Offering the convenience of apartment-style living in a central CBD location, Quest Auckland provides fully equipped studios and one-bedroom apartments ideal for longer stays. The modern building features a gym, laundry facilities, and is close to all major attractions.
Quest Auckland Serviced Apartments occupies a modern building on Custom Street East in the eastern CBD, within the Britomart precinct — one of Auckland's most refined urban districts, known for its heritage railway station conversion, boutique restaurants, and fashion retailers. The Auckland Ferry Terminal, offering Waiheke Island and Devonport crossings, is a five-minute walk north along the waterfront. Britomart train station, the city's main rail terminus, is directly adjacent — making this one of the best-connected CBD locations in Auckland for guests without a car.
Quest Auckland offers fully self-contained studio and one-bedroom apartment configurations, each equipped with a kitchen including stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge-freezer; a living area separate from the bedroom in one-bedroom units; a private bathroom; and in-unit laundry facilities. The apartments are designed for the extended-stay corporate traveller and visiting professional rather than the short-break leisure market, which means room standards are utilitarian and well-maintained. Free Wi-Fi, a fitness centre, and 24-hour reception are standard. Underground parking is available at an additional charge.
The Quest brand is a major New Zealand and Australian serviced apartment operator and ensures consistent management quality across its properties. The Britomart location is a genuine differentiator: highly regarded restaurants and cafés occupy the surrounding blocks, and the ferry terminal proximity makes Waiheke Island day trips straightforward for leisure guests. Corporate guests attending meetings in the CBD financial and legal district — a 10-minute walk west — will find the apartments more cost-effective than equivalent hotel rooms for stays of three nights or longer, given the self-catering capability and in-unit laundry.

Tips for visiting
- Book a one-bedroom apartment rather than a studio for stays of three nights or more — the separate living area and in-unit laundry make a material difference in comfort
- The Britomart precinct's supermarket is nearby for self-catering groceries; cooking in the apartment is significantly cheaper than eating out in this part of the CBD each night
- Waiheke Island ferry is a 5-minute walk from the apartments; bring a packed picnic from Britomart's delis and markets for a low-cost island day
- Underground car parking is available at an additional charge — book it at the same time as your apartment reservation as capacity is limited
- Ask reception about the current rail connection to the airport; the routing requires a bus interchange at Puhinui station, so allow 90 minutes to be safe
