Neighborhood

This spot? Prime city living at its finest! Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street, you're right next door to the iconic Auckland Art Gallery and directly facing the lush vibes of Albert Park—talk about a dream location! 🌳✨ All of Auckland’s must-see attractions and hotspots are just a stone’s throw away. Fancy hitting the Sky Tower or trying your luck at the casino? You’re only a 5-10 minute stroll from all the action. You’re literally in the heartbeat of the city!

Guest Access

This space is all yours! 🌟 You’ll have the whole place to yourself, plus access to all the building’s amenities. Just a heads-up: there’s a small set of five stairs to get to the apartment, but once you’re in, it’s all smooth and level inside.

Good to know

Welcome to the ultimate retro haven—a quirky gem, packed with serious character vibes! Exposed brick, vintage sash windows and funky ‘70s chic decor. Offered by 'Hipstay Auckland' and run by a true-blue, born-and-raised Aucklander (that’s me!), you’ll get my insider guide to the coolest spots around Auckland—no tourist traps here, just local love! The super cosy bedroom is tucked away in the quietest nook of the apartment with a comfy double bed. It’s your chill zone, far from the street buzz, perfect for catching those zzz’s. The full kitchen oozes rustic charm and is kitted out with all the appliances you need. Time to channel your inner chef and whip up some gourmet goodies! The bathroom has a spacious shower with steaming hot water, killer water pressure, and a choice between a massage shower head or a rain shower—whichever suits your vibe. Oh, and did I mention the LED lights that can switch to any colour you want? Yeah, it’s a vibe. Guests absolutely love: 1) The retro décor that’s full of soul. 2) Our location (right in the heart of the trendiest hood, steps from the best bars, cafés, and eats). 3) The beautiful park right across the road, perfect for a morning coffee stroll. Two things to keep in mind: 1) It can get a little lively on the weekends (that’s part of the fun, right?). 2) No aircon, but we’ve got a fan to keep you cool. This pad is so retro-cool, you’ll be dusting off your bell-bottoms and spinning vinyl like it’s 1975. Come for the nostalgia, stay for the vibes! 🎶✨ This spot? Prime city living at its finest!

Other Details to Note

Just a friendly reminder: you’re staying in a house, not a hotel, so let’s keep the good vibes rolling by treating the space with respect. If anything comes up, we’ll jump on it ASAP, but keep in mind there isn’t anyone on-site 24/7. Thanks for being awesome!

Um portal para o paraíso Que experiência incrível! Eu estava hospedada antes em um hotel a poucos quarteirões dali com vista para enormes prédios e chegar nesse Airbnb foi como adentrar num portal. De repente parecia que eu não estava mais no centro da cidade! A vista para o verde do parque faz toda a diferença. Apartamento impecável, com detalhes que você se perde observando, cama super confortável, chuveiro maravilhoso, cozinha completa - o único problema é que você não tem vontade de sair de casa e quer só ficar curtindo cada cantinho! A caminhada matinal no parque para colher folhas secas e fazer arranjos de flores foi uma das minhas maiores diversões. Nem lembrei de ligar a televisão! Que apartamento incrível e aconchegante, me senti tão em casa que queria morar lá. E Hannah, uma host estrela Michelin, deixando todas as explicações claras sobre como tudo funciona e dicas incríveis de como aproveitar a cidade. A melhor host que já tive por aqui. Já quero voltar! 🩵

This apartment was a beautiful place to stay! Very convenient location for me as an Auckland Uni student, and extremely walkable for the city. Felt very comfortable in this beautifully decorated space, and would happily stay again :)

Great stay at this apartment, very convenient location and I really enjoyed the mood lighting for the evenings! Was a little bit of noise on Friday night - to be expected being in a low apartment in the city - but with the supplied ear plugs and comfy bed I didn't have a problem. Working from this apartment was easy as well - the table extends for more space. Highly recommend and I will likely be looking to stay here on future trips.

We had a fantastic stay – the house had such a great atmosphere and really felt like home. We appreciated the updated door code just before arrival, which made us feel safe and well looked after. The cosy touches like lamps, string lights, a bedroom light projector, and even the cool LED in the bathroom made it feel really special. The bed was super comfortable, the location was perfect, and night parking in the nearby carpark made everything super convenient. Would definitely stay again!

Absolutely brilliant little place, super cozy and comfy, an amazing shower and kitchen, perfect for us in every way, and really really good price. Hannah was an amazing and super helpful host. Perfect distance to town and local places to visit and sky tower where tours often pick up from! Highly recommended and if we're ever back in Auckland will be staying here again!!!

Hannah place was extremely welcoming and cozy. It’s exactly what was needed after traveling for work and staying in hotels for over a month. Sometimes you just need a place that feels like home to unwind in, and that’s exactly what I found here! Thank you, Hannah!

The apartment is truly a hidden gem. Even from the photos, you can see the care and attention to detail that Hannah puts into every aspect of the space. The apartment is fully equipped with everything you might need: the kitchen has all the essential utensils for cooking, plus a lovely selection of teas and infusions that we really appreciated. The bedroom is well-stocked with linens and a variety of pillows to choose from, while the bathroom comes with towels, a hairdryer, and even a hair straightener. Hannah also provided us with a personalized guide with all the necessary information for accessing the apartment, along with helpful tips on getting there from the airport, where to eat, and what to see in the area. The location is fantastic—right in the heart of the city—making it easy for us to walk everywhere, including to the bus for our tour and the airport shuttle. We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back!

We stayed here almost 6 weeks and had a wonderful time! The apartment is wonderfully located, well decorated and had everything we needed to make ourselves feel at home. We only had two small issues during our stay and the host responded quickly and fixed both immediately, which we really appreciated. The ceiling leaked a little bit while we were there and Hannah was quick to have it fixed so it wasn’t a big deal. And as other reviews have mentioned, there is a nearby club that plays loud music, which we did hear in the apartment one night, but we mentioned it to the host who spoke to the club owner and we never heard music that loud again. We were also prepared for this possibility based on other reviews and the host kindly provided ear plugs and a white noise machine so we were able to fall asleep regardless. We had a fantastic time in this apartment and would happily stay here again!

A truly wonderful place to stay right in the centre of Auckland CBD. Lots of great cafes around. The park is close by too, which was great. Such a walkable location. The apartment itself is beautiful and clean. It has everything you could need. Would definitely recommend!

Hannah’s place is a wonderful spot. The location is ideal. Close to so many things, we mostly walked or rented scooters. The apartment is clean and has everything we needed for our 3 day stay in Auckland. I loved the welcome video that helped us recognized and familiarize us with the location and check in. Thank you for hosting!
