location
Situated above Devonport, the apartment is only a 10-15 minute stroll from the heart of the village and the ferry terminal for regular services to the city. In the other direction is Cheltenham beach, one of the best in Auckland and again within easy distance.
The property is actually below extinct volcano 'Mt Victoria', which you can walk up and take in the 360 degree view of Auckland and the Waitemata harbour and its islands.
From Devonport you can catch one of the regular ferries for the ten minute ride to the city, or catch one of the harbour services to any of the many islands or pause a while and shop, enjoy a movie, meal or leisurely drink in one of the many bars or restaurants.
