Wynyard Quarter Two-Bedroom with Harbour and City Views

The apartment sits on the third level of one of Wynyard Quarter's more considered buildings, on the corner of Halsey and Madden Streets, looking out over the water in two directions. It was designed for the way people actually live in a space like this: open enough to host, separate enough to retreat.

The living room runs into the kitchen and out onto the west balcony, where the harbour and Harbour Bridge sit directly in front of you. Full-length windows pull the light deep into the room, the kitchen is fully equipped with current appliances, and a separate dining area means a proper sit-down dinner doesn't compete with the lounging end of the room. Cross the apartment and the east balcony opens onto the city, a second outdoor space that catches the morning sun and the evening glow off the surrounding buildings.

Both bedrooms are generous and each has its own bathroom. The master sits at the front of the apartment with an expansive walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite that holds its own against the rest of the finish. The second bedroom is positioned for guests or family travelling with you, with privacy and its own bathroom across the hall.

The building itself is part of what makes the stay. The gym is genuinely well equipped, the theatrette and conference room are available to residents and guests, and a 24/7 concierge is on the ground floor whenever you need them. The building is sustainably designed throughout, double glazed and well insulated, which you notice in the quiet and the temperature more than anywhere else.

We love the moment the setting sun hits the city. From the west balcony you watch the last of the day drop behind the Harbour Bridge and the whole skyline lights up. Cross to the east balcony and the same sunset is reflected back off all the glass city buildings, a long orange glow that fades as the city lights take over. It's pure magic and it happens right in front of you every evening.
