floor, you have two spacious bedrooms, one with queen bed with its own private terrace and a twin bedded room which can be zipped together to form a king bed. This floor has a spacious shower room between the two bedrooms.
In a 7-8 minute walk, you can be at Wynyard Quarter and the Convention Centre or visit most of the CBD and downtown restaurants, bars and Queen Street shops. The house is set over three floors, with either a terrace or a balcony on each floor. There are two car parks available PLUS a Garage. But you don't need a car here with buses and trains close by; you can walk, Uber or - scooter everywhere which is great fun!
If you are a couple and 2 kids, you may book for 3 if planning to use only the two upstairs bedrooms. But if you are 3 adults and each want a separate bedroom, PLEASE BOOK FOR 4 as the first 2 adults are expected to be in one room. There is a small additional charge of $35 per person after 3 people.
NB: If you have a long haul flight - please consider booking for the extra day so you can relax in the house after an early arrival or late departure. We are often fully booked so can not change the check in time of 2 p.m. and check out time of 11 a.m. We try to accommodate luggage to be dropped off early or left after these times so long as new guests are not inconvenienced.
A welcome snack and fruit platter for your first Breakfast are provided on arrival. We provide a 'running pantry' with many oils, sauces, herbs where guests can use and replace what they use up or add to the larder. Supermarket is 5 mins walk away. You can walk to the Wynyard Quarter harbour front and Fish Market in about 7 minutes and from there to the main Marina and central harbour restaurants and bars in another 5-10 minutes.
Please ask for any other advice or information you may need. Host can do a small shop for you if you will be arriving late. There is a Nespresso machine but please bring your favourite pods. We provide plunger coffee for your first day or two and a variety of teas.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this property! Great location for getting about Auckland. Paula was a fantastic host from check in to making sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.
Great location for us to explore Auckland as a family, plus space for everyone. Communication was great with the host and she went above and beyond to make sure we were fed and entertained upon arrival.
We had a lovely time in Auckland and the townhouse was everything that was described ! Owners were lovely and very accommodating and communicated well.
Great spot, lovely home and we enjoyed our stay !
The townhouse was located right in the city and was a perfect location. Property was well kept and very nice. Paula was excellent and answered any questions that I had.
Highly recommend this place. If I ever come back I would stay here again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The property was very tidy and located in a great spot near the waterfront. Off street parking was very helpful.
The apartment was great for our stay in Auckland for a wedding. Very well equipped, clean and comfortable. Great to have parking for our rental car. Highly recommended.
Location was fantastic with easy access to sights, buses, and grocery store. Apartment was clean and up to date with plenty of room for our group of 5 adults. Paula was great to communicate with. The kitchen was well equipped and we appreciated the guidebooks.
Our family had a great stay at the townhouse. It was clean, warm, and very comfortable. The location was great. You could walk to many sights, restaurants, stores and the ferries. I would highly recommend staying here.
A very quaint, secluded location. Just a few blocks from the pier and downtown. We were there over New Year’s Eve and enjoyed the fireworks from the park (a block away). Our host was available if I had questions and everything was self-explanatory on how to use the self-explanatory on Thoroughly enjoyed our time!
It was just perfect, very comfortable house we felt at home. Very easy to communicate with the host. Nothing is missing. We really enjoyed our stay ….parking facility a big plus….
We loved our stay at this property for 5 days. Easy walk to the wharf, lots of restaurants to pick from. We ate in a few nights too and the kitchen was well stocked to make that easy. Washer/Dryer was nice to have to clean cloths before our next adventure began.We would definitely book here again if we find our way back in NZ.Great host and easy to communicate with her.Thanks,Rose Hankinson
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The townhome was very modern and clean. We were a short walk from both the Sky Tower and Viaduct Harbour. There was also easily accessible public transportation nearby. Our host was very communicative and even left us a fruit and charcuterie platter for our arrival!
Clean well equipped property in a brilliant location, could not be more central or convenient. Property owners were extremely helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Would 100% recommend it.
Spacious accommodation and well stocked ( had ground coffee and pods for brewing prior to exploring Auckland. A def plus as other accommodations had instant or none!) hospitable with both a fruit and savory platter available upon our arrival. Responsive to our questions. Wonderful experience!
Nice 3 bedroom townhouse conveniently located near the Central Business District. Just a walk or bus ride away from attractions, restaurants, shopping and a nice park. Fairly quiet neighborhood. AC in main living area, but not the bedrooms. Nice balcony and patio areas.
Easy to walk down to all the restaurants on Auckland's waterfront, and into the CBD. Comfortable and quiet. Kitchen/lounge is on the 2nd floor, bedrooms/baths on 1st and 3rd, so this townhouse is not appropriate for anyone with ambulatory issues or toddlers. But it was perfect for my husband and I. Great little kitchen and nice to have deck space and lots of room. Would definitely stay here again.
Has a clean, brand new feeling - a classy townhouse in a very quiet side street 5 minutes from Sky City. Had all the facilities we needed, and a great host who was communicative and switched on about getting us in safely. Super facilities for anyone wanting a city break - and it even has a garage if you need it - gold in Auckland! And it has a deck and outdoor courtyard. Highly recommend.
Lovely apartment, perfect for the four of us to have a short break away from work and school. Place was super clean and tidy which makes a nice change - matched the photos on line perfectly! Property Manager left us a nice surprise of a couple of platters in the fridge. Kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with essentials which was unexpected but nice. Perfect location to explore Auckland City's CBD and Viaduct. Thanks for a relaxing stay.
We stayed for 6 days. We had a little trouble getting used to the switches on the wall and what is connected to them but it all worked out after we figured out how to use them. The house was fully supplied with anything and everything you could ever want to use,
