Quiet and Fresh Private Space in Epsom
Perfect place to stay for our couple days in Auckland. Would recommend. Thank you

Daydreams
A beautiful home. Only wish weather had been better to sit in the beautiful garden.

Savour Stunning Gulf Views at a Boutique Hideaway
We stayed here for five nights to support some planned surgery at a nearby hospital and working remotely during the recovery period. The location was perfect for us and very close to the beach which is great for walks. The apartment is also close to Milford shopping centre which has everything you need for self-catering. Michaela was always very responsive and helpful with any requests and being able to park the car down the bottom of the driveway was really helpful. The apartment is peaceful and a great place to base yourself for a short or longer stay in Auckland.

Tranquility in Glenfield Auckland
Lovely quiet location, just what we were looking for. We arrived in the dark but we're met in the cul der sac by chance, and shown right to the studio. We were very grateful. Warm and cosy, super comfortable bed, fabulous shower / bathroom facilities. All we needed for our overnight stay. Thank you for having us!

Marina Magic at Milford
We had a lovely stay at Pam & Greg’s place. It is clear that a lot of thought has gone into making the place comfy & well equipped for an easy & enjoyable stay. Pam also supplied a portacot, high chair, baby bath, toys, books etc… for our 15month old, which we really appreciated and meant we could travel lighter. The location is excellent - close to Auckland city but away from the busyness and with a lovely marina outlook. Good amenities in Milford shops & Takapuna a short drive away. The apartment was super comfy & the outlook to Pam & Greg’s garden is stunning. 10/10 would recommend & stay again.

Self contained guest house - Garden of Eden
This was my second stay with at Kirk and Justines property.. Visiting family the location is great being located close but in a suburb that is very homely. Easy street parking and only a stroll to local restaurants and bus stops. The property is very clean tidy and feels like a home away from home. We look forward to returning again 😊

Parkside Garden Studio
Colleen’s place is such a lovely place to stay, I especially loved the views out over the park. Everything inside was carefully thought through to add to your comfort including good coffee and great shower. Colleen was a particularly thoughtful host.

Stay above the city. Views ,Carpark ,Nightlife.
Gary’s place was amazing! We went to an event at the Powerstation which was 600m away. Communication and directions for checking in were spot on. The apartment was stunning, fantastic views over the city, clean and welcoming. Bed was super comfy and it was very peaceful. Gary left eggs for us for breakfast which we scrambled and everything you could possibly need was there. We will definitely stay there again when we are in Auckland and highly recommend.

[2BR] Modern Retreat by Westgate
We enjoyed staying in this new suburb. The house was very clean and well looked after, and has everything we needed. Very quiet neighbourhood, no shops within walking distance but Westgate shopping mall and supermarket is within an easy short drive.

Luxurious SeaView Retreat
Where to begin, This by far is the best AirBnB we have stayed in and we have travelled! We wanted for nothing as Tania provided food, pantry, well stocked kitchen, comfort and so much advise and endless help for what our needs were to leave the country! Can’t recommend Tania and Mikes place enough!

Piha Designer House - Ocean Views - 2 brm
Just wow. What a beautiful. serene home. The view is stunning. Its a little way out of town but we quite liked that. Enjoyed chilling on the outside lounge and drinking in the view. Coffee machine makes a great coffee. We will definitely be back.

Clean and Elegant Ponsonby Character Villa
We had a fabulous weekend at Carla's house - the location is perfect within walking distance to Jervois Road and Ponsonby Road...the house is beautiful, comfortable and was ideal for our weekend away. Carla was also very accomodating with late requests, and very responsive. Thanks so much!!

The Black Pearl
We had a fantastic stay at The Black Pearl. We loved the sea views, comfy beds and location. The house was easy to find and reach by taxi or bus, the local bowls club was great for a feed and a few drinks, and the French bakery down the road was perfect for a light breakfast before heading out for the day. It was great to have the fireplace for the chilly nights/mornings, and Kurt and Sacha were quick to respond to our messages. Overall an amazing stay and great value for money.

