Waterfront vacation rentals in Auckland Central

This was a great apartment to stay in, super easy to get in (very detailed instructions), handy to the Wynyard Quarter and the Viaduct. Great views, nice and spacious - fantastic for a group.

If you are looking to stay in a beautiful home with spectacular views, you have just found the place! As soon as we arrived, Lynne greeted us with a big smile and a bouquet of fresh picked flowers. She was so warm and welcoming along with little dog Lexie, who was so friendly. Lynne’s place is very spacious, clean and tidy. The rooms are tastefully decorated with comfortable furniture. The bedding and linens were also top notch. The kitchenette was surprisingly stocked with fresh fruit, home made muffins, milk, water, cheese and crackers….and even a very nice bottle of wine! We stayed for two nights and enjoyed eating many of our meals on the deck, which overlooks the beach, which is less than a five minute walk away! Lynne’s small touches made our stay so relaxing that we hope to return again next year!

Phenomenal location and unique location right on the marina, with spectacular views of Viaduct Harbour and Sky Tower.

Simon’s listing is a true gem. This place did not disappoint! I feel like the photos and description don’t do it justice, it’s even better in person. My husband and I absolutely loved staying here. It was minutes of walking distance from tons of shops and restaurants but still felt incredibly private and secure. We throughly enjoyed sitting on the balcony, enjoying a glass of wine and the nice weather. It was hard to leave at the end of our stay! Can’t recommend this place enough or say enough good things about Simon as a host!

Located in the heart of the city, this property has great views and great facilities, so you can rest very comfortably. The accessibility was good, so it was very convenient to get around, and the friendly host made the trip even more enjoyable. This is the best place to stay if you want to stay again next time.

The place and location was amazing and well worth the surprise. Wished we could have stayed longer and highly recommend Emma's place.

Great location! Lots of restaurants, shops, department stores, etc. In walking distance. Great public transportation. Lots to see nearby. Great host! Lack of central ventilation could be problem if you like coocking. A/C would be nice.

Paul & Precys air bnb was a great place to stay for us for a couple of nights. Extremely clean & fresh light decor, easy to find, and very local walking distance to beach, restaurants, & shopping centre. Excellent value for money. Very friendly Host & great communication. Liz & Dave

Great place to stay, just a few flat steps from Palm Beach.. recommend.

Michael was the host that we worked with and he was wonderful!! He was very responsive, friendly and gave us great recommendations! We really enjoyed our stay!!

The stairs prepped us for the Tongariro Alpine Crossing! What sunrises and sunsets.

Great Airbnb! Amazing location. Strongly recommend.

This place is the most amazing Muriwai accommodation. Seeing the beach and surf report right from the balcony was a real treat! But the home and soroundings are also so beautiful and welcoming. We live nearby in Auckland and already had what we needed with us but Clare made sure we know she would be there for us to help and provide anything we're missing. The cafe and literally the cool shop up the road are a 5 minute drive and 22 minute walk away. Thank you so much for having us Clare! We're so grateful and we had an amazing time.

House was beautiful with amazing views. Both the pool and the hot tub were wonderful and the beach was short (10 min) walk. the kitchen and grill were great cooking and we loved all the Polish pottery! Overall, great location and house for our family.

This was the perfect place for us (4 sisters) treating our 90 yr old mum for her birthday. We rented both upstairs and downstairs so plenty of space and very easy for our mum to get around. The beachfront location was amazing. Gabrielle was very accommodating with a couple of requests we had and always prompt in replying. We would not hesitate to rent here again.

Great location virtually on the beach. We had an elderly parent with us who is not so mobile who enjoyed watching the action from the balcony. The property is very spacious, clean and well equipped. The sun is on the balcony from sunrise until around 4pm (February). To see the beautiful sunrises you had to walk along the beach but well worth it. Highly recommended.

Great place. aweesome view if you love the harbour and boats. some clubs are loud over the weekend, but listening to live music on the deck is not as terrible as it sounds (and its alot quieter if youre inside with the doors/windows closed). The cafes, restaurants and bars that are on your doorstep have great food and atmosphere. I can recommend Giraffe, White and Wongs, and Wildfire from this trip. The ferry terminal is 5-10 minutes walk from your door, so exploring the islands in the hauraki Gulf is right there. Lots of shopping and malls are 5-10 minutes walk inland. it's a great location with everything very close by and what isn't, is just a short uber or lime/flamingo scooter ride away. Warm, caring host thats very helpful, responsive, and lovely to deal with. Thank you once again Becky.

Maree was a lovely host and her apartment was so elegant and tasteful and filled with pretty things - it was a real treat to get to stay there. :)

Ivanli was an excellent host who was very attentive to our needs. The balcony was more breathtaking than the pictures provided. The cozy 2 bedroom apartment was big enough for the 3 of us and in a great location within walking distance to many restaurants and stores. It had everything we needed. Would highly recommend!

Linley's apartment was perfect! A beautifully setup place to relax in which had everything you needed, even down to a portacot for our little one. There a as also a swimming pool, spa and a carpark available. A quick walk to lovely cafes, and the Viaduct and downtown CBD. Just a perfect location! Linley was extremely helpful prior to our arrival and we would most definitely recommend a stay at this awesome air bnb. Thanks so much for everything Linley, and also to Karin! 🙂

We loved staying here! We were able to communicate with the hosts with ease. The Airbnb is within walking distance of restaurants, grocery stores and everything in between. Irene is really accomodating and had come down to check on us to see if we needed anything which was nice. The facilities were great. Personally, the pictures don’t do the property justice! We were pleasantly surprised at how spacious and homely it was. Most definitely would stay here again if I’m in the area next time😊

Pia was a wonderful host, welcoming us in person and making us feel right at home. Her place has the most well stocked kitchen I've ever seen in an Airbnb and it was so convenient to have little things like spices, cling wrap, etc. The apartment was furnished very thoughtfully and there is plenty of room to lounge around and relax. The location could not be better with the beach as your backyard. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here!

Repeat Customer This is just a very special place. We have stayed here multiple times. It feels like our home away from home. It’s just very unique to be in a very private building right in the middle of a fantastic beach town on what is probably the best urban beach in New Zealand. You will love it!

Great place in Auckland! Great location for walking to all the main attractions in Auckland. It is a perfect place for two people, comfortable, clean, quiet and is just like the photos. Highly recommend this place!
