This apartment is located in the award winning Beaumont Quarter and has a north facing sunny open plan living area & kitchen, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and a tandem (double) carpark with convenient lift access to your door on the top floor.
Here are 3 things people love about our apartment:
1. The location is simply outstanding. Beaumont Quarter is located little more than a stone's throw away from the hustle and the bustle of the city, yet tucked away in the best fringe location Auckland has to offer. We are isolated from the noise of the central city, however it's just a short 5-15 minute walk to Wynyard Quarter, Ponsonby and much of the CBD. Our guests frequently comment on how quiet Beaumont Quarter is given its central location.
2. Unlike many of the shoebox apartments in the CBD, our place has 59 m² floor area (similar to some two bedroom apartments). This means we have space for a full lounge suite, a six seater dining table and a kitchen that you won't feel cramped in. The apartment has been recently renovated and furnished to a very high standard with modern contemporary furniture. High ceilings and an abundance of natural light through the north-facing floor-to-ceiling ranch sliders make this a light and airy, spacious apartment.
3. The Seely Posturepedic Super King bed is combined with high thread count sheets and the wool all-seasons duvet, to create a luxurious, comfortable, and restful experience.
Here are 3 things to consider before renting our apartment:
1. The apartment is in a residential area and close-knit community, so no parties are permitted in the apartment at all times during your stay. This applies to all residents, so ensures you will have a peaceful and quiet stay yourself.
2. Even though private and elevated, the apartment is located in a central city neighbourhood, so you will be near other buildings and other residents. That’s not a downside, since the neighbours are generally a very considerate group of people, but you will be aware of their presence on occasion. Most people actually love it, since you will have a chance to meet locals and quickly strike up a conversation. Live like a local amongst locals and you will love your stay.
3. Living in a close-knit community requires some basic rules to make things easier. We ask that you abide by these rules and that you are a considerate neighbour. By all means enjoy yourself, just be mindful of noise and loud music both inside and out and you’ll have a fabulous time.

The laundry includes both a washing machine and a dryer, and we supply washing powder.
GETTING AROUND
Our place is less than a 15 minutes walk or a $5-10 Uber ride to much of the central city, including Westhaven, Wynyard Quarter, Viaduct Harbour, Queen St, and Ponsonby.
If you want to catch a bus, the CityLink, InnerLink and OuterLink all have stops nearby.
PARKING
Free secure parking for up to two cars is provided in a tandem car parking space located below the apartment building. There is direct access to the apartment via a small flight of stairs and a lift (you need to able to climb up 5 steps).
There are plenty of bicycle racks located inside the secure underground parking.
OPTIONAL EXTRAS
Regular cleaning. If you are staying for a few weeks, perhaps you would like to arrange regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning or a one-off additional clean. The cost is $164/visit for a clean and linen change, and $102/visit for a standard clean (no linen change). You can either arrange this in advance, or while you are staying.
Portacot (additional $6/day). We can provide Jolly Jumper Roma 2-in-1 portacots that have both bassinet and cot level. This model has passed safety tests and is recommended by Consumer NZ. We'll also provide cots sheets and blankets.
Access to the recreation centre including gym, spa and sauna is from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.
We will do our best to greet you at check-in. We also live in Beaumont Quarter, so we can pop over and provide assistance if required.
We've created a comprehensive online guidebook of local attractions that we will send you a link to after you book.
You must have at least one Airbnb profile photo that clearly shows your face, and you must have Airbnb verified Government ID.
Quiet time after 10 pm.
To reduce the amount of chemicals used, you must use the shower located within the recreation centre before using the swimming pool or spa. This is enforced using CCTV and will result in a $50 fine if violated. Please follow the other rules detailed on the recreation centre door.
You will be allocated a dedicated car park that you are welcome to use for your entire stay. Electric vehicle charging is not possible from this car park.
We also have visitor parking (for your visitors) that is only for use by visitors for 3 hours and this is enforced with clamping/towing 24/7. If your visitors need to stay longer, there is pay parking out on Beaumont St, which becomes free parking after 6 pm. If you need an extra car park let us know and we can try to sort out an extra car park for you.
If you are staying overnight, Beaumont Quarter considers you a resident and may only use the visitor parking for 10 minutes for pick ups / drop offs. We want to make sure your group have a good experience, and getting clamped/towed and then getting pinged $200 would probably ruin your day.
Please be aware that if you burn any food when cooking, do NOT open the front door out to the hallway to disperse the smoke. Instead, open the ranch slider and bedroom windows and the smoke should clear in a couple of minutes. If the smoke detector in the hallway is triggered, then the entire building alarm goes off, everyone in the building needs to evacuate, and three fire trucks are automatically sent out. Beaumont Quarter get charged for the fire trucks in the case of false alarms, and they pass this cost along (roughly $500).
For long-stay booking requests 27 nights or longer, we require that guests sign a standard "New Zealand Residential Tenancy Agreement". This gives you the same protections as other tenants in New Zealand, and helps keep our insurance company and accountant happy. After you have booked, we'll send you a link to a document that you can electronically sign.
The apartment complex management operates a CCTV surveillance system. Cameras record activity in common areas, including the roads, underground car parks and recreation centre. The recordings may be used for enforcement of the body corporate rules, and may be supplied to the police if illegal activity is suspected.
Before you arrive, you will be provided with a copy of the Beaumont Quarter welcome letter, and you are required to follow the rules outlined in this document.