Highbrook Views
Lovely place, quiet and private with a really nice outlook.

Country Paradise
Grace was so accommodating with our request for a long term stay while we waited to move into our new home. Communication was excellent and the place had all the amenities of home. The location was a bit further out than we realized but it was was beautiful and peaceful. Would highly recommend to others

Stunning Family Home 独栋别墅(18 mins from Airport)
Easy check in process, very clean and large space which was great for the family. No issues whatso ever. I recommend for a place away from the hustle and bustle, but still close enough to drive.

' Palm Haven' Swanson, Peaceful semi rural living.
Just like the name says - a haven! Peaceful place to get some time out. Donna was caring and helpful. Really enjoyed my stay and hope to return soon.

Private Oasis
Great family home to fit our big family. Very clean and comfortable. The man cave is a great feature. Location is good, close to the city and close to motorways that take you north west and south. Highly recommended

Auckland Bucklands Beach sea view house
Our group of two families really enjoyed our stay at Grace’s place. There was more than enough space for the 8 of us and the views were amazing. We had one small issue with the gas but Grace gave helpful instructions and came to double check and sorted things out for us. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Your guide to Auckland
All About Auckland
Auckland is a beautiful city sandwiched between the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean on New Zealand’s North Island. It’s New Zealand’s biggest city, with a walkable downtown and vibrant suburbs surrounded by rolling hills, soaring mountains, and stunning beaches.
The central business district (CBD) offers an array of cultural attractions at the heart of the city. You’ll find museums such as the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki here, the largest in the country with more than 17,000 works on display, and the Auckland War Memorial Museum, which explores New Zealand history through exhibits that include artifacts from Māori and Pacific collections. For a spot in the sun and some greenery, grab a bench in Albert Park. And when you’ve worked up an appetite, hit the glittering lights of the Viaduct Harbour, which is home to more than 30 bars and restaurants, or visit world-class wineries on Waiheke Island.
Auckland also has numerous breathtaking beaches that are only a short car or ferry ride away. Choose between the popular seaside suburb of Mission Bay, the rugged black sand beach Piha, or the surfing haven of Anchor Bay. Or head out on one of the many hiking trails in the surrounding mountains or islands, taking in all that this scenic city has to offer.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Auckland
Auckland has a coastal climate, meaning there are few extremes in temperature throughout the year. It’s also one of the sunniest parts of New Zealand. But because the weather can also change rapidly due to cold fronts, it’s smart to pack for all weather, including rain, regardless of when you book an Auckland vacation rental. It’s also a good idea to bring sun protection for the spring and summer, due to the intensity of the UV rays in New Zealand.
Generally you can expect warm, humid summers, which run from December to February, making this a great time to hit nearby beaches and festivals in the surrounding islands.
During the fall (March to May), you can expect the long sunny days to continue and the higher temps to cool. Spring (September to November) is similarly mild.
Winters (June to September) can get quite cool and damp, making it a great time to wander the city’s museums.
Top things to do in Auckland
Waiheke Island
Waiheke Island is about a 45-minute ferry ride from the Auckland CBD. This beautiful, hilly island offers opportunities for hiking, swimming, and cycling.

Ponsonby
Ponsonby is one of Auckland’s hippest neighborhoods, located just a short walk from the CBD. It’s home to chic bars, pop-up food stalls, award-winning restaurants, and a thriving live music and DJ scene. This is where you’ll also find a number of creative and literary outlets, including independent bookstores, galleries, and artisan boutiques.
The Sky Tower
Standing at 328 meters tall and visible from virtually everywhere in Auckland, the Sky Tower is one of the tallest structures in the southern hemisphere. There is a rotating restaurant and an observation deck at the top. You can walk along the exterior edge of the Sky Tower on the SkyWalk.
