Jetsetter "Wharf-side nautically inspired property with a water-view pool, minimalist rooms and a hip seafood joint." Full review
Fodor's "Perched on the end of Princes Wharf, the Hilton resembles the cruise ships that dock alongside it, with white walls and neutral furnishings in chic, clean-lined rooms." Full review

Rough Guide "Fabulously sited on a wharf jutting into the harbour."
Star Service "At the heart of yachting's inner sanctum, this hotel gets first honors here for its quintessential Auckland vibe." Full review
Gayot "Jutting out like a giant cruise ship, this hotel allows you to sleep, dine and drink not just overlooking the water, but literally over Waitemata Harbour."

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

"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
