About this property
Viaduct Harbour Waterside Apartment with Heat Pump
This apartment is located in the Lighter Quay and has an open plan kitchen & living area that overlooks the water, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a carpark with lift access to your door.
Here are 3 things people love about our Viaduct Harbour Waterside Apartment:
1 - The water. You have so many choices of how you enjoy the private waterway directly below the apartment. You can enjoy the water views from the kitchen while you cook or while you eat at the large dining table. Or you can sit back and relax on the deck directly off of the kitchen. Or walk down the steps and enjoy being directly on the water's edge.
2 - The location is simply outstanding. Lighter Quay is located in the Viaduct Harbour precinct at the base of Wynyard Quarter. It is little more than a stone's throw away from the hustle and the bustle of the city, but provides a quiet relaxed setting. We are isolated from the noise of the central city, however it's just a short 5 minute walk to most of Wynyard Quarter, less than 10 minutes walk to the Viaduct restaurants and less than 15 minutes walk to much of the CBD. This apartment within this fully gated, secure complex is the ideal base from which to explore Auckland and it's close to the many national and international corporate offices.
3 - The layout of this apartment, with two bathrooms and split-able beds, has been very popular with both families and colleagues travelling for work. Comfortable beds with quality linen guarantee a good night’s sleep.
Here are 3 things to consider before renting our Viaduct Harbour Waterside Apartment:
1 - The apartment is in a residential area and close-knit community, so no parties are permitted in the apartment at all times during your stay. This applies to all residents, so ensures you will have a peaceful and quiet stay yourself.
2 - Although private, the apartment is located in a central city neighbourhood, so you will be surrounded by buildings and other residents. That’s not a downside, since the neighbours are generally a very considerate group of people, but you will be aware of their presence on occasion. Most people actually love it, since you will have a chance to meet locals and quickly strike up a conversation. Live like a local amongst locals and you will love your stay.
3 - Living in a close-knit community requires some basic rules to make things easier. We ask that you abide by these rules and that you are a considerate neighbour. By all means, live and enjoy yourself, just be mindful of noise and loud music both inside and out and you’ll have a fabulous time.
-------------------------- ABOUT THIS HOME --------------------------
We have furnished this recently renovated apartment with new modern contemporary furniture.
KITCHEN
Our fully equipped kitchen includes chef-quality stainless steel gourmet cookware, and good quality knives. We provide a Nespresso machine with milk frother for coffee aficionados as well as a classic teapot so you can brew the perfect cup of tea.
LOUNGE
Sit back and relax in style on the comfortable sofas while watching Netflix on the 55" HD Smart TV. The wifi is connected to an unlimited high-speed VDSL internet connection.
BEDROOMS
Both bedrooms are roughly the same size and both feature super-king size beds. The master bedroom is slightly larger and boast a large ensuite. Both bedrooms have access to a private courtyard.
All beds come with comfortable duvets and high thread count sheets. The large closets are stocked with plenty of clothes hangers.
Both super king beds can be split into two long single beds (203cm long x 91cm wide), which can provide an option for good friends or children to share a room.
THE VIEW
The kitchen and lounge offer views of the internal waterway/marina. The small table and chairs on the balcony offer a great spot to enjoy your morning coffee.
GETTING AROUND
Most of Wynyard Quarter is less than 5 minutes walk from your front door, and the main Viaduct restaurant area is less than 10 minutes.
Our place is less than a 15 minutes walk or a $5-10 Uber ride to much of the central city, including Westhaven, Wynyard Quarter, Viaduct Harbour, Queen St, and Ponsonby. If you want to catch a bus, there are bus stops within 300m.
PARKING
Free secure parking for one car is provided in a single car park space located below the apartment building.
Bicycle racks inside a secure parking building are also available.
OPTIONAL EXTRAS
Regular cleaning. If you are staying for a few weeks, perhaps you would like to arrange regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning or a one-off additional clean. The cost is $251/visit for a clean and linen change, and $167/visit for a standard clean (no linen change). You can either arrange this in advance, or while you are staying.
Split bed (one off $25/bedroom). We can split the super king size bed in each bedroom into two long single beds. The standard configuration is 2 super kings, but you can choose to have 1 super king and 2 singles, or 4 single beds.
Portacot (additional $6/day). We can provide Jolly Jumper Roma 2-in-1 portacots that have both bassinet and cot level. This model has passed safety tests and is recommended by Consumer NZ. We'll also provide cot sheets and blankets.

Very clear and easy to book. On arrival we were meet by a very pleasant and helpful manager. Made us all feel very welcome.

November week in Auckland
Easy access to everything, especially if you like to walk. Our week was extremely quiet. Apt was airy and bright. Bed was really comfortable. The 2 of us had plenty of room.

We loved the location and all that was going on around it.
Location, location, location of this property alone is enough to justify a five star rating. It is located near the business district of Auckland and within a five minute walk of the bustling Harbor/Bay. The Harbor itself is home to dozens of fine restaurants as well as the main ferry terminal whose ferries can take you to a number of interesting and beautiful islands. If you choose to take overnight trips to North or South of Auckland, as we did, you'll find the main bus terminal with intercity service a short Uber ride away and if you prefer to rent a car,there are several agencies within walking distance.
We stayed in this unit for 30 days and found it as advertised, experiencing no issues during our stay. Brendan was extremely responsive, including allowing us early check in and late check out to accommodate our international flight schedule to the U.S.
We highly recommend this unit for anyone planning to stay in Auckland.

Perfect location!
The apartment is in a great location to explore Aucklands waterfront and experience the urban, metro feel of the city. Had to arrive late at night and Ulf made it easy and was very helpful. Appreciated the Nespresso coffee and the milk! The two bedroom (both with King size beds) and 2 bathrooms made it the perfect place for 2 couples to be comfortable.
Would stay here again for sure.
