Shared Facilities Disclaimer:

Please note that access to shared building amenities (gym, pool, sauna) is managed by the building’s management. Availability may change due to maintenance or operational reasons, sometimes without prior notice to hosts. While we hope you can enjoy these facilities, we cannot guarantee access at all times.



Please note that a refundable security deposit (authorised and held by your card provider, not charged to us) is required as part of the booking process.



Potential Noise: The building’s Pool Lift is undergoing modernisation from 3 August 2026 until approximately December 2026. During this time, guests can still access the outdoor pool via the Hotel Lobby Lift to Level 4, then follow the signage to the pool area. Construction noise may be heard during business hours while the works are underway. After this, the Service Lift upgrade is expected to continue into the first quarter of 2027.



Pool Hours Update

Please note that, for the safety and security of all residents and guests, the pool will now close at 10:00 PM each day, instead of the previous closing time of 11:00 PM.

The pool will continue to open at 6:00 AM daily for both wings, so guests can still enjoy an early morning swim.



Guest Access:

Guests have access to the whole apartment as well as the building's facilities (indoor lap pool, rooftop pool, 2 gyms , and tennis court).



The Neighborhood:

Everything you need is within walking distance from the apartment! Here are some suggestions for things to see and do on your visit to Auckland:



The Viaduct - the best bars and restaurants in the city! The New Zealand Maritime Museum is here, as well as Silo Park where you can watch outdoor films for free in the evening. You can also catch ferries from here to the amazing islands in the Hauraki Gulf like Waiheke, Tiritiri Matangi, and Rangitoto, as well as go on a whale and dolphin safari.



Federal Street - next to the Sky Tower (you can't miss it!) There are a lot of really nice bars and restaurants and cafes in this street, as well as the Sky City Casino and of course the Sky Tower. Dine at the top of tower at restaurant with the best views in Auckland, and jump off the Sky Walk to get down



Aotea Square - Auckland's cultural centre. Surrounding the square you'll find the Town Hall, Aotea Centre, Event cinemas, and two theatres (The Civic and the Q). The square itself is a nice place to people watch and sip some coffee. An ice-rink is the main attraction here during winter.



Albert Park, Art Gallery and the Museum - Albert Park is a lovely place where you can chill and read, and the Auckland art gallery is next door on Wellesley Street. If you keep walking up Wellesley Street, past Auckland University, and across Grafton Road, you will eventually find Auckland Domain which is the biggest park in Auckland and has the Auckland War Memorial Museum, as well as an amazing botanical garden.



Karangahape Road (a.k.a 'K' Road) - If you head up the hill on Queen Street, you'll eventually reach K Road, where you'll find Auckland's alternative night scene. Many great bars, live music, shisha cafes, and cheap takeaways are what K Road is known for.



Ponsonby – If you head West of the CBD, you will find the Ponsonby area. There is old colonial-style architecture there, many great stores for shopping, restaurants, bars, and cafes. Some of the best restaurants in Auckland are here, especially great for fine dining as this is an up-market area of Auckland.



Apart from these mini adventures, Queen Street (main street the city) is filled with shops, bars, cafes, restaurants, live music venues, and more! Make sure you explore High Street as well, which lies just parallel to Queen Street. That whole area is very nice to walk, relax, or dine out in, and tends to be a bit cheaper than Queen Street if you want to do some shopping.



If you want to explore further Auckland then you can take a walk towards the Viaduct from the apartment. There you will find Britomart station. (Bus and train)



Getting Around:

There is the SkyBus to and from the Airport, or via taxi. For trains, busses, and ferries: Britomart bus and train station/Wynyard Wharf Ferry Terminal and Downtown Pier 4. You can also use the Lime Scooters to get around the city, as well as Uber (or Zoomy – NZ’s version of Uber).
