beautiful comfortable apartment thankyou so much

Absolute Waterfront Oriental Bay
Dayne's place was a great location, quiet, comfortable and warm, with everything we needed for a couple of days in the city. Wonderful communication too! Would recommend.

Oceanfront- Stunning views!
Absolutely loved our stay, fabulous view and the apartment had everything we needed. One tiny suggestion would be a couple of reading lights by the bed. We had a great time exploring the area over our 3 day stay. Thank you George and family

Entire Apartment - Stunning City Pad
Really enjoyed staying here! The place was super clean and spacious and within walking distance to a lot of nice restaurants and town area! It was pretty private despite being so close to a lot of restaurants and nice coffee places. Although it was a bit difficult to find the keys and get access to the car park at first, Simon gave ample instructions to check into the apartment. Will stay here again when I come back to Auckland!

#Beachy Retreat Central Beachfront Apartment#
Julianne’s property is perfectly situated to walk to the CBD and to make the most of the waterfront walkway. The garage is an added bonus. A comfortable space with beautiful views out to the coast. Great for watching the sunrise.

Te Moana Waterfront - beachside accommodation
What a relaxing and peaceful few days break at this beautiful accomodation. Waking up to the sounds of the waves, sitting on the balcony and enjoying the view we couldn’t have had a more enjoyable stay. You won’t find many places like this in the world and we look forward to coming back sometime soon.

453 By The Sea - Marine Parade Stylish Apartment
Lynne was very easy to communicate with, nothing was a bother even when we changed the dates of our booking, clear instructions, property just like the pictures, would recommend.

Princes Wharf's truly stunning North-West Loft
My family (consisting of husband and two teenagers) had an outstanding time at Peter’s apartment. It was our first time visiting New Zealand and Peter was extremely helpful and an informative guide in addition to host. He gave us many suggestions and responded very quickly when we had a question. The apartment was exactly as advertised, gorgeous! There are stunning views from the living room. We could have watched the views for hours, both day and night. Additionally, it was well situated, with many great restaurants and activities within an easy walk. The apartment itself was extremely clean and well stocked. The kitchen shared the same lovely views as the living room. The beds were extremely comfortable and bathrooms were great. We would happily stay there again and recommend it to anyone visiting Auckland.

Waterfront condo accommodation

OTEHEI Luxury Apartment - Bay of Islands Marina
The most serene beautiful location. Felt like a million miles from anywhere but best brekkie and coffee just steps from the door and a general store a couple of minutes away with everything you could need. Bed to die for, luxury linens and towels. Possibly the cleanest place EVER. thank you gavin, a perfect stay in a beautiful location.

Harbour Palms Apartmentt
Fabulous hosts, lovely accommodation. We stayed for three nights, and all loved it including our puppy. If we didn't have to be back home for things, we would've extended our stay by a couple more nights. I'm sure we will be back again though. Thanks for the lovely stay

Lakehouse Escape
We had an amazing four night stay here. The apartment was excellently furnished, the location effectively on the lakefront was fantastic and the outlook across the lake to Mount Tarawera was beautiful. We could not have wished for more. Thank you Murray for being such a great host

Oriental Bay: stunning views from a private condo
This was an amazing place to stay. The apartment is beautiful clean and exceeded my expectations in every way. The views, the comfy beds, the beautiful linen and Craig was so helpful. I will definitely go back. By far the best Place I have stayed. Thank you ☺️

5 Star Beachfront Living.
We really enjoyed our stay at Irene’s. It was great to be so close to the beach and there were lots of shops and cafes within walking distance. It’s a scenic 20 minute drive to Snow Planet is that is part of your holiday plans. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed to make our stay a pleasure. Irene was so friendly, helpful and caring. We would definitely stay again.

Absolute Beachfront Paradise! Milford, North Shore
Pia’s place is incredible! Had a wonderful 10 days there. We really enjoyed the location on the beach, all the amenities in the hime and the beautiful sunrise views from the wall of windows. One of the most beautiful places I’ve stayed. Pia was amazing to work with - very responsive and attentive. Could not have asked for a better stay in New Zealand!
