About this property

Princes Wharf's truly stunning North-West Loft

With arguably one of the Auckland CBD's most spectacular waterfront views, the prestigious and luxury North-West Loft occupies alone the prime, north-end penthouse position of Princes Wharf’s Shed 22.
Why not a "City of Sails" experience from one of NZ’s most exclusive locations?
If you have travelled far, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment with carpark, includes additional luxury comforts & amenities worth considering (see below). Wow special family or friends with a getaway to remember.
For many, in terms of an ideal location with vantage points, this is as good as it gets.
- Absolute waterfront with room to move within a spacious 135m2 over two levels
- Includes the highlight 6th floor entertaining level with open plan kitchen and a wrap-around balcony taking in both North and West aspects
- All three bedrooms on both levels view the morning sunrise on the eastern side, with views across the Wharf, Harbour through to North Head, Devonport
- All-day sun continues from the Loft's predominant northern aspect, looking across Auckland's Waitemata Harbour to the North Shore.
- Days will often conclude with gorgeous evening sunsets sinking slowly in the west, followed by the Auckland Harbour Bridge’s own amazing light displays - all enjoyed directly from your deck.
- The west-side balcony also overviews the moorings below of a number of some of the City's historical tall-masted boats (along with the America's Cup celebrations)
- Slightly out of earshot are some famous dining establishments (literally a few steps from the bottom of your lift ride from the penthouse to ground floor) your starting point to a multitude of vibrant eateries that unfold along the wider, Viaduct district.
Many guests discern the Loft's relaxed ‘resort’ vibe, momentarily forgetting that the very centre of Auckland City itself, lies just behind them.
A short walk to the next wharf along accesses Auckland’s Harbour ferry network, and beyond that, the city's central public transport hub (Britomart) commences journeys to its various suburbs, beaches, other dining districts and historical attractions.
For those wanting a relaxed stay-put experience, or to simply entertain in the city, from your vantage point the various harbour views and activities will always provide continuous entertainment in and of themselves.
The North-West Loft is the new AirBnB Auckland Central attraction, already described by its first, well-travelled guests as "truly stunning".
Guest access
Guests have full private access to the apartment - and no need to organise or rent a carpark - a secure/covered space comes complimentary to the Loft.

Amazing Space in Aukland
This home is beyond words. From the breath taking views to the convenience of local this place has it all. Our Host, Peter, went above and beyond making the end of our month long journey perfect. Great communication and willingness to take care of our every need (even through flight delays)was so appreciated. Can’t say enough except lucky you who gets to stay here

Amazing in Auckland
The view and location were perfect for exploring Auckland CBD and catching the ferry to the islands. Peter was an excellent host and went above and beyond to help us enjoy our stay. Watching the sailboats race in the afternoon from the lanai was relaxing after a long day of exploring .

Awesome location
We had a wonderful 4 nights at this perfectly located condo right on the wharf. It is well equipped, close to everything, and fabulous restaurants within walking distance. Our host, Peter, was responsive and made sure all was to our liking. Saturday night was a bit noisy as the nearby bars closed but other nights were fine. Great place and would use again.

Happiness HQ
To anyone reading this RUSH TO BOOK! We were a group of 6 celebrating two 60th birthdays and Peter the host went way and beyond to accommodate us including sourcing wine trips and way much more. The property is as pictured - the views are breathtaking, the apartment is spacious and clean - the beds are comfortable with incredible quality linen, there is everything you need at Happiness HQ to have an exceptional stay in Auckland. There is access to fantastic restaurants within a 5 min walking distance and public transit and shopping near byWe cannot thank Peter enough this property stay was one of our highlights if this is any indication of how amazing and quiet the property is one of our group slept outside on the balcony the entire stay (bar one night when it rained) to savor the experience of being on the water and breathing the quality air of Auckland - we would recommend for any group of travelers looking for a quality space to stay.

Definitely one of the best
This is one of the best vacation rental place that we have ever been as a family. The view itself was priceless, and the host was amazing, easy to communicate and the property was clean and immaculate with all of the amenities, a nice coffeemaker, washer/dryer, heater, but the view itself is a million dollar view. Definitely a place that we will go back again if we go back to Auckland.

About the host

Hosted by Peter

Host profile image
Having travelled much ourselves, we've become very focused mission-wise, on being 'those hosts you don't know yet who'll cover your back' - whether you harken from afar or near. That's our key value but it also makes hosting rather rewarding at the end of the day.

Ultimately, travel is so often an exercise in long-distance trust and it's (too) often a relief to have that trust confirmed. (Pardon a little zealotry ;-)
