"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."

"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."

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."

"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."

"A converted Victorian-era beaut that's been filled with colorful Pacific art, this happy B&B has much to recommend it"
