DK Eyewitness "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." Full review
Lonely Planet "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." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"This converted colonial villa is steeped in Pacific culture and history, down a quiet residential street, yet just two minutes’ walk from Auckland’s best restaurant district." Full review
Frommer's "A converted Victorian-era beaut that's been filled with colorful Pacific art, this happy B&B has much to recommend it" Full review
