Police received multiple calls after a gun was fired at the property on Kildare View in Waikiwi about 11pm.
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Greg Baird said no one was injured.
"However, we know this kind of incident is very unsettling and concerning for our community," Baird said.
"We want to reassure our local residents that the address involved does appear to have been specifically targeted. There is not believed to be any risk to the wider public."
Witnesses have reported seeing an older, four-door vehicle leaving the area in a northerly direction shortly after the shots were heard.
Police asked for any further sightings of a vehicle matching that description in the area late last night or for anyone with information to contact them or Crimestoppers.
Police are investigating possible links to a vehicle fire that occurred around the same time near Mabel Bush Hall on Mill Rd North.
Scene examinations were under way at both locations, they said.
