The building is now registered with the Historic Places Trust and houses a wide selection of shops and cafes on the lower level.

From here you can sail to the Hauraki Gulf Islands within 25-40 minutes, depending on your destination. The terminal is a short walk from the Britomart railway station and bus exchange. There are also Air Bus services operating transfers from Auckland Airport to Queens Wharf every 10 minutes.
