315/35 Hobson Street Auckland Central, Auckland City

Marie Kondo, the diminutive Japanese organising consultant and creator of the konmari decluttering trend, would surely give this high-quality furnished apartment in the former Farmers Department store two very perky thumbs up. A renaissance of this iconic landmark took place in 1998 when the building became Heritage Auckland and a star was born in the CBD of the "geographically blessed" City of Sails. Who could resist the opportunity to live within a thriving social scene offering a myriad of dining, watering holes, live music gigs and cultural venues? Catering for cosmopolitan urbanites who have pared back their life to a simple, stylish, sophistication, this rarely available, spaciously appointed studio apartment has recently been plucked from the hotel pool, giving you the best of both worlds. And here's why that's going to work so well for you: rent it out yourself for long or short term passive income, Airbnb, or live here and savour the stunning harbour views from the rooftop terrace and pool area shared with your city-dwelling neighbours. Yes, although autonomously managed by you, you can still take advantage of the world-class facilities including the acclaimed on-site vegan-certified Hectors Restaurant, the Lobby Bar, gymnasium, and even tennis court. Put on your activewear and head to the Wynyard Quarter just minutes away for a Saturday morning run, stroll to the Viaduct on date night, and Queen Street commercial business centre and shopping precinct is close too. Dare we mention it, but the All Blacks make this their base when they are in town so there's additional cachet in owning this high-quality piece of Auckland's celebrated history.
