This apartment is located in the brand new Grace Apartments and has a sunny open plan kitchen & living area, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and car park with convenient lift access to your door.
Here are 3 things people love about our apartment:
1. The views. From the apartment you'll look west and have views of Western Park, Victoria Park, and the tree lined suburb of Freemans Bay. The shared rooftop space has expansive views of the harbour and the city.
2. The location is simply outstanding. Grace Victoria Quarter is located little more than a stone's throw away from the hustle and the bustle of the central city. You have cafes and restaurants on your doorstep, and it's just a short 5-15 minute walk to Wynyard Quarter, Ponsonby and much of the CBD.
3. High ceilings and an abundance of natural light through the west-facing floor-to-ceiling ranch sliders make this a light and airy, spacious apartment. Guests frequently mention the beautiful views.
Here are 3 things to consider before renting our apartment:
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. The apartment building is located near the motorway. Despite double glazing, you'll still hear the gentle hum of the traffic in the master bedroom. This noise hasn't been a problem for most of our guests, however if you are a light sleeper, perhaps this apartment won't be the best choice for you. We provide complimentary 3M E-A-R Classic ear plugs (Noise Reduction Rating of 29 dB).
3. Even though private and elevated, the apartment is located in a central city neighbourhood, so you will be surrounded by buildings and 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. 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.
