About this property

Million Dollar View!

Fall in love with Auckland 'the city of sails!' We're near downtown Auckland and the gorgeous cafe soaked 'Viaduct Harbour'. Our tastefully decorated home is light, airy and fresh with unimpeded amazing views of the harbour - it's sensational!
Please note that due to a change in NZ law, our house has had to be re-listed on VRBO in 2024, as a new listing. Our previous listing had received 124 excellent reviews! We know you'll love your stay here!

Our house is a traditional bungalow. We have tastefully renovated it and split it into two completely separate units. This unit faces the sea, and all day sun floods into the living area through the french doors, that lead onto our deck. The deck faces the sea and we spend countless hours sitting on the deck watching the yachts in the harbour racing, or having a BBQ with friends in the evening and looking at the lights of the harbour bridge, the boats and the city.
There is a lawn area in front of the deck, and free car parking is available in our driveway (not common in this area).A great suburb to walk around Freemans Bay, Ponsonby, and St Marys Bay. You can walk along the boardwalk by the Westhaven Marina and stroll to the cafes underneath the Harbour Bridge or over to the amazing Viaduct Harbour, with all its cafes and restaurants.

We're about a 15 minute walk down to the local supermarket at Freemans Bay. It has everything you need from wine to fruit and vege and everything in between for your self-catering stay.

✦Things To Do✦

Visit the Auckland Art Gallery to see a full survey of Maori, Pacific, and Europan Art from pre-contact until the 21st century. There are paintings, sculptures, and multi-media art. This venue is also child friendly with an interactive children's area.

Go up the Sky Tower to get the best panoramic views of Auckland and the Hauraki Gulf. Go on a clear fine day to get the best of your admission. You can also go to the Revolving Restaurant for a meal or coffee. Check the website for details.

Visit the Auckland Museum to see the history of the flora, fauna, and culture of Aotearoa/New Zealand. See the finest collection of Maori Artifacts and textiles. There is a great interactive kids section and a newly installed T-Rex to visit! Enjoy the Auckland Domain and Winter Gardens outside.

Take a cruise on the harbour, or take a ferry to one of the Gulf Islands like Waiheke Island or Rangitoto Island. You can take the ferry from the Princess Wharf ferry terminal to most parts of Auckland. Try the day trip to Titirtiri Martangi Island to see the best display of endangered native birds.

Lovely place to stay
Our party of 6 had a really good time staying at this lovely, well kept property. Great location with easy drive into Nelson and down to the beach. Main living area and deck are fantastic - views are amazing, and the garden was very pretty. Property was well presented, very clean and tidy. The only drawback for us was that the fourth bedroom, which is downstairs, is unlike what is shown in the photo on the listing, with it instead being a foldaway / pull down bed with no wardrobe and drawers in the room for clothes. We would definitely return to this property for future holidays in Nelson.

We celebrated a significant birthday in Nelson with our children and new grandchild. The house is large enough to have 3 couples and a baby. We enjoyed the fabulous views, the large deck, and the spa pool. Special family memories made.

Great views and location
The view from this property is amazing. The house has some great features but the kitchen is 1990s Provence blue and small by todays standards, it is well equipped. We had some issues with mixer taps in 2 of the 3 showers, the owner was straight on to the problem however because of availability of plumber and weekend we didn't get the benefit of the fixed shower issue. Also a small communication issue re checking in which wouldn't have been a problem if it wasn't 30 degrees heat and my elderly mother was needing to rest. Personally a King size bed would be good in the Master bedroom, its a HUGE bedroom and it would just take it to next level. I would recommend this property we had a great time.

Stunning view and great location
A lovely place to stay - the views are amazing, there is always something to watch. A ten minute walk down the hill and we could swim, or visit the local cafes or bars, or a walk further up the hill provided views across the city. Thank you for sharing your home.

Great Bach
It’s a great Bach with plenty of space. Views out to the Abel Tasman. The main bedroom is large with awesome views. The other 2 bedrooms are much smaller. Home from home comfort. Not too far from town if you are fit.

We stayed at Selah three years ago and wanted to stay there again. Beautiful views over the Bay: handy to town and to Richmond/Stoke, with a short walk to Tahunanui Beach. Spacious, warm and clean, just the thing for a mid Winter break.

A gorgeous family home with a lot of rules
This property is very well maintained and the view is to die for. We specifically booked to enjoy the spa pool with a view and it did not disappoint. This is clearly a well loved family home and if deciding to rent you should be aware that the owners have more rules than I've ever seen before at a rental. None are unreasonable, but there are various signs around the home telling you all the things you shouldn't do - there are so many that it became a running joke for our family while we were there. For the amount of money this rental costs it seems like the owners should be able to come up with a better way to get their washing done so that getting it started before you leave isn't a requirement (and they ask you to do this many times, and send an email reminder on your check out day). We've stayed at all sorts of holiday rentals and have never seen this asked before. Unreasonable? No. Annoying? After the many asks, very much. If I'm paying a cleaning fee, I shouldn't have to 'assist your cleaners' any more than leaving the place as I found it. This felt more like something you'd do if you were staying at friend's home for free, rather than an upscale rental. We also found the key box outside really difficult to open and close - perhaps time to replace it. Were these annoyances worth it for the view? Probably!
