The messaging is clear to anyone that has viewed, admired or envisaged themselves living at Hobsonville’s exclusive Jimmy’s Point – get in quick, as only a small handful of the 30 luxury two and three-bedroom residences remain for sale.
The brand-new waterfront apartment complex is the eighth project developed by Winton at Launch Bay, says Duncan Elley, general manager of project delivery.
“It’s the last residential project that we’re doing in the precinct and we really have saved the best for last, in terms of the quality, the specifications and the absolute waterfront location. We’re down to the final few, which is great, so it’s your last chance to own one of these fantastic apartments.”
The spacious homes, including the three-bedroom penthouse with 270-degree views and ground floor apartment with extensive decking, garden and water views, showcase a timeless, relaxed coastal aesthetic, with a palette of high-quality materials – stone, timber and terracotta – curated to reflect the surrounding environment.

The living areas are balanced and connected, offering the ideal dimensions for living and entertaining, plus the three-bedroom homes come with a flexi space that can be a media room or study. Each apartment also comes with a minimum of one carpark.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors frame expansive views of the Waitemata Harbour and capture all-day sun, which Elley says have been a major talking point.
“The landscape is ever-changing – there are rowers on the water, people taking their boats out and amazing birdlife. We get great comments around people just sitting there taking in the vistas.”
For anyone considering the move, insight is available direct from the source – the residents who are already firmly ensconced in their new homes.
“The people that live at Jimmy’s Point are our biggest advocates. They’ve given us really positive feedback which is very satisfying. One resident has said ‘it’s like living in a five-star resort,’ while another has said, ‘the apartments are so well structured, we never hear anyone else’.”
Elley says they’re mostly downsizers looking for more freedom, flexibility and convenience in their lives.

“They’ve sold up the family home and the kids have moved out, so they’re looking for something that’s got great space and lovely views, but requires less maintenance and provides relief from looking after big gardens. They’re able to focus on the things they love doing.”
Residents at Jimmy’s Point are an easy stroll from everything that makes Hobsonville Point so special. The CBD ferry makes commuting or popping to town for dinner easy and Catalina Bay’s popular Farmers Market, eateries and bars provide excellent options for lunching, brunching and catching up with friends.
The local area also offers schools for all ages, supermarkets and medical services, as well as spectacular coastal walkways, parks and playgrounds.
“The beauty of Jimmy’s Point is that you’re slightly removed from the hubbub of Catalina Bay, so it’s nice and quiet. Residents say it’s the best of both worlds, in terms of being connected but also very private.
“The other great thing about Jimmy’s is that they’ve got the expansive lawned oval outside. A few residents have said it’s fantastic when the grandkids come over, they can go and kick a ball out there or picnic without any worries about traffic.”
Bayleys salesperson Kirsten Bishop says it’s all about lifestyle, community and connection.
“The people who have bought in there are absolutely loving it – they’ve formed a really great community and you can be as involved as much or as little as you like. They’re all pretty like-minded and have a get-together on the last Sunday of every month.”

The ease of living has been another huge drawcard.
“It’s the perfect low maintenance, lock up and leave for when you want to travel and still be active. When you come home after being away there’s absolutely nothing to do but unpack.”
Bishop says that although downsizing can feel overwhelming, once you get through the other side, “people have said it’s the best thing they ever did”.
“The building is pet friendly, subject to body corp approval, so you can bring your pets with you. It’s very inclusive, making sure that people can get on and enjoy their lives.”
She implores interested buyers to take action.
“We’ve had several settle in the last few weeks and I don’t think people realise how many have actually sold in there – very shortly, they’re going to miss out. If you’ve been through before and liked what you saw, time is of the essence.”
The two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-carpark apartments are priced from $1.225 million; also available are three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-carpark apartments.
