Heritage Residence Four Bedrooms Four Bathrooms

Two interconnected heritage luxury suites occupying the full first floor of 45 Anzac Avenue — four bedrooms, four bathrooms, eight guests, and the complete signature specification throughout. The Anzac Retreat provides two bedrooms with natural light and a master ensuite. The Heritage Residence adds two bedrooms engineered for total darkness and silence, plus a fully accessible bathroom. Chopard amenities, Illy barista coffee, two Rega P1 turntables, personal welcome. Britomart two minutes away.

he first floor of 45 Anzac Avenue is occupied by two adjoining suites — The Anzac Retreat and The Sanctuary Suite — and when taken together, they form one of the most distinctive private residences available for short-stay in Auckland. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, the full heritage luxury specification doubled across both suites, and the flexibility of a floor plan that gives a group of eight both communal space and genuine private retreat within the same residence. It is the kind of accommodation that is simply not available elsewhere in the city.

The Anzac Retreat provides the front two bedrooms — both queen beds, the master with its own private ensuite, the second served by a beautifully appointed main bathroom, both with underfloor heating. Natural light moves through the front of the suite throughout the day, and the full kitchen, living, and dining area opens onto the ground-level streetscape of Anzac Avenue. The Rega P1 turntable, Marshall speaker, SMEG and Miele kitchen, Illy barista machine, and Chopard Swiss amenities are all present and identical to the specification found throughout the building.

The Sanctuary Suite provides the rear two bedrooms — both queen beds, with no exterior windows by design. This is not a limitation; it is the suite`s most defining quality. Total, architectural darkness and complete insulation from the sounds of the city give these two rooms a quality of stillness that the front bedrooms, however well-appointed, cannot replicate. For groups that include light sleepers, shift workers, or guests with mobility requirements, the Sanctuary Suite`s fully accessible bathroom — designed to genuinely inclusive standards without reducing the Chopard specification — is a meaningful and rare provision. The suite`s own Rega P1 turntable, SMEG and Miele kitchen, and Illy barista machine complete the specification.

Together, the two suites function as a single connected residence — four private bedrooms with their own bathrooms, two fully equipped kitchens and living areas for the group to spread across, and the whole of 45 Anzac Avenue`s eight-suite collection reduced to the intimate, exclusive experience of a private floor. Britomart is two minutes on foot. Personal welcome on arrival is included.

The building at 45 Anzac Avenue has stood at the heart of Auckland for over a century and has been transformed, with extraordinary sensitivity and an uncompromising standard of finish, into a collection of luxury suites unlike anything else in the city. The bones of the original structure — its proportions, its materiality, the quiet authority of genuine age — have been preserved and celebrated throughout, while every interior surface has been resolved to a standard that would be at home in the world`s finest boutique hotels.

The collection comprises eight suites in total — an intentionally intimate number that ensures genuine privacy and exclusivity for every guest. The building is not a hotel, and it does not operate like one. It is a privately managed collection of heritage residences, each appointed to the same exacting standard, each with its own character. The result is a form of city accommodation that is genuinely difficult to find: the amenity of a luxury hotel, the privacy of a private residence, and the atmosphere of a building that has earned its place in the city`s story.

The entire Level 1 floor is yours — all four bedrooms, all four bathrooms across both suites, two full kitchens, two living and dining areas, and all communal spaces. Both suites are fully interconnected. Access to each suite is via electronic key card or smartphone app. A member of our team will personally welcome the group on arrival and provide a full introduction to both suites.

Please note: The Sanctuary Suite bedrooms have no exterior windows — this is a deliberate and distinctive feature of those two rooms, which provides total darkness and silence for guests who want it. Full details are in the individual Sanctuary Suite listing. The fully accessible bathroom in the Sanctuary Suite is available to all guests in the combined residence.

While we will leave you in peace to enjoy your time in Auckland, we are available 24 hours a day for an emergency.

For those non-urgent like-to-haves, just give us a call or a quick message and we will do everything we can to make this your most memorable trip to Auckland yet.

BRITOMART — FIVE MINUTES FROM YOUR DOOR
Auckland`s most celebrated precinct

Step outside and within two minutes you are in Britomart — Auckland`s most revered and revitalised urban precinct, and one of the most compelling dining, shopping, and cultural destinations in the Southern Hemisphere. What began as a derelict cluster of Edwardian and Victorian heritage warehouses has been transformed over the past two decades into a cobblestoned, laneway-laced neighbourhood of extraordinary beauty and vitality — a place that feels simultaneously timeless and entirely of the moment.

The dining scene in Britomart is exceptional by any international standard. Amano — consistently celebrated as one of Auckland`s finest restaurants — anchors the precinct`s culinary reputation with its seasonal Italian-inspired menu and glittering atmosphere. Mr Morris brings a deeply personal and distinctly New Zealand voice to contemporary fine dining. Ortolana occupies a sun-filled conservatory in the Britomart Pavilions, serving beautifully considered bistro food in one of Auckland`s most romantic settings. Kingi at The Hotel Britomart is the city`s undisputed seafood destination. Xuxu, Perch, and a rotating cast of acclaimed smaller restaurants and bars complete a precinct where the quality of eating is consistently outstanding.

The boutique shopping in Britomart is equally distinguished — flagship stores from New Zealand`s most celebrated designers including Maggie Marilyn, Karen Walker, Zambesi, Kate Sylvester, and Deadly Ponies line the cobblestoned laneways alongside carefully curated independent boutiques. The Britomart Pavilions, with their foliage-draped black cladding and gallery-like interiors, offer a shopping experience that feels closer to a European fashion capital than a Pacific city.

By evening, Britomart transforms into one of Auckland`s most atmospheric neighbourhoods — twinkling lights strung between heritage buildings, beautifully designed bars and wine rooms humming with a quietly sophisticated energy. It is the best two-minute walk in Auckland, and it begins at your front door.
