About this property

Skyline Retreat in the Heart of Auckland

Summary:
This apartment is perfectly situated to explore Auckland. You'll be within walking distance to some of the city's most popular attractions, including the Sky Tower, Britomart, and the Auckland Art Gallery. The city's finest dining, shopping, and entertainment are all at your doorstep. Enjoy the city view from your private balcony!

Important - make sure to read through the Other Things to Note section below. We have a lot of useful information there that is essential to know for your stay.

The Space:
You'll find everything you need within this 1-bedroom 1-bathroom apartment. The kitchen is equipped with a stove, oven, fridge, microwave, dishwasher and a full-sized fridge as well as all the essential utensils to be able to cook your own meals. In the closet next to the kitchen is a washer and dryer which are free for your use.

The living room is spacious and has a smart TV. The sofa also fold out into a sofa bed which can sleep 2 people. There are pillows, a duvet and linens stored within the apartment for you to make up the sofa-bed if needed.

In the bedroom, you'll find a comfy queen bed, plenty of closet space for your belongings and a built-in desk with a chair. Perfect for those needing to do some work during their stay. The balcony is also accessed through the bedroom.

We provide our guests with free unlimited WIFI, towels and bed linen, as well as a welcome pack of starter amenities, and we use a high quality cleaning company so the apartment will be perfect for your arrival.

We have all the amenities and facilities you will need to make your stay in Auckland as comfortable as possible:
- Free WiFi - Super fast and unlimited!
- Coffee, tea, sugar, salt & pepper
- Shampoo, body wash and conditioner
- Shared pool, gym and sauna

Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire apartment as well as the shared facilities on level 8.

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.

Parnell - Known for it's variety of dining options, boutiques and galleries. Also many cool bars to check out. Non Solo Pizza is highly recommended if you're after great food, cocktails and buzzing atmosphere (for a mature crowd). Load up on fresh fruit and veg and enjoy a variety of food stalls every weekend at 545 Parnell Road is La Cigale - French Farmer's Market! There are also footpaths and bike trails that lead across the parklands of Auckland Domain.

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)

Location, location, location! Close to everything. It was an easy check in process as the key pickup office was very close. Had lots of coffee shops and dinning options, was basically every cuisine in the world is available. It can be noisy at night friday and Saturday, but other nights were ok. Property is clean and well maintained, its fully equipped including comfy furniture and full kitchen and laundry facilities. The bedding and mattress was excellent as well with all different types of pillows. The temperature was well managed with the air conditioning. Bathroom was clean and had heated mirror and heated towel rack. Can’t fault anything and was perfect. Only one thing was that the shower was not sealed perfectly but with a dryer and heated towel rack, it didn’t feel annoying or anything. The communication with staff was good via email, they checked on us right after the check in. Very pleasant experience. It is an apartment with no staff, which makes it difficult to plan the trip as our flight was at annoying 4pm. But a late checkout was offered at 12pm with small fee and was manageable.
