"Small hotel in a restored 1898 villa in the fashionable suburb of Ponsonby. Two minutes’ walk to cafés, restaurants and boutiques, five minutes’ taxi ride to downtown."
Rough Guide
"This welcoming boutique hotel, in a restored 1898 villa a 3min walk from Ponsonby Rd, is the pick of the crop."
Fodor's
"The cozy lounge is stocked with music, films, books, and magazines, and has an honor bar. Five of the rooms have kitchenettes and open off the courtyard."

"This deceptively spacious Victorian villa has gregarious hosts, impressive sustainability practices, great breakfasts, and it’s located a stone’s throw from Ponsonby Rd in a quiet cul-de-sac."
