Company info

Stay Viaduct is an Auckland-owned company that runs a small portfolio of waterfront apartments in the Viaduct, The Sebel, The Quays and The Heritage. Each space is set up like a real home, full kitchen, in-suite laundry, fast fibre, and balconies that catch the harbour light, so you can work late, cook dinner, or simply breathe for a moment above the city. Business guests appreciate the quiet layouts and reliable invoicing; holiday-makers like how quickly the marina, cafés and ferry wharves unfold outside the lift. Behind every stay is a dedicated Auckland team that safeguards quality without imposing on your schedule. Self-check-in smooths late arrivals, in-house housekeeping keeps standards consistent, and any enquiry is managed by property specialists who know each apartment in detail,with no outsourced call-centre scripts. Thoughtful touches, secure parking on request, optional room servicing, and discreet guest screening add further peace of mind. Many returning guests say the experience feels more like borrowing a trusted friend’s apartment than booking a short-term rental.

Property info

Beautifully positioned one-bedroom apartment on the edge of the Viaduct Marina. You'll love the vibrant atmosphere that entertains below, you're right in the heart of the action with an array of bars and restaurants at your doorstep. This all-in-one Sebel apartment has a great view of the viaduct and receives the beautiful afternoon glow, so you don't even have to leave your apartment to catch that sunset over the harbour! Not to mention the stunning spacious balcony where you can kick back and enjoy some viaduct environment from the comfort of your own apartment. The apartment is fully equipped, so you only need to bring your suitcase!

Neighborhood info

The Sebel Hotel complex is right in the heart of the Viaduct, Auckland's most desired central real estate, with an array of bars and restaurants within 5 minutes' walk. The buzzing Wynyard Quarter development is within a 10-minute walk, and the new Commercial Bay establishment offers high-end retail and a wide range of classy food options. Enjoy harbour side walks around the marina and directly opposite your complex, work off last night’s meal in the gym or pop in for some laps in the public pool. The ferry terminal is a five-minute walk. We recommend visiting Waiheke Island, perhaps even a winery tour while you’re there! The Britomart transport hub for buses and trains is very close by, and taxis are available at the entrance to Princes Wharf. The Auckland Explorer Bus is the city's original hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour, and pick up is across the road from Princes Wharf. Explore Auckland's top attractions at your own pace and enjoy insightful commentary and friendly service along the way.
