Location
St Mary's Bay is one of Auckland’s most historic suburbs with an amazing collection of heritage architecture. Among these historic buildings are St Mary’s chapel, the Leys Institute and the Ponsonby Post Office (now Augustus Bistro) – but there are beautiful hundred-year-old houses on almost every street.
Today, Saint Mary’s Bay is one of Auckland’s more exclusive suburbs, with picturesque streets, luxury homes and incredible water views.
St Mary’s Bay stretches out to an iconic peninsula which features Point Erin Pools, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, the Auckland Harbour Bridge and Westhaven Marina.
