About Stanley Point
Stanley Point is a small peninsula suburb on Auckland’s North Shore — between Devonport Naval Base and the Stanley Bay foreshore. The suburb’s small size, peninsula geography and proximity to Devonport’s heritage character combine to make it one of Auckland’s most exclusive small residential addresses. Many properties carry substantial heritage values dating to early-20th-century Devonport development.
Walking Distance to Devonport
Stanley Point’s geographic position means residents are walking distance from the historic Devonport village — Victoria Road’s cafes, restaurants and the Devonport ferry terminal are all easy walks. The 12-minute ferry from Devonport to Britomart gives Stanley Point residents one of Auckland’s most pleasant inner-city commute options. The combination of village amenities plus ferry commute makes Stanley Point genuinely well-connected despite its small peninsula scale.
Stanley Bay Foreshore
The Stanley Bay foreshore on the western side of the peninsula gives sheltered inner-harbour swimming and harbour views back to the central city. The Stanley Bay Wharf and adjacent grass reserve give the peninsula direct harbour access. Combined with the Devonport heritage village immediately adjacent, the position is unusually rich in amenity for a small peninsula suburb.
