Pool, a Gym & 2 Bedrooms — Level 10 in the CBD

A two-bedroom apartment on the 10th floor of the Aura complex in Auckland`s CBD — a private balcony, two comfortable bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, and full access to the building`s swimming pool, steam room, and gym. The Sky Tower is a three-minute walk. Queen Street, Aotea Square, and the University of Auckland are all on foot. Great value for central Auckland. Key safe access.

On the 10th floor of the Aura complex, this two-bedroom apartment does something that many short-stay options in the city struggle with: it puts you genuinely in the middle of everything, at a price point that makes the location feel like the main event — because it is.

The apartment is a practical, well-equipped city base. Two comfortable bedrooms with quality linen provide proper sleeping space for two couples or a small family. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is well laid out with natural light from the balcony-facing windows — a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering, a Smart TV, and high-speed WiFi. The private balcony brings the energy of the CBD outside your door, and the building`s elevation means you genuinely feel the city around you.

The building`s shared facilities are a genuine bonus: a swimming pool, steam room, and gymnasium are available to residents and their guests throughout the day. Secure lift access to all residential floors. For guests who want to be within walking distance of everything Auckland`s city centre offers — Sky Tower, Aotea Square, Queen Street, the University of Auckland, Karangahape Road`s dining and bar scene, and Britomart — this apartment makes a compelling case.

The Sky Tower is a three-minute walk — the most recognisable landmark in the Auckland skyline and a useful anchor for guests orienting themselves in the city for the first time. SkyCity`s entertainment complex and restaurants are immediately alongside. Queen Street`s shopping, dining, and cafés run from near the building all the way down to the waterfront. Aotea Square and the Civic Theatre anchor Auckland`s arts and events precinct a short walk away.

The University of Auckland campus is close by, as is Auckland Art Gallery and Albert Park. Karangahape Road`s excellent independent dining and bar scene — Cazador, Bar Magda, Apéro, and some of Auckland`s best late-night venues — is a short walk uphill. The Viaduct Harbour, Britomart, and Commercial Bay are all reachable on foot downhill towards the waterfront. Auckland Ferry Terminal is nearby for Waiheke Island and harbour services.

Auckland is highly walkable from Cook Street — the Sky Tower, Queen Street, Aotea Square, K Road, and the university are all on foot. Britomart Transport Centre connects the full train network and is a comfortable walk downhill. The Inner Link and Outer Link buses stop nearby for the central suburbs. Uber and taxis are available throughout the CBD at all hours. Auckland Airport is approximately 25 to 35 minutes by car.
