We had our son's and his new brides wedding at Cotter House and we have nothing but high praise for the location, the venue and the host. It is a magnificent venue for such a special occasion. We booked the venue for three days and not only had the ceremony there but also guests from overseas as well as the...

I would not recommend Cotter House. The property is something which would look wonderful in a movie, but is chaotic, untidy, unclean in some places and impractical. It is over-priced. The service and attention is superficial and poor in comparison to other accommodation choices. The cooking however is very good, but if you want old world charm and luxury in...

Thank you for your review. Much appreciated. I am delighted you did enjoy dinner and the special wine tasting experience I organised for you. The timing of your visit - as I had notified you when you changed your booking dates - coincided with our Annual Wine awards event which was finishing as you arrived. The place still bustling with...

We were delighted with our stay at Cotter House. The house is magnificent and beautifully maintained. The service and food was excellent. Gloria spolied us with her incredible french cuisine. We will be going back again in January.

Cotter House's hostess envelops you in charm, culture and warmth and all the while it is done with a class rarely seen and a silver service that is second to none. A truly special stay in one of Auckland's oldest private homes. Fantastic food, sleep and art collection.

We had the best experience and we took best memories of our life in the private beautiful palace, for 1 instance we feel like we are in king's palace.
We have been staying in various hotels around the world but this is very unique experience. thank you Gloria, you are best host.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cotter House. The home is gorgeous and includes a fantastic art collection. The hostess, Gloria, is incredibly gracious and generous with her time. The meals we had at The Cotter House were outstanding. I would definitely recommend The Cotter House to my friends and relatives.

We stayed here to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary and as a surprise for my husband, I booked us for the luxury package. A delicious high tea followed our swim in the afternoon. Then we joined Gloria and some other lovely ladies in a yoga session which was a first for both of us and thoroughly enjoyable. In the early...

Thank you so much for your review! It was a pleasure. However, I reviewed the rating and although I realise that price, location and room size is very much a matter of preference given the very old heritage house, I can definitely do something to earn full grades improving on cleanliness, service and sleep quality. I would appreciate it so...

We celebrated our wedding anniversary in true style of a byegone era!! Gloria is very thoughtful of her pampering care of you, well organised and professional - her knowledge on history and arts from all around the world is very impressive and entertaining!
There are not many places where you really do receive a proper silver service standard ......and Gloria...
