About this property

Lighter Quay Waterfront Living at Its Finest 3 Bed

A spacious, elegantly appointed three-bedroom apartment in the celebrated Lighter Quay Stratis building — directly waterfront facing, with marina and city skyline views from a covered private balcony, three queen beds, two well-appointed bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, dedicated workspace, in-unit laundry, and full access to the building`s heated indoor pool, spa, sauna, and gym. Free secure parking. North Wharf dining and the Viaduct are minutes on foot.

Lighter Quay Stratis is one of Auckland`s most admired waterfront addresses, and this three-bedroom apartment occupies one of its most coveted positions — directly waterfront facing, with uninterrupted marina and city skyline views that open up across the covered private balcony and through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the main living area. The view here is not incidental. It is the thing you come back to every morning, every evening, and at every quiet moment in between.

Three queen bedrooms are each comfortably and attractively furnished with quality hotel linen, with the two full bathrooms serving the group in a practical configuration that works well for families, two couples travelling together, or a group of friends who want quality and space without compromise. The open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area is well-proportioned and beautifully appointed — bright with natural light from the waterfront aspect, with direct access to the covered balcony for morning coffee above the marina and evening drinks as the Wynyard Quarter precinct settles into its quieter residential rhythm.

The kitchen is fully equipped for proper self-catering: oven, stovetop, dishwasher, microwave, fridge/freezer, and all the essentials for preparing a proper meal. A dedicated workspace with high-speed WiFi makes this equally practical for guests combining work with their stay. In-unit washer and dryer add self-sufficiency for longer visits. Air conditioning and a Smart TV complete a well-resolved interior that guests consistently praise for both its spaciousness and its setting.

The building`s shared facilities — a heated indoor pool, spa, sauna, hot tub, and fully equipped gym — are available exclusively to Lighter Quay Stratis residents and their guests. Free secure parking is included.

Lighter Quay Stratis is one of the most sought-after addresses on the Auckland waterfront — a prestige residential building positioned directly on the Lighter Quay waterway at the western edge of Wynyard Quarter. The building`s architecture takes its cues from the working maritime heritage of the precinct, with considered detailing, quality materials, and a sense of place that makes arriving here feel genuinely different from a generic CBD apartment tower.

The building is fully gated and secure, with lift access to all residential floors and a quality of shared spaces that reflects the premium character of the development throughout. The heated indoor pool, spa, sauna, hot tub, and gym are reserved exclusively for residents and their guests — a meaningful distinction from hotel facilities in a comparable price bracket. Free secure parking beneath the building is a rare and genuinely valuable inclusion at this waterfront address.

The entire apartment is yours — all three bedrooms, both bathrooms, kitchen, open-plan living and dining area, dedicated workspace, covered private balcony with marina and city views, and one free secure car park. Full access to the building`s heated indoor pool, spa, sauna, hot tub, and gym is included throughout your stay.

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Key collection is from Wynyard Mart on Halsey Street — a 24-hour convenience store a couple of minutes` walk from the complex. Present your booking confirmation to the attendant and they will hand you the key. Full details will be confirmed the day before your arrival. Early check-in can often be accommodated subject to availability — please enquire at booking.

Wynyard Mart is open 24 hours, which means early arrivals and late-night check-ins are equally straightforward — no need to coordinate around office hours. If you are arriving by taxi or rideshare, it is worth asking your driver to wait while you collect the key, as it is a very quick stop and the walk to the apartment with luggage is easier with a drop-off close to the door.

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.

Lighter Quay Stratis 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 finest places to spend an evening. 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. 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.

Auckland is easily explored from Lighter Quay Stratis. The Inner Link and Outer Link buses connect the central suburbs frequently. Britomart Transport Centre is an easy walk with full train network connections. The Auckland Ferry Terminal is nearby for Waiheke Island and harbour services. Free secure parking is included 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 the balcony 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.
We kindly ask all guests to help us maintain the peaceful, high-standard environment of this home by following a few simple rules:

A valid photo ID, email address, and phone number are required prior to check-in.

Please respect our no-party policy and observe quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM.

Smoking, vaping, or drug use is not permitted inside the suite or anywhere in the apartment, building, complex or balcony.

In the rare case of a noise complaint or evidence of smoking, an additional fee of up to NZD $500 may apply.

Key collection is from a secure location just a couple of minutes short walk from the apartment complex. Wynyard Mart is a 24 hour convenience store on Halsey Street in the heart of Wynard Quarter. Just give your confirmation details to the attendant who will then give you the key. The property is then just a short walk away.

These measures ensure that every guest enjoys a serene, premium experience — thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Excellent location and facilities for when you need a kitchen while you are away, or for a night of cooking, with restaurants just a stroll down to the waterfront. Thanks to Jonathan and the team, who were excellent to deal with and very accommodating.
