For me breakfast is the best time of the day and the Great Ponsonby Arthotel lived up to its reputation. We stayed five days and every day I had a different cooked brekkie although I might have had smoked salmon more than once as it was so good. When we travel we tend to stay at places where we can...

Where do I begin? From the moment we arrived we felt as if anything we needed was right at our disposal. The rooms were well appointed, beds comfortable, meals excellent and the hosts were extremely knowledgeable about the best way to see the sites around Auckland.

Your hospitality, location, staff, rooms and food were all wonderful. More
