Lighter Quay - Pool & Gym Parking - Stair Access

A well-equipped one-bedroom apartment in the sought-after Lighter Quay Pavilion — private balcony overlooking the private Lighter Quay courtyard, Nespresso machine, dishwasher, in-unit laundry, and full access to the complex`s heated pool, spa, sauna, and gym. Secure car park included. Please note: access to this apartment is via one flight of stairs — there is no lift. North Wharf dining, the Viaduct, and Silo Park are all minutes on foot.

One important thing to know before anything else: this apartment is accessed via one flight of stairs — there is no lift in the Pavilion building. If you have mobility requirements or prefer lift access, please take a look at our other Lighter Quay listings before booking and we`re very happy to help you find the right fit. For guests who are comfortable with stairs, this is a well-equipped, attractively positioned waterfront apartment that consistently earns its 4.8 location score.

The apartment is bright and comfortably configured throughout, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony overlooking the private Lighter Quay courtyard — one of the more calming views you`ll find in the Viaduct area, away from the bustle of the street and the busier harbour edge. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area is modern and well laid out, with a Smart TV, dedicated workspace, and comfortable lounge seating that makes an evening in as appealing as an evening out.

The kitchen is genuinely well-equipped for self-catering: oven, stovetop, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and a Nespresso coffee machine that makes the morning routine considerably more enjoyable. In-unit washer and dryer add practical self-sufficiency for longer stays. The queen bed is well-appointed with quality linen, and the bathroom features a modern walk-in shower with good quality toiletries provided. Air conditioning and heating keep the apartment comfortable year-round, and fast WiFi is reliable throughout.

The complex`s shared facilities are a genuine highlight: a heated indoor pool, spa, sauna, and fully equipped gym — including treadmill, stationary bike, yoga mat, and free weights — all available to guests throughout the stay. Secure undercover car parking is included with the apartment, which at this Viaduct Harbour address is a meaningfully useful inclusion.

Lighter Quay Pavilion sits at the edge of Wynyard Quarter — one of the most successful urban waterfront regenerations in the Southern Hemisphere. The North Wharf dining precinct is right on your doorstep: Baduzzi for handmade pasta and Italian small plates, Hello Beasty for bold Asian-inspired sharing plates, Giraffe for waterfront dining, and a wonderful selection of bars and wine rooms that make this one of Auckland`s best places for an evening out. Silo Park, with its outdoor cinema, weekend markets, and public art, is a short stroll, as is the Auckland Fish Market.

On Saturday mornings, the Wynyard Quarter Farmers Market sets up along the waterfront — freshly shucked oysters, artisan bread, and serious coffee from roasters who take their craft seriously. The Viaduct Harbour`s celebrated restaurant and bar strip is an easy walk east, connecting through to Commercial Bay`s flagship waterfront retail and dining precinct and Britomart`s cobblestoned laneways. The Auckland Ferry Terminal is nearby for Waiheke Island, Devonport, and Hauraki Gulf services. The CBD`s Queen Street, Sky Tower, and Aotea Centre are all within comfortable walking distance.

The entire apartment is yours — queen bedroom, bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, open-plan living and dining area, private balcony, and one secure undercover car park. Full access to the Lighter Quay complex`s heated pool, spa, sauna, and gym is included throughout your stay.

Please note: the Pavilion building has stair access only — there is no lift. The staircase is one flight and well-maintained. Keys are collected from the Quinovic Viaduct office at 10 Hobson Street (ground floor) — approximately a 10-minute walk from the apartment. For arrivals outside office hours, key collection is available via lockbox. Full instructions will be sent the day before your arrival.

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Keys are available from a secure location across the road from the apartment.

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. A private airport transfer can be arranged at additional cost with at least 48 hours notice — your driver can collect the keys and meet you directly at the airport.

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.
