The Ascot Parnell will always bring to mind one of my most memorable experiences visiting New Zealand. The hosts Bart and Therese reflected the gracious and welcoming spirit I encountered from the New Zealand people. We were pampered in a very private, elegant, respectful and select environment. From the meet and greet (pickup if required at the airport) to the... More

We could not have had a better stay! Bart and Therese are perfect innkeepers. They looked after all our needs and provided us with a base in Auckland that really felt like home. The Parnell location worked out great, with restaurants, shops, pubs, and banks all within easy walking distance. And did we mention the breakfasts? Custom-cooked exactly to order!... More

We deliberated whether to stay in Parnell and were so glad we did. It is a lovely area of Auckland with pleasant walks through parks or down to the beach, and not VERY far to walk into town (The PM has a house here!) We were thrilled we chose this B and B. It is light, airy, spacious, with welcoming... More

Bart & Therese make you feel so welcomed in their home. Bart picked us up at the dock when we got off our cruise ship. We were unable to stay our first night with them because they had a full house. He took us to their B&B, introduced us to Therese and stored our luggage for us (coming from a... More

The room (we had splashed out on the Bay View room ) was beautiful - spacious, well-appointed with lovely triple aspect views.
