Nestled in the heart of Auckland, our property on Rockfield Road offers guests a unique blend of serene residential comfort and easy access to the city's vibrant life. Greenlane is renowned for its leafy streets, beautiful parks, and a friendly community vibe, making it an ideal base for both relaxation and exploration. Whether you're in town for business, pleasure, or a bit of both, you'll find our neighborhood to be perfectly positioned to offer you the best of Auckland.

Just a stone's throw away from our doorstep, Cornwall Park and the adjacent One Tree Hill Domain provide a sprawling green oasis in the city. These spots are perfect for morning jogs, leisurely walks, or picnics with a view of the city skyline and the iconic One Tree Hill obelisk. Additionally, the area boasts a variety of cafes and restaurants, offering tastes from around the globe. Whether you're craving a classic New Zealand brunch or exotic international cuisine, you're sure to find something to satisfy your appetite.

For guests looking to dive into Auckland's cultural scene or needing to navigate the city for work, our location offers unparalleled convenience. Public transport links are readily available, with the Greenlane train station providing swift access to the Auckland CBD, where you can explore the waterfront, visit the Sky Tower, or enjoy shopping and entertainment at the Commercial Bay precinct. Furthermore, being close to the Southern Motorway makes trips to other parts of Auckland or out-of-town excursions to places like the stunning beaches of the Coromandel Peninsula both easy and accessible.

Getting Around:
Our property is conveniently located for guests looking to explore Auckland and its surroundings. Whether you prefer public transport, driving, or even cycling, you'll find getting around a breeze from our central location.

Public Transport: Greenlane is well-serviced by Auckland's public transport network, making it easy and convenient to get around without a car. The Greenlane train station, just a short walk from our door, connects you directly to the Auckland CBD within 15 minutes, offering a stress-free way to explore the city's attractions. Additionally, several bus routes run through Greenlane, providing efficient access to other parts of Auckland, including shopping districts, beaches, and parks.

Train Tips: When using the train, consider purchasing an AT HOP card. This reusable prepay smart card for travel on trains, buses, and ferries around Auckland can save you money on fares compared to buying single-trip tickets. The AT HOP cards are available at selected retailers and transport centers.

Driving: For guests who prefer the flexibility of driving, our property offers convenient access to the Southern Motorway (State Highway 1), making it easy to venture further afield or explore local attractions. We also have room for up to 3 cars to park right in front of the home, off-street if you are bringing your own vehicles.

Taxis and Ride-Sharing: Taxis and ride-sharing services like Uber are readily available in Auckland, offering a convenient option for direct travel to your destination. These services can be especially useful for airport transfers or late-night returns after a day out exploring. From the airport its around $25 and 20 minutes during off peak times via RideShare.

Cycling: For the active traveler, Auckland is increasingly becoming bike-friendly, with dedicated cycle paths and lanes. While Greenlane itself has limited cycle lanes, nearby Cornwall Park offers beautiful paths perfect for a leisurely bike ride. Bike rentals are available in the city if you're interested in exploring on two wheels.

Local Tips: For the latest information on public transport routes, timetables, and fare prices, the Auckland Transport website or the AT Mobile app are invaluable resources. They can help you plan your journey and ensure you make the most of what Auckland has to offer.
