Step into a story that began in 1948. The Romano, once the bustling headquarters of Gordon & Gotch, New Zealand’s largest newspaper distributor, has been reimagined for modern living while retaining its historic charm.
Fast forward to 2018, when a husband and wife property team, saw the potential others couldn’t. With a decade of expertise in creating successful Airbnbs and the help of Creative Arch architects, they transformed part of this character-filled building into something extraordinary: two architecturally designed apartments, each offering approx 110m² of modern sophistication and functionality catering to the short-term stay market.
Here’s what makes these apartments truly special:
Proven Success:
These units generated an impressive income of $370,410 + GST in the last income tax year.
Architectural Elegance:
Every detail exudes refined craftsmanship, from the elegant cedar timber accents and soaring high-stud ceilings to the sophisticated lighting and bespoke bathrooms and kitchens.
Modern Comforts:
Ducted air conditioning, underfloor heating, and electronic access control ensure that these apartments offer not just style but also the comfort and convenience of modern living.
Space to Impress:
Each unit boasts 4 beautifully crafted rooms (2 Flexi) and 2 bathrooms, thoughtfully designed to cater to groups, families, or travelers seeking a unique stay.
Versatility Like No Other:
A shared balcony with a clever planter box partition lets you combine both units into a single space, accommodating up to 16 guests—a feature perfect for large bookings and unmatched by traditional hotels.
Tandem Car Parks:
Each apartment comes with its own secure tandem car park, a rarity in Auckland’s CBD.
But this isn’t just about two apartments. It’s about location and vision. Set in the vibrant Anzac street, you’re minutes away from Britomart’s dining and shopping, Spark Arena’s world-class events, and all the excitement Auckland has to offer.
