On a rainy day and fully booked out Auckland central this place is a gem and such good value. It is a step back in time with beautiful high-ceiling rooms and very welcoming service. There's also a very good oyster wine-bar down the road. It really is Remuera/Auckland central at its best. I commend the owners and the staff for... More

Found the place on Wotif...was perfect for what I needed. A beautiful place to work from and make myself at home while going for a stack of meetings in Auckland. Aside from the fact that it's a stunning residence, it's easy to get into Auckland and a short walk to the cool little shops at Remuera. Rooms are simple and... More

The place is really peaceful. Good to avoid the city busting noises and crowds. Do not expect immediate attentions like 5 stars. I am ok Because I like to be at home, like by ourselves. No servants. But just talk to them and I get served. Thank you Helen. You have been great. cheers Peter c/o melissa

My wife and I booked this hotel for four nights. It was terrible. After the first night we had and early start and arrived back at the hotel late in the evening only to find the bed not made or the bathroom cleaned. It seems that you have to put a sign out on the door to let them know... More

This was once an outstanding Hotel where we felt proud to have overseas guest stay, I will not stay here again until it is under new management or purchased by people who know how to run a New Zealand heritage hotel. Please do have visitors who are not NZer's stay here, this is not a typical New Zealand boutique Hotel.... More

This would have been a very grand house in its day! Set up now as a hotel, our room had it's own en-suite, a queen bed and a single, a table and several chairs. TV and tea-making facilities including a bar fridge (no mini-bar) made up the room. The room is not huge but certainly adequate and the bathroom was... More

We stayed here for one night on our way north. The house is lovely and the rooms beautifully furnished. Bathroom somewhat tiny compared with the bedroom though. Went to bed about 11pm only to be woken up a 3.45am with talking through the walls. Wherever the the people were, I could hear their conversation word for word so had to... More

The hotel is under new management who couldn't have been more helpful. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and Helen went out of her way to personally buy the wine I wanted and a selection of chocolates. When we arrived she had upgraded our room and also put in a lovely bunch of flowers. The rooms are lovely, although the... More

I have stayed here a couple of times and I really like it, once you get past the somewhat somber entrance with a grey set of flats down the drive way the house itself is charming and the rooms are huge and really good value. The bathrooms are definitely older style but very clean. I have found the staff very... More
