Million Dollar View!

Fall in love with Auckland 'the city of sails!' We're right on the doorstep of downtown Auckland and the gorgeous cafe soaked 'Viaduct Harbour'. Our tastefully decorated home is light, airy and fresh with unimpeded views of the harbour - it's sensational! 5 mins walk to nearby Ponsonby with its wonderful shops and restaurants, or a 15 minute walk to the Viaduct Basin. Honestly, you'd be hard pressed to find a better location!
Our house is a traditional bungalow dating back to the 1860s. We have completely renovated it and split it into two 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 you can 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.
Parking is available on the property.
Special Conditions: Strictly no parties or events at this location.

Lovely sea view property
Very well equipped property with a super helpful host. We were in the Kawau Suite on the lower level which still had a great view. Quality dishes, cutlery, glassware, pots and pans and a full size refrigerator/freezer. Good wifi/internet We were just two people in a 2 bedroom suite. There is no dining room table and chairs inside, but counter seating and good seating outside

We loved this little house
We enjoyed this home away from home in Auckland. The view from the deck is just as advertised! A great spot for relaxing after a day in the city. We used Uber quite a bit. We could have walked to downtown, but then we would have had little energy left, so we relied on Uber when going downtown. Uber has excellent service in Auckland. Well equipped small kitchen. Small but comfortable living area. The house is in a very residential area but an easy walk to Ponsonby. We recommend this home heartily.

Perfect hideaway!
Wonderful little bungalow! The view is astounding! The area is really nice, although it is really hilly so not super walkable for us older out of shape people :-) No worried though, Ubers were easy to get and there was much to be explored! The owners generously left us some tastes of NZ and the kitchen had all the seasonings and kitchen stuff you might need It seemed! We didn’t not cook though, but enjoyed Uber eats while watching a movie in their comfortable living room! The bed was really comfortable for me and the linens were luxurious. We fell in love with Ruby the kitty! I enjoyed sitting out in the patio watching the bridge lights and birds fly around! So lovely.. we would absolutely stay again! Thank you!!

Lovely place
Great place to stay if you like cats and don't mind the fastidious need to care for the wooden kitchen surfaces. The presence of the cat and the attitude that it could be left outside was strange in a country that has lost so much fauna due to ferral predation. The view is magnificent which is wonderfully relaxing in any weather. Storage space for clothes and suitcases is rather constrained. Would stay at this location again despite the minor issues of cat fur, caring for the cat and space constraints.

Beautiful sunrises and a cuddly cat companion
This worked really well for us as a base for exploring Auckland and attending pieces of the Women's World Cup (about a 10 minute walk to a bus stop, route goes right by Eden Park). We also appreciated the laundry facilities, kitchen facilities, and provided basic breakfast fixings. The one thing I wish I had better understood going in is that the sleeping area is physically and visually separated from the "lounge" and eating areas, but there is no bedroom door, so earplugs are really important if two occupants are on different sleep schedules.

Brilliant location and harbour views!
This cozy home was a great location to explore Auckland from. The harbour view is wonderful and we were treated a light show on the Auckland Bridge in the evenings. The kitchen was well stocked and had breakfast foods available, much appreciated! We highly recommend this place.

Wonderful view, Easy check in/out, Cute & Comfy stay
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. The unit was clean and appropriately appointed. Ruby the cat was friendly and so cute. The view was great during the day, but even better at night with the lights in the harbor and on the bridge. It was close enough to walk to restaurants both downtown and to the closer eclectic shopping area to the south.

Fantastic accommodation
My husband and I stayed here for five nights when we first arrived in New Zealand. The house was clean and comfortable, very well-stocked and beautifully decorated. The million dollar view that is advertised is actually priceless. After touring the city, we enjoyed relaxing on the deck and watching the harbour activity. At night we were treated to a light show on the bridge. This is in a beautiful neighbourhood and just a pleasant 25 minute walk to the CBD. We will be returning to Auckland for our last three days before we fly home. We are so looking forward to staying here again.

Beautiful view in a great location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Property was exactly as in the photos, clean, comfortable and with all the little extras (like pantry and kitchen items) that made our stay much easier. View was of course amazing and we spent our evenings enjoying dinner overlooking the water. The location was also very close to Ponsonby so easy to walk to groceries, restaurants and shops. Finally, Jenni and Cliff were wonderful to communicate with and answered any questions we had promptly. Overall would highly recommend and would love to stay again one day!

Cute, well appointed place in a great location!
This is a great place for a couple to tour the city of Auckland as you can walk to a great many sites of interest. It's also in proximity to a ton of restaurants within walking distance which was nice as well. We did have a car and there's off street parking so when we weren't using the car we didn't need to worry about it. The area was safe and quiet, which was really nice. The house was very comfortable and well appointed - it was particularly nice to have the access to spices and things so we didn't need to buy a whole container. The patio has phenomenal views and we ate out there for every meal we were at the house. Cliff and Jenni were great hosts, patiently answering all our questions about various things before we got there. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to stay.
