INTRODUCTION

Our recently renovated apartment is located in the award winning Beaumont Quarter. Lavish with greenery, we invite you into a north facing spacious and light filled open plan living area & kitchen, 2 bedrooms, bathroom, separate laundry, complete with a secure car park.

Here you will experience effortless urban living in serene contemporary comfort. Bask in the all day sun and feel the calm of long reaching views over the marina and harbour in our place that we've thoughtfully furnished with a rich mix of NZ and mid century original design pieces. There’s also the on-site heated lap pool, spa, sauna and gym to enjoy.

Here are 3 things people love about our apartment:

1. The location is simply outstanding. Beaumont Quarter is located a little more than a stone's throw away from the hustle and 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, with leafy Victoria Park across the road and a gourmet supermarket less than 5min away 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. Walk into the serenity of a light and airy place, with high ceilings and an abundance of natural light through the north-facing floor-to-ceiling sliders.Being on the end and on the top floor makes for a quieter stay and the idyllic sunny aspect means the balcony was just made for alfresco eating and drinking as it follows the sun from sunrise to sunset while the peaceful outlook to the mast tops remind you how close you are to the marina. The sumptuous all day sun continues inside to the spacious living area

3. Exceptionally appointed, our place offers all the necessities and comforts for a peaceful and effortless stay. Be welcomed home by the lush carpet with extra thick underlay, sink into the lush furnishings with a design history and use the convenience of the Nespresso Lattissima Touch, a full laundry, or indulge in the full amenities of a sauna, spa and heated lap pool.

Here are 3 things to consider before renting our place:

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. This apartment is on the top floor, you'll need to be able to climb three flights of stairs (no lift, sorry). We'll meet you at check-in and help you with your bags. Being on the top floor is great, as you'll receive heaps of sun and no noise from people above you and you are on the end so the bedroom is super quiet. Even though private and elevated, the apartment is located in a central city neighbourhood, so you'll be close by 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, live and enjoy yourself, just be mindful of noise and loud music both inside and out and you’ll have a fabulous time.

ABOUT THIS HOME

The layout of this apartment with bedrooms on either side of the main living area and a separate laundry space, make this a great choice for friends and colleagues travelling for work.

BALCONY

The balcony was just made for alfresco eating and drinking. Directly north facing, it follows the sun from sunrise to sunset. The bespoke outdoor leaner sits under cover and gives comfortable seating and eating space for four. From here you can survey out towards the wide open skies and glistening of cars in the distance as they head over the harbour bridge. The mast tops remind you how close you are to the marina. All day light continues inside to the spacious living area with seating designed to kick back and enjoy the warm and changing light.

KITCHEN AND DINING

Our fully equipped kitchen includes superior stainless steel gourmet cookware, and chef-quality knives. Choose from an array of glassware and serving dishes to suit every entertaining situation. There’s a Nespresso with milk frother and a selection of tempting Nespresso capsules.

The bar leaner serves multiple purposes, either extra kitchen bench space, a dining table or somewhere to place your laptop looking out into the sky scape.

LOUNGE

INTERNET

BEDROOMS

Both bedrooms are the same size and give an outlook across the green urban landscape of Freemans Bay Complete with large triple slide back windows, you can even enjoy the view (and the through breeze) from the living area. Each have generous built in wardrobes and block out curtains to ensure a sound and uninterrupted sleep whatever the time of day. The sumptuous pocket sprung beds come with wool all-seasons duvets, high thread count sheets and a selection of soft, medium, hard and feather pillows.

The art in the bedrooms are NZ artists, ‘Call Of The Tui’ is by NZ photographer Brett Hayvice and ‘Pania - The Fall' is by Rakai Karaitiana.

FURNITURE

The furniture itself is mostly NZ designed and made, other pieces are mid century originals. You may recognize the couch design, that’s because it is an iconic design and build of Geoff Thurgood. He modelled it on the classic NZ bach couch and called it the 'Chester' after Garth Chester, an Aucklander who many called NZ's answer to Ray and Charles Eames with his mid century designs.

Sink back into the lush chair. It's also a Geoff Thurgood, covered with an opulent Mokum fabric, also a NZ company. In the bedroom the bedside tables are Susan Robinson Design from Whenuapai, West Auckland, the beds NZ Design Mobel.
