About this property
Penthouse Group Retreat — 4 Bedrooms & 2 Car Parks
A generously proportioned two-level penthouse-style apartment directly across from the iconic Sky Tower — four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a spa bath, two secure parking spaces, and some of the most central views in Auckland. Extra spacious layout across two floors, consistently praised by guests. Fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and coffee maker, in-unit laundry, dining for eight. The Viaduct, Federal Street dining, and Britomart are all within easy reach. No air conditioning.
This two-level apartment sits directly opposite the Sky Tower — and from inside, that means a view that very few Auckland short-stay properties can offer. The Sky Tower fills the outlook in a way that makes the apartment`s address feel immediately real, and guests consistently call out both the view and the sheer amount of space as the two things that make a stay here memorable. The `extra spacious` highlight from guests is well-earned: across two full levels and four bedrooms, this is one of the largest group apartments available in the CBD.
The main living level is generous and well laid out — a large open-plan lounge with a couch, armchairs, and room for the whole group to gather comfortably, a dining table that seats eight, and a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave, and all the cooking essentials needed for a group of eight to self-cater properly rather than rely entirely on takeaway. The décor has a warm, lived-in quality that gives the apartment character — this is an honest, comfortable home-away-from-home rather than a sterile hotel fit-out, and guests who have stayed here consistently respond well to that.
The four bedrooms are spread across both levels: three queen beds and one twin bedroom configuration, with 4.5 bathrooms serving them — two ensuite and additional bathrooms ensuring that eight guests are never competing for a shower at once. A spa bath adds a touch of resort-style luxury that is particularly appreciated on a winter evening. In-unit washer and dryer, high-speed WiFi, and Smart TVs in the living areas complete a well-rounded package for a large group.
Please note this apartment does not have air conditioning — heating is available and works well throughout the colder months, but guests visiting during Auckland`s summer period should be aware of this. The Sky Tower views and the exceptional CBD location more than compensate, and the apartment`s two-level layout means good airflow is achievable with windows open during warm weather. Two secure car parking spaces are included — a genuinely valuable inclusion for a group of eight arriving with luggage, and a significant practical advantage over most CBD apartments in this size range.
The entire apartment is yours across both levels — all four bedrooms, all 4.5 bathrooms, the kitchen, open-plan living and dining area, and two secure car parking spaces. Access is via key safe — full instructions and codes will be sent the day before your arrival.
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Access is 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.
For those non-urgent like-to-haves, just give us a call or a quick message and we will do everything we can to make this your most memorable trip to Auckland yet.
The apartment`s Federal Street address puts it at the very heart of Auckland`s CBD — and right across from the Sky Tower, which means you are never in any doubt about where you are. Federal Street itself is one of Auckland`s most celebrated dining streets: Michelin-recognised restaurants, acclaimed chef-driven eateries, and some of the city`s most talked-about dining experiences are all within a minute or two on foot. For a group of eight, having this calibre of restaurant within walking distance is a significant practical advantage.
Aotea Square and the Civic Theatre anchor Auckland`s arts and events precinct a short walk away. Queen Street`s shopping, galleries, and cafés run downhill from here towards the waterfront. The Viaduct Harbour`s celebrated restaurant and bar strip, Commercial Bay`s flagship retail and dining complex, and Britomart`s cobblestoned laneways are all within comfortable walking distance. Britomart Transport Centre connects the full Auckland train network, and the Auckland Ferry Terminal is nearby for Waiheke Island and Hauraki Gulf services.
For guests who want to explore Auckland`s wider city and suburbs, the motorway network is accessible from the CBD and two secure car parking spaces are included with the apartment — so day trips to the Coromandel, Waiheke Island via the ferry, or the wider Auckland region are genuinely easy to plan from this base.
Auckland is easily explored on foot from this central address. Britomart Transport Centre is a short walk with full train network connections. The Inner Link and Outer Link buses connect the central suburbs frequently. Uber and taxis are available throughout the CBD at all hours. Two secure car parking spaces are included with the apartment 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.
To ensure a smooth arrival, we ask all guests to complete a short online pre-check-in form and upload a valid government-issued photo ID before arriving — this takes just a couple of minutes.
This is a non-smoking, no-vaping property throughout — including balconies and all common areas. No parties or events. Quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. Check-in is from 3:00 PM and checkout is by 10:00 AM.
Please note this apartment does not have air conditioning. Heating is available and effective throughout the cooler months. During Auckland`s summer, the two-level layout allows for good natural airflow with windows open, but guests who are sensitive to heat should factor this in, particularly for stays during December to February.
