About this property

Freshly Updated Studio in the Heart of Auckland

A freshly painted and updated studio apartment in Auckland`s CBD at Hobson Quay — Murphy bed, air conditioning, fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher (no oven), in-unit laundry, dedicated workspace, and free secure parking included (height limit 1.95m). Five minutes on foot from the Viaduct Harbour waterfront and Britomart. The Sky Tower, Queen Street, and Commercial Bay are all within easy walking distance. A practical, well-located city base at a great value price point.

The entire studio is yours — Murphy bed, bathroom, kitchen, living and workspace area, and one free secure car park beneath the building. Please note the car park has a height limit of 1.95m.

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Self check-in via key safe — full instructions and codes will be sent the day before your arrival. Early check-in can often be accommodated subject to availability — please enquire at booking.

While we will leave you in peace to enjoy your time in Auckland, we are available 24 hours a day for an emergency.

For those non-urgent like-to-haves, just give us a call or a quick message and we will do everything we can to make this your most memorable trip to Auckland yet.

Hobson Quay sits in Auckland`s CBD, five minutes on foot from the Viaduct Harbour waterfront. That short walk puts you at the entrance to one of Auckland`s most celebrated dining and entertainment precincts — Baduzzi, Hello Beasty, Giraffe, and the full sweep of Viaduct waterfront dining and bars. The Auckland Ferry Terminal is close for Waiheke Island and Hauraki Gulf services. Commercial Bay`s flagship retail and dining complex and Britomart`s cobblestoned laneways are within easy reach.

The Sky Tower and SkyCity are a short walk from the building. The Auckland Art Gallery, Albert Park, and the University of Auckland campus are close by. Queen Street`s shopping, cafés, and dining run from near the building down to the waterfront. Karangahape Road`s creative dining and bar scene is easily accessible. This is a genuinely central CBD address — everything is close, and the five-minute walk to the waterfront means you get the proximity without the price premium of a waterfront-facing apartment.

The entire studio is yours — Murphy bed, bathroom, kitchen, living and workspace area, and one free secure car park beneath the building. Please note the car park has a height limit of 1.95m. Access is via key safe — full instructions and codes will be sent the day before your arrival.

A complimentary starter pack is provided on arrival — a small selection of tea, coffee, milk, and bathroom essentials to get you settled comfortably from the moment you arrive. Supermarkets and convenience stores are nearby for any additional supplies you need during your stay.

Weekly and monthly discount rates are available and apply automatically to longer stays.

A private airport transfer can be arranged at additional cost — please get in touch at least 48 hours before your arrival and we will organise it for you.

To ensure a smooth arrival, we ask all guests to complete a short online pre-check-in form and upload a valid government-issued photo ID before arriving — this takes just a couple of minutes.

This is a non-smoking, no-vaping property throughout — including balconies and all common areas. No parties or events. Quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. Check-in is from 3:00 PM and checkout is by 10:00 AM.

The kitchen in this studio does not have an oven — it is equipped with a microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and stovetop essentials for easy self-catering. Guests planning on cooking full oven meals should be aware of this before booking.

Free secure parking is included — height limit 1.95m. Please check your vehicle measurements before booking if you plan to use the car park.

The Murphy bed folds away to give the living area full use during the day. It is comfortable and well-appointed, and the studio is well-suited to guests who appreciate a smart, space-efficient layout.
We kindly ask all guests to help us maintain the peaceful, high-standard environment of this home by following a few simple rules:

A valid photo ID, email address, and phone number are required prior to check-in.

Please respect our no-party policy and observe quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM.

Smoking, vaping, or drug use is not permitted inside the suite or anywhere in the apartment, building, complex or balcony.

In the rare case of a noise complaint or evidence of smoking, an additional fee of up to NZD $500 may apply.

Check in available after 3pm through lock box key collection. Lock boxes are located a short distance away, full details will be sent prior to arrival. We advise collecting the keys on your way to the apartment, if coming to the city via taxi or UBER, ask the taxi to wait a second while you collect the key. The walk to the apartment from the lock box is not far, but no one wants to walk in the city with suitcases!

These measures ensure that every guest enjoys a serene, premium experience — thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Limited housekeeping is available.
