The complex has a gym, indoor pool, sauna and spa.
Here are 3 things people love about our Secret Garden Apartment:
1 - The location is simply outstanding. Beaumont Quarter is located little more than a stone's throw away from the hustle and the 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, 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 - The green space outside of the apartment sets the tone for our apartment, separating you from the hustle and bustle of city life, and maximising your relaxation time despite the city proximity. Easy on the eye, and providing privacy, the garden adds a special touch to this urban space. The apartment has been recently renovated and is furnished to a very high standard with modern contemporary furniture and fittings. High ceilings and an abundance of natural light through the floor-to-ceiling ranch sliders make this a light and airy apartment.
3 - Guests frequently mention in reviews about how comfortable the Sleepmaker Posture Align bed is when combined with the high thread count sheets and the feather all-seasons duvet. Lisa from Mangawhai said "The beds were fantastic. Just bliss when you put your head on the pillow and snuggled in those luxurious linens. I have to say this because so often in NZ those that rent private accommodation do not make this a priority."
Here are 3 things to consider before renting our Secret Garden 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 - 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.
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.

Beaumont Quarter is a 258-unit residential project in central Auckland, designed for inhabitants who want to live in the city centre, without relying on the regular use of cars. In a country that is known for building only high-rise or low-rise, Beaumont Quarter has been recognised as a benchmark project for medium-density development, introducing a European design that gives priority to pedestrians with a dense network of pedestrian pathways and small squares.
The award-winning design is exceptional in both concept and execution. The complex is comprised of a series of unique buildings, each with an independent yet complimentary aesthetic, brought together with pedestrian friendly walkways and shared spaces. All homes are well-equipped with high-quality, contemporary fittings and furnishings and have a focus on spacious living areas. Building height has been regulated to maximise natural light. And many homes have their own outdoor areas like courtyards, rooftop patios or decks – some with stunning views of the city. Trees, gardens and green spaces make BQ a relaxing and refreshing place to come home to. Beaumont Quarter is inner-city living at its best.
Across the road is the beautiful tree-lined Victoria Park (with a family-friendly skatepark, basketball court and playground) and you’ll find a New World supermarket less than 100m down the road. Plus, you’re only a short stroll from the shopping, cafes, restaurants and bars of Ponsonby Road, Wynyard Quarter, City Works Depot and Victoria Park Market.
You’ll find there’s a friendly sense of community at BQ which residents are keen to protect and maintain. Noise levels are kept low, especially after 10 pm, and there is respect and consideration for other residents and the common spaces.
We've created a comprehensive online guidebook of local attractions that we will send you a link to after you book.
You must have at least one Airbnb profile photo that clearly shows your face, and you must have Airbnb verified Government ID.
Quiet time after 10 pm.
To reduce the amount of chemicals used, you must use the shower located within the recreation centre before using the swimming pool or spa. This is enforced using CCTV and will result in a $50 fine if violated. Please follow the other rules detailed on the recreation centre door.
You will be allocated a dedicated car park that you are welcome to use for your entire stay. Electric vehicle charging is not possible from this car park.
We also have visitor parking (for your visitors) that is only for use by visitors for 3 hours and this is enforced with clamping/towing 24/7. If your visitors need to stay longer, there is pay parking out on Beaumont St, which becomes free parking after 6 pm. If you need an extra car park let us know and we can try to sort out an extra car park for you.
If you are staying overnight, Beaumont Quarter considers you a resident and may only use the visitor parking for 10 minutes for pick ups / drop offs. We want to make sure your group have a good experience, and getting clamped/towed and then getting pinged $200 would probably ruin your day.
Please be aware that if you burn any food when cooking, do NOT open the front door out to the hallway to disperse the smoke. Instead, open the ranch slider and bedroom windows and the smoke should clear in a couple of minutes. If the smoke detector in the hallway is triggered, then the entire building alarm goes off, everyone in the building needs to evacuate, and three fire trucks are automatically sent out. Beaumont Quarter get charged for the fire trucks in the case of false alarms, and they pass this cost along (roughly $500).
For long-stay booking requests 27 nights or longer, we require that guests sign a standard "New Zealand Residential Tenancy Agreement". This gives you the same protections as other tenants in New Zealand, and helps keep our insurance company and accountant happy. After you have booked, we'll send you a link to a document that you can electronically sign.
The apartment complex management operates a CCTV surveillance system. Cameras record activity in common areas, including the roads, underground car parks and recreation centre.
