Fall in love with Auckland 'the city of sails!' We're near downtown Auckland and the gorgeous cafe soaked 'Viaduct Harbour'. Our tastefully decorated home is light, airy and fresh with unimpeded amazing views of the harbour - it's sensational!
Please note that due to a change in NZ law, our house has had to be re-listed on VRBO in 2024, as a new listing. Our previous listing had received 124 excellent reviews! We know you'll love your stay here!

Our house is a traditional bungalow. We have tastefully renovated it and split it into two completely separate units. This unit faces the sea, and all day sun floods into the living area through the french doors, that lead onto our deck. The deck faces the sea and we spend countless hours sitting on the deck watching the yachts in the harbour racing, or having a BBQ with friends in the evening and looking at the lights of the harbour bridge, the boats and the city.
There is a lawn area in front of the deck, and free car parking is available in our driveway (not common in this area).A great suburb to walk around Freemans Bay, Ponsonby, and St Marys Bay. You can walk along the boardwalk by the Westhaven Marina and stroll to the cafes underneath the Harbour Bridge or over to the amazing Viaduct Harbour, with all its cafes and restaurants.

We're about a 15 minute walk down to the local supermarket at Freemans Bay. It has everything you need from wine to fruit and vege and everything in between for your self-catering stay.
