Auckland City Accommodation
Offering Comfort, Connection and Convenience.
Auckland City, particularly the vibrant Viaduct Harbour, is a popular place to stay for travellers arriving in New Zealand via Auckland International Airport.
It’s also the main jump-off point for the ferry to Waiheke Island, making it a convenient and scenic place to settle if you’re planning on travelling around the north island before/after the wedding.
What is the Viaduct Harbour?
Viaduct Harbour is a lively waterfront district in the heart of Auckland CBD, just a 5-minute walk from the main ferry terminal.
It’s known for its modern restaurants, harbour views, sleek hotels, and buzzing nightlife — all set against a backdrop of luxury yachts.
If you’re staying in Auckland, we recommend booking around this area.
