"It features lovingly tended period details such as supremely high ceilings, and has much more style than many of the luxury hotels in the city centre."
DK Eyewitness
"Slick, elegant luxury boutique hotel on the Devonport Village waterfront, a 10-minute ferry ride across the harbour from Auckland."
Fodor's
"Upstairs, a wide corridor hung with chandeliers leads to generous rooms with period furnishings ... harbor views come at a slightly higher rate."

"As unassuming as its namesake, this gay-friendly hostel is tucked away in a busy-by-day commercial strip, a stone’s throw from all the good shopping and grazing opportunities."
