Savour Stunning Gulf Views at a Boutique Hideaway

KylieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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.

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.

Marina Magic at Milford

BeatriceRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.

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 😊

CharlotteRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

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!

The Black Pearl

KateRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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.

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. Some of the most popular things to do are rent bikes or visit the island’s wineries, which produce great quality wines and usually have beautiful restaurants where you can spend an afternoon sipping a glass of refreshing sauvignon blanc.

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.
