Million Dollar View!

Fall in love with Auckland 'the city of sails!' We're near downtown Auckland and the gorgeous cafe soaked 'Viaduct Harbour'. Our tastefully decorated home is light, airy and fresh with unimpeded amazing views of the harbour - it's sensational!
Please note that due to a change in NZ law, our house has had to be re-listed on VRBO in 2024, as a new listing. Our previous listing had received 124 excellent reviews! We know you'll love your stay here!

Our house is a traditional bungalow. We have tastefully renovated it and split it into two completely 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 we 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.
There is a lawn area in front of the deck, and free car parking is available in our driveway (not common in this area).A great suburb to walk around Freemans Bay, Ponsonby, and St Marys Bay. You can walk along the boardwalk by the Westhaven Marina and stroll to the cafes underneath the Harbour Bridge or over to the amazing Viaduct Harbour, with all its cafes and restaurants.

We're about a 15 minute walk down to the local supermarket at Freemans Bay. It has everything you need from wine to fruit and vege and everything in between for your self-catering stay.

✦Things To Do✦

Visit the Auckland Art Gallery to see a full survey of Maori, Pacific, and Europan Art from pre-contact until the 21st century. There are paintings, sculptures, and multi-media art. This venue is also child friendly with an interactive children's area.

Go up the Sky Tower to get the best panoramic views of Auckland and the Hauraki Gulf. Go on a clear fine day to get the best of your admission. You can also go to the Revolving Restaurant for a meal or coffee. Check the website for details.

Visit the Auckland Museum to see the history of the flora, fauna, and culture of Aotearoa/New Zealand. See the finest collection of Maori Artifacts and textiles. There is a great interactive kids section and a newly installed T-Rex to visit! Enjoy the Auckland Domain and Winter Gardens outside.

Take a cruise on the harbour, or take a ferry to one of the Gulf Islands like Waiheke Island or Rangitoto Island. You can take the ferry from the Princess Wharf ferry terminal to most parts of Auckland. Try the day trip to Titirtiri Martangi Island to see the best display of endangered native birds.

Views for days!

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay! The views of the bay are stunning, and we spent as much time on the deck as possible before the mosquitos arrived. The home was very clean and well stocked. Perfect location for hiking in Abel Tasman and wine tasting at the nearby vineyards. I would not hesitate to book again!

We celebrated a significant birthday in Nelson with our children and new grandchild. The house is large enough to have 3 couples and a baby. We enjoyed the fabulous views, the large deck, and the spa pool. Special family memories made.

Stunning Selah

Struggling to find the words for how wonderful our stay was at Selah Retreat. Beautiful house with high-end finishes. But the view was beyond our wildest imaginations. Can't recommend this property enough, but hoping it's available next time we come to Nelson!

Lovely place to stay

Our party of 6 had a really good time staying at this lovely, well kept property. Great location with easy drive into Nelson and down to the beach. Main living area and deck are fantastic - views are amazing, and the garden was very pretty. Property was well presented, very clean and tidy. The only drawback for us was that the fourth bedroom, which is downstairs, is unlike what is shown in the photo on the listing, with it instead being a foldaway / pull down bed with no wardrobe and drawers in the room for clothes. We would definitely return to this property for future holidays in Nelson.

Our spa and relaxing stay at Nelson

We loved this property. The views are amazing and the house is superb. A couple of very minor comments are - only instant coffee available - only sufficient dishwasher detergent for one wash but we stayed 2 nights - it’s requested that the dishwasher be run and emptied with dishes put away before we leave. The eco cycle takes over 2 hours and we are asked to be out by 10am. Just running the dishwasher should be sufficient

Superb for the soul!

We cannot get enough of this beautiful property and are guttered we only stayed 2 nights. The beds are comfy with great linen. Heating systems are fantastic for those cold nights. The view was just stunning and we loved that you could enjoy it in the spa pool too. Check in was super easy and hosts are easy to contact if need be. We knew from Day 1 we would be back again to stay for longer than 2 nights. Thank so you so much!
