In a world where luxury often leans toward excess, the most meaningful stays unfold where design, service, and place converge in quiet harmony - offering more than a destination: a quietly transformative journey.
At Point Residence, housed within the award-winning The Point building in Auckland, this philosophy is not just a design principle - it is a way of life.
This is not simply luxury accommodation in Auckland - it is a rare opportunity to inhabit a private, design-led residence, where deeply personalised hospitality service meets award-winning architectural integrity and uninterrupted harbour and ocean views.
An Auckland Icon: The Point Building by Moller Architects
Overlooking Auckland's glamorous Viaduct Harbour and the shimmering Hauraki Gulf marine playground beyond, The Point is more than a residential building - it is a benchmark in New Zealand's luxury architectural history.
Designed by Moller Architects - also the visionaries behind Auckland's iconic Sky Tower - and completed in 2000, this landmark building stands as a defining statement of sustainable, Riviera-style, urban luxury living in New Zealand, earning the prestigious NZIA Enduring Architecture Award in 2025.
Deep verandas, adjustable cedar shutters, and a finely articulated steel, concrete, and timber structure create a symphony of light, shadow, privacy, and openness - a premium waterfront residence of enduring design excellence, anchored in place and purpose.
Here, the city meets the sea in a seamless sweep of superyachts, islands, and horizon -
a backdrop that is both dynamic and quietly harmonious, making it one of the most accessible and beautiful marine playgrounds in the world - an ever-changing canvas just beyond your doorstep.
Point Residence: Private, Rare, and Remarkable
Fondly known by locals as the “Jewel in the Crown of the Viaduct”, this architectural icon sets the stage for Point Residence. In Auckland, where you choose to stay defines how you experience the Harbour City, and Point Residence ensures it’s nothing short of extraordinary.
Point Residence is the ultimate luxury penthouse accommodation in Auckland - an exclusive sanctuary for high-net-worth (HNW) and ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) individuals, couples, and families seeking elevated leisure and business stays.
Here, guests inhabit a celebrated piece of New Zealand's architectural history, paired with deeply intuitive hospitality. For our guests, true luxury lies in the experience - one that resonates emotionally, aligns with who they are, how they travel, and what they value.
More than a private residence, it is the gateway to Auckland’s luxury experience, unlocking the city’s most exclusive and memorable experiences for those who stay here.
Conceived with the same rigour and restraint as the building itself, Point Residence's interiors are a study in spatial harmony, aesthetic grace, and natural materiality. Every detail is considered - from cinematic views of the Viaduct Marina and Waitematā Harbour framed by floor-to-ceiling glass, to the quiet tactility of oak, stone, soft textiles, and diffused natural light.
This is not a hotel - it is a fully managed, hospitality-led private residence, crafted for those who value privacy, character, subtlety, and service excellence beyond expectation - all anchored in a commitment to timeless, soulful design.
Our approach begins and ends with the guest experience - it informs every decision we make, shaping the way we design, host, and curate each stay. For us, hospitality isn’t an add-on -
it is the promise.
Whether you’re a Family Office Principal or Luxury Travel Planner seeking a discreet, secure retreat, a global executive blending business and leisure, a film production house in need of a refined home-away-from-home, or multi-generational families, couples, or solo travellers on an extended stay - Point Residence delivers with quiet confidence and subtle precision.
Tailored Together: Co-created Lifestyle, Leisure & Legacy Journeys
Beyond the residence, a world of rare and extraordinary experiences awaits, thoughtfully tailored by our boutique concierge service for guests who value depth, insider access, and a meaningful connection to people and place.
Set sail across the jewel-toned waters of the Hauraki Gulf on a private luxury yacht charter in Auckland, with a marine biologist on board to engage younger guests, anchoring at hidden white-sand coves for a champagne picnic and swim - or venturing to a remote, rugged black-sand beach.
Touch down by helicopter for a private vineyard lunch on Waiheke Island, personally hosted by the winemaker, where fine wine, contemporary art, and legacy converge in an unforgettable moment.
Savour Auckland’s most coveted, award-winning restaurants, or indulge in an intimate in-residence dining experience - a bespoke tasting menu, tailored to your palate and dietary preferences by one of New Zealand’s celebrated chefs.
Families and the curious at heart can discover restorative Maori cultural experiences in Auckland, visit working sheep, deer, and dairy farms, or enjoy private, behind-the-scenes conservation encounters with marine experts.
For those drawn to nature, guided or independent hikes and treks wind through lush native forests and sweeping coastal tracks, from the dormant volcanic ridges of Rangitoto to the windswept cliffs of Te Henga - each offering breathtaking vistas and unspoilt beauty. These meditative experiences are crafted not for pace, but for presence - a quiet reminder of nature's power and the understated luxury of simply being.
Keen golfers can tee off at world-class golf courses near Auckland - all set against spectacular natural backdrops - while heli-fishing in untouched coastal waters offers the thrill of the catch in splendid isolation.
And should your interests extend to luxury lifestyle property in New Zealand, waterfront property in Auckland, private schooling opportunities, or bespoke philanthropic experiences, our team can discreetly connect you to our trusted local network of advisors - because some journeys leave more than memories - they create a legacy.
Guest Voices
- A State of Being, Not Just a Stay
"Point Residence is not just a place to stay - it’s a state of being. From the moment we arrived, everything was considered - fresh flowers, delicious provisions, and hosts who anticipated our needs without ever being intrusive. This is what five-star hotels aspire to but rarely achieve - a personalised, quietly elegant experience that lingers long after you leave."
— A.K., Private Investor, Singapore, 2025
"We travelled as a family of five for our first summer holiday in Auckland, and Point Residence made all the difference. The apartment was breathtaking yet effortlessly functional - panoramic harbour views, beautiful light, and a layout that felt as if it was made for us. The kitchen was fully stocked with our favourites, the hosts had thought of every detail, and the private chef dinner was a highlight we’ll never forget. We watched fireworks from the terrace and felt at home in the most extraordinary way. This wasn’t just a stay, it was the highlight of our entire trip - and truly one of the best stays of our lives."
— J.S., Global Family Office Principal, Houston, 2025
- A Hospitality Standard That Redefines Luxury
"Every year, I return to Auckland, and Point Residence is the reason why. Even for short stays, the attention to detail is unmatched. From private drivers to last-minute reservations, the team handles everything with quiet confidence. The interiors are serene and beautifully designed, but it’s the hospitality - intuitive, generous, and deeply human - that truly sets this experience apart. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Auckland."
— R.M., UHNW Individual, Sydney, 2024
