About this property
Hobson Quay Penthouse 3 Bed Views Parking Viaduct
A split-level three-bedroom penthouse at Hobson Quay — city and Viaduct Harbour views from a private balcony, king master upstairs with ensuite, queen bedroom upstairs, twin bedroom downstairs with ensuite, coffee maker, dishwasher, in-unit laundry, and free secure parking. Extra spacious throughout. Guests consistently highlight location, indoor spaces, views, and hospitality. Please note: one flight of stairs to reach the top floor, then internal stairs between levels.
Two things to know before anything else. First, access: the lift in Hobson Quay serves the building to the floor below the penthouse, and one flight of stairs is required to reach the top floor. Once inside, the apartment itself spans two levels connected by an internal staircase. This is a well-maintained, characterful configuration that guests who have stayed consistently find entirely worthwhile — but guests with mobility requirements should be aware before booking. Second, the views: from the top floor of Hobson Quay, the city and Viaduct Harbour open up in a way that a lower floor simply cannot offer, and the balcony gives you that outlook in its full form.
The apartment is generously proportioned across both levels and guests consistently single out the spaciousness as one of its standout qualities. The upper level has the king master bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom and direct balcony access, alongside the second bedroom with a comfortable queen bed served by a well-appointed shared bathroom. The lower level has the third bedroom with twin beds and its own private ensuite, alongside the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area.
The living area is warm and well-proportioned, with comfortable lounge seating, a Smart TV, dedicated workspace, and high-speed WiFi. The kitchen is fully equipped for proper self-catering: stovetop, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and all the cooking essentials for a group of six. In-unit washer and dryer add self-sufficiency. Air conditioning ensures year-round comfort throughout both levels. Free secure parking is included beneath the building.
Hobson Quay sits right on the Auckland waterfront, connecting the Viaduct Harbour precinct to the Ferry Building and the wider central waterfront. From the penthouse balcony, the Viaduct Harbour`s restaurant and bar strip stretches out below — Baduzzi, Hello Beasty, Giraffe, and the full sweep of the waterfront dining scene are all within comfortable walking distance. The Auckland Ferry Terminal is a short walk 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 Viaduct Harbour and Wynyard Quarter`s North Wharf dining precinct are both close, as is the New Zealand Maritime Museum and Spark Arena for events. The Sky Tower and SkyCity are a short walk, and the CBD`s Queen Street shopping and Aotea Square are equally accessible. This is one of the most genuinely central and walkable addresses in the city.
The entire apartment is yours across both levels — all three bedrooms, all three bathrooms, the kitchen, open-plan living and dining area, dedicated workspace, private balcony, and one free secure car park. Please note: one flight of stairs is required to reach the penthouse from the lift level, and the apartment has internal stairs between its two levels
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.

Auckland is easily explored on foot from Hobson Quay — the location highlight from guests reflects a genuinely exceptional waterfront position. Britomart Transport Centre is a comfortable walk with full train network connections. The Auckland Ferry Terminal is nearby. Free secure parking is included for guests arriving by car. Auckland Airport is approximately 30 to 40 minutes by car.
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.

Please note: the lift serves to one floor below the penthouse — one flight of stairs is required to reach the top floor. The apartment then spans two levels connected by internal stairs. The staircase is well-maintained, but guests with mobility requirements or a preference for full lift access throughout should be aware of this before booking. We are happy to suggest alternatives from our portfolio if needed. 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.

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.
