    Home-like feeling, Early check-in, Quiet location

    The overall vibe reminded me of my grandmother's house, complete with musty room smells!!! Furniture needs a refresh or an upgrade. WiFi issues drove me up the wall during my stay!!! The shower height was uncomfortable for taller guests!!!

    cozy kitchen
    sun loungers
    relaxing garden
    musty smell

    I really enjoyed my stay in the villa with the cozy kitchen and loved the complimentary drink from the fridge! The garden area was perfect for relaxing after a long day, and the sun loungers were a nice touch. Just a heads up, the rooms were a bit snug and I noticed a slight musty smell, but it didn't take away from my overall great experience! 😊

    Couple's cozy hideaway

    The staff were incredibly welcoming. upon arrival, Patrick gave us a tour of the place and made us feel like we belonged. Our room was spacious and had this amazing heated blanket that made our nights so much better.

    It wasn't exactly cheap but I guess you get what you pay for.

    delicious

    Just a well-suited match for a cursory stop in Auckland with extraordinarily good value for money. Breakfast was freshly prepared and absolutely delicious! Be aware of some noise from neighboring rooms.

    would stay here again

    Cozy room with comfy decor and helpful staff. Loved the freshly cooked breakfast with options like eggs Florentine. Enjoyed the welcome drink too! Place has a homely feel and is located on a quiet street but close to fun shops and restaurants. And the art displays around the hotel are really interesting.

    delicious breakfast
    cozy atmosphere
    limited playgrounds

    We had a fantastic stay at this lovely hotel. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our large family and service dog. Breakfast was a true highlight, with delicious options just like in the good old B&B days. Plus, the nearby Ponsonby area had vibrant restaurants and shops to explore.

    In my kids’ opinion, they wished there were more playgrounds nearby.
