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.

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.
