About this property
Top-Floor Views in the Heart of Auckland
A generously proportioned two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment on the top floor of Madison on the Square — one of Auckland CBD`s most central addresses, steps from the Sky Tower, Federal Street`s celebrated dining precinct, Aotea Square, and the waterfront. Extra spacious layout guests consistently highlight. In-unit laundry. Key safe check-in. Please note: the lift serves most floors, but the final flight to the top floor is by stairs. The Viaduct and Commercial Bay are a comfortable walk away.
One important thing before anything else: the lift in Madison on the Square serves the building to one floor below the apartment, and the final flight to the top floor is via stairs. This is a single flight, well-maintained and straightforward, but guests with mobility requirements or a preference for full lift access should be aware of this before booking — we are happy to suggest alternatives from our portfolio if needed. For guests who are comfortable with a single flight of stairs, what awaits at the top is one of the most generously proportioned two-bedroom apartments in the CBD.
Guests consistently call out the space as this apartment`s standout quality — and they`re right. The open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area is genuinely large for a central CBD apartment, with a layout that gives you room to breathe and settle in properly rather than feeling like you`re navigating around the furniture. The top-floor position brings in good natural light and a city outlook that makes the living area feel elevated and removed from the street-level energy below, even in the middle of the CBD.
The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering — modern appliances, proper cookware, and everything you need for a quick breakfast before heading out or a relaxed dinner in after a long day. Both bedrooms are comfortably appointed with quality linen and proper storage. Both bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. In-unit washer and dryer add practical self-sufficiency for longer stays or guests who prefer to travel light. High-speed WiFi, a Smart TV, and air conditioning complete a well-rounded package that works equally well for a weekend escape or an extended work trip.
Madison on the Square sits on Federal Street in the very heart of Auckland`s CBD — one of the city`s most celebrated dining streets and the building that gives the apartment its superb walkability. The building is secure with key safe access, and its top-floor position gives this apartment a degree of quiet and remove from street level that many CBD apartments can`t achieve. The building is well-maintained with secure access throughout.
The entire apartment is yours — both bedrooms, both bathrooms, the kitchen, open-plan living and dining area, and in-unit laundry. The building has secure key safe access. Please note: the lift serves the building to one floor below the apartment — the final flight to the top floor is by stairs. Full check-in instructions will be sent the day before your arrival.
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Access is via key safe — full instructions and codes will be sent the day before your arrival. The key safe is straightforward and accessible at any hour. Early check-in can often be accommodated subject to availability — please enquire at booking.
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.
The building`s Federal Street address is one of the great advantages of this apartment. Federal Street is Auckland`s most concentrated fine-dining corridor — and it is right outside the door. Michelin-recognised restaurants, acclaimed chef-driven eateries, and some of the city`s most talked-about dining experiences are all within a minute or two on foot. The Sky Tower`s observation decks and SkyCity complex are equally close for guests who want to take in Auckland from above.
Aotea Square and the Civic Theatre are a short walk, anchoring Auckland`s arts and events precinct. Queen Street`s shopping, galleries, and cafés run downhill from here towards the waterfront. The Viaduct Harbour`s celebrated restaurant and bar strip, Commercial Bay`s flagship retail and dining complex, and Britomart`s cobblestoned laneways are all within comfortable walking distance — the walkability highlight from guests is well-earned. Britomart Transport Centre connects the full Auckland train network. The Auckland Ferry Terminal is nearby for Waiheke Island and Hauraki Gulf services.
For guests wanting to explore beyond the immediate CBD, the motorway network is accessible and Auckland`s inner suburbs — Ponsonby, Parnell, Mount Eden — are a short drive or Uber away. Karangahape Road`s creative dining and bar scene is an easy walk uphill. The apartment`s central position means almost every Auckland experience is within reach without a car.
Auckland is easily walkable from Madison on the Square — the walkability highlight from guests reflects the apartment`s genuinely exceptional position. Britomart Transport Centre is a short walk with full train network connections. The Auckland Ferry Terminal is nearby for Waiheke Island and harbour services. The Inner Link and Outer Link buses connect the central suburbs frequently. Uber and taxis are available throughout the CBD at all hours. Auckland Airport is approximately 30 to 40 minutes by car.
A complimentary starter pack is provided on arrival — a small selection of tea, coffee, milk, and bathroom essentials to get you settled comfortably from the moment you arrive. Supermarkets and convenience stores are nearby for any additional supplies you need during your stay.
Weekly and monthly discount rates are available and apply automatically to longer stays. A private airport transfer can be arranged at additional cost — please get in touch at least 48 hours before your arrival and we will organise it for you.
To ensure a smooth arrival, we ask all guests to complete a short online pre-check-in form and upload a valid government-issued photo ID before arriving — this takes just a couple of minutes.
This is a non-smoking, no-vaping property throughout — including balconies and all common areas. No parties or events. Quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. Check-in is from 3:00 PM and checkout is by 10:00 AM.
Please note: the lift in Madison on the Square serves the building to one floor below the apartment. The final flight to the top floor is via one flight of stairs — well-maintained and straightforward, but worth knowing before you arrive, particularly if you are travelling with heavy luggage or have mobility requirements. We kindly ask all guests to help us maintain the peaceful, high-standard environment of this home by following a few simple rules:
A valid photo ID, email address, and phone number are required prior to check-in.
Please respect our no-party policy and observe quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM.
Smoking, vaping, or drug use is not permitted inside the suite or anywhere in the apartment, building, complex or balcony.
In the rare case of a noise complaint or evidence of smoking, an additional fee of up to NZD $500 may apply.
Check in available after 3pm through lock box key collection. Lock boxes are located a short distance away, full details will be sent prior to arrival. We advise collecting the keys on your way to the apartment, if coming to the city via taxi or UBER, ask the taxi to wait a second while you collect the key. The walk to the apartment from the lock box is not far, but no one wants to walk in the city with suitcases!
These measures ensure that every guest enjoys a serene, premium experience — thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
