Million Dollar View!

Fall in love with Auckland 'the city of sails!' We're near downtown Auckland and the gorgeous cafe soaked 'Viaduct Harbour'. Our tastefully decorated home is light, airy and fresh with unimpeded amazing views of the harbour - it's sensational!
Please note that due to a change in NZ law, our house has had to be re-listed on VRBO in 2024, as a new listing. Our previous listing had received 124 excellent reviews! We know you'll love your stay here!

Our house is a traditional bungalow. We have tastefully renovated it and split it into two completely separate units. This unit faces the sea, and all day sun floods into the living area through the french doors, that lead onto our deck. The deck faces the sea and we spend countless hours sitting on the deck watching the yachts in the harbour racing, or having a BBQ with friends in the evening and looking at the lights of the harbour bridge, the boats and the city.
There is a lawn area in front of the deck, and free car parking is available in our driveway (not common in this area).A great suburb to walk around Freemans Bay, Ponsonby, and St Marys Bay. You can walk along the boardwalk by the Westhaven Marina and stroll to the cafes underneath the Harbour Bridge or over to the amazing Viaduct Harbour, with all its cafes and restaurants.

We're about a 15 minute walk down to the local supermarket at Freemans Bay. It has everything you need from wine to fruit and vege and everything in between for your self-catering stay.

✦Things To Do✦

Visit the Auckland Art Gallery to see a full survey of Maori, Pacific, and Europan Art from pre-contact until the 21st century. There are paintings, sculptures, and multi-media art. This venue is also child friendly with an interactive children's area.

Go up the Sky Tower to get the best panoramic views of Auckland and the Hauraki Gulf. Go on a clear fine day to get the best of your admission. You can also go to the Revolving Restaurant for a meal or coffee. Check the website for details.

Visit the Auckland Museum to see the history of the flora, fauna, and culture of Aotearoa/New Zealand. See the finest collection of Maori Artifacts and textiles. There is a great interactive kids section and a newly installed T-Rex to visit! Enjoy the Auckland Domain and Winter Gardens outside.

Take a cruise on the harbour, or take a ferry to one of the Gulf Islands like Waiheke Island or Rangitoto Island. You can take the ferry from the Princess Wharf ferry terminal to most parts of Auckland. Try the day trip to Titirtiri Martangi Island to see the best display of endangered native birds.

Construction work next door to the property was extremely noisy. This construction work has been on going for serval months. The owners had plenty of time to contact me, which I would have appreciated prior to our stay, or offered a reduced rate. We found sitting on the balcony wasn’t possible for breakfast, afternoon sun, or early evening meals the work continued until 6pm on Thursday. That was the only downside to this accommodation. It was clean, tidy bed was comfortable. Location was great for us. Easy walk to marina and viaduct area

Fantastic views and central location

Can't beat this location - downtown CBD and lively Ponsonby both within few mins drive, or a nice walk. Despite that, the neighborhood is quiet and has an upscale, secure feel to it. The apartment itself was great, just the right size for the 2 of us. Views over the Auckland harbour are incredible, and makes you enjoy cooking in the well-stocked kitchen. Hosts were communicative and accommodating - would definitely stay here again if we visit Auckland.

Very well equipped property with a super helpful host. We were in the Kawau Suite on the lower level which still had a great view. Quality dishes, cutlery, glassware, pots and pans and a full size refrigerator/freezer. Good wifi/internet We were just two people in a 2 bedroom suite. There is no dining room table and chairs inside, but counter seating and good seating outside

We loved this little house

We enjoyed this home away from home in Auckland. The view from the deck is just as advertised! A great spot for relaxing after a day in the city. We used Uber quite a bit. We could have walked to downtown, but then we would have had little energy left, so we relied on Uber when going downtown. Uber has excellent service in Auckland. Well equipped small kitchen. Small but comfortable living area. The house is in a very residential area but an easy walk to Ponsonby. We recommend this home heartily.

Perfect hideaway!

Wonderful little bungalow! The view is astounding! The area is really nice, although it is really hilly so not super walkable for us older out of shape people :-) No worried though, Ubers were easy to get and there was much to be explored! The owners generously left us some tastes of NZ and the kitchen had all the seasonings and kitchen stuff you might need It seemed! We didn’t not cook though, but enjoyed Uber eats while watching a movie in their comfortable living room! The bed was really comfortable for me and the linens were luxurious. We fell in love with Ruby the kitty! I enjoyed sitting out in the patio watching the bridge lights and birds fly around! So lovely.. we would absolutely stay again! Thank you!!

Lovely place

Great place to stay if you like cats and don't mind the fastidious need to care for the wooden kitchen surfaces. The presence of the cat and the attitude that it could be left outside was strange in a country that has lost so much fauna due to ferral predation. The view is magnificent which is wonderfully relaxing in any weather. Storage space for clothes and suitcases is rather constrained. Would stay at this location again despite the minor issues of cat fur, caring for the cat and space constraints.

Beautiful sunrises and a cuddly cat companion

This worked really well for us as a base for exploring Auckland and attending pieces of the Women's World Cup (about a 10 minute walk to a bus stop, route goes right by Eden Park). We also appreciated the laundry facilities, kitchen facilities, and provided basic breakfast fixings. The one thing I wish I had better understood going in is that the sleeping area is physically and visually separated from the "lounge" and eating areas, but there is no bedroom door, so earplugs are really important if two occupants are on different sleep schedules.

Wonderful view, Easy check in/out, Cute & Comfy stay

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. The unit was clean and appropriately appointed. Ruby the cat was friendly and so cute. The view was great during the day, but even better at night with the lights in the harbor and on the bridge. It was close enough to walk to restaurants both downtown and to the closer eclectic shopping area to the south.

Fantastic accommodation

My husband and I stayed here for five nights when we first arrived in New Zealand. The house was clean and comfortable, very well-stocked and beautifully decorated. The million dollar view that is advertised is actually priceless. After touring the city, we enjoyed relaxing on the deck and watching the harbour activity. At night we were treated to a light show on the bridge. This is in a beautiful neighbourhood and just a pleasant 25 minute walk to the CBD. We will be returning to Auckland for our last three days before we fly home. We are so looking forward to staying here again.

Beautiful view in a great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Property was exactly as in the photos, clean, comfortable and with all the little extras (like pantry and kitchen items) that made our stay much easier. View was of course amazing and we spent our evenings enjoying dinner overlooking the water. The location was also very close to Ponsonby so easy to walk to groceries, restaurants and shops. Finally, Jenni and Cliff were wonderful to communicate with and answered any questions we had promptly. Overall would highly recommend and would love to stay again one day!
