QV Stays Viaduct Studio

A beautifully presented studio inside 30 Madden — one of Auckland’s most celebrated new waterfront developments, designed by Studio Pacific Architecture with a 7-Star Homestar sustainability rating. Private balcony, engineered stone benchtops, European appliances, and access to a stunning native courtyard garden with over 7,000 plants. North Wharf dining, Silo Park, and the Viaduct are minutes away. A genuinely well-designed Wynyard Quarter base. Some buildings are simply background to a stay. 30 Madden is not one of them. Designed by award-winning Studio Pacific Architecture and developed by Willis Bond, this seven-storey Wynyard Quarter landmark won the Best Design Awards Gold Pin for Residential Architecture and the Property Council NZ Excellence Award in 2022 — and staying inside it feels exactly like that pedigree would suggest. This studio captures the building’s considered design language in miniature: clean lines, recessed lighting, generous built-in storage, and a private balcony that makes the most of Wynyard Quarter’s light and sea breeze. The open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area is smartly laid out, with an engineered stone benchtop, quality European appliances, and a thoughtful use of space that makes the studio live larger than its footprint. The balcony — a genuine feature of every apartment in this building, not an afterthought — looks out over the bustling laneways and public art of Wynyard Quarter, giving you a front-row seat to one of Auckland’s most vibrant new neighbourhoods. What sets 30 Madden apart from almost anywhere else to stay in Auckland is its commitment to sustainable, considered living. Every residence is certified 7-Star Homestar — New Zealand’s highest sustainability rating — meaning excellent insulation, passive solar design, and genuine year-round comfort regardless of the weather outside. As a guest, you’ll also have access to the building’s beautiful elevated courtyard, planted in collaboration with local mana whenua and home to over 7,000 native plants — a genuine garden sanctuary in the middle of the city, and a world away from the usual concrete forecourt of an inner-city apartment block. The entire studio is yours — bedroom area, bathroom, kitchen, living space, and private balcony. Guests also have access to the building’s native garden courtyard, a peaceful shared space within the development. Access is via key safe or electronic entry — full instructions will be sent the day before your arrival. Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Full instructions and access codes will be sent the day before your arrival. A private airport transfer can be arranged at additional cost with at least 48 hours notice. While we will leave you in peace to enjoy your time in Auckland, we are available 24 hours a day for an emergency. For those non-urgent like-to-haves, just give us a call or a quick message and we will do everything we can to make this your most memorable trip to Auckland yet. 30 Madden sits at the heart of Wynyard Quarter — one of the most successful urban regenerations in the Southern Hemisphere, transformed from a working industrial waterfront into one of Auckland’s most loved neighbourhoods. The North Wharf dining precinct is right on your doorstep: Baduzzi, Hello Beasty, Giraffe, and a wonderful selection of bars and wine rooms make this one of the city’s best places for an evening out. Silo Park, with its outdoor cinema, weekend markets, and public art, is a short stroll, as is the Auckland Fish Market for the freshest possible seafood. The Viaduct Harbour’s celebrated restaurant and bar strip is an easy walk east, connecting through to Commercial Bay and Britomart’s laneway dining and boutique shopping. The Auckland Ferry Terminal is nearby for Waiheke Island, Devonport, and Hauraki Gulf services, and the CBD’s Queen Street and Sky Tower are within comfortable walking distance. Auckland is easily explored from Wynyard Quarter. The Inner Link and Outer Link buses connect the central suburbs frequently throughout the day. Britomart Transport Centre is an easy walk with full train network connections. The Auckland Ferry Terminal is nearby for Waiheke Island and harbour services. Uber and taxis are available throughout the precinct at all hours. Auckland Airport is approximately 30 to 40 minutes by car or shuttle. The native courtyard garden is one of the building’s genuine highlights — well worth a few minutes’ wander during your stay, particularly in the early morning or evening when it’s at its most peaceful. The studio’s 7-Star Homestar credentials mean excellent thermal comfort and acoustic insulation year-round. This is a non-smoking, no-vaping property throughout. No parties or events. Quiet hours from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. Checkout is by 10:00 AM.
