 The St Mary’s Residence manifests as an example of the diverse cultural and modernist trends that have embraced the fast growing city of Auckland since the turn of the century.

These popular areas full of refurbished colonial villas, afford  easy access to the city with its international shopping and hotels.Highlights are the attractive harbour – side Viaduct restaurant area and the classy shops and restaurants  of Newmarket and Parnell to the east.Then there is   the eclectic mix of all things cool that is nearby Ponsonby. Just 4o minutes from the airport, St Mary’s Bay is central to all there is to do in Auckland.

St Mary’s Residence is perched just  above Westhaven, an exclusive  boat harbour full of nicely presented  yachts aching to set forth out into the hobby sailor’s dream which is the island dotted  Hauraki Gulf. Take a cruise on a full service yacht or regular ferry to Waiheke  and visit some of that beach-ringed islet’s many famous vineyards, exclusive restaurants  and perfect beaches. Drive 30 minutes west to the well-trailed walks through the sub-tropical forests of the Waitakere ranges and see the black sand beaches, spectacular cliffs and twisted rock formations sculptured by the blustering  winds and wild surf of the Tasman sea. Try any number of day trips under the expert guidance  of St Mary’s staff driver and car provided as part of the Residence’s service.
