We really enjoyed our stay at the Manor! It's an adorable property and the service was great. The only thing i would suggest is that the bathroom in the cottage couple use a fresh coat of paint.

This guest house is truly a gem. The rooms are quiet and comfortable. The self service kitchen I well stocked. The neighborhood is walkable with lots of awesome restaurant and bar options. The staff were incredibly accommodating to our needs and this was our second stay here. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Auckland!

A fun place to stay

This neat Guest House ie really cute with a neat front yard area and a balcony that we spent a lot of time on on account of the unprecedented rainfall. The room was small but very nice with a bathroom sink the size of my wife's thimble. We loved staying the 4 days and would strongly recommend this Manor House.

Great location, quiet and the room really suited our 4 person family (2 adults, 2 kids). Great check in experience and great to have the full kitchen facilities at our disposal. Only downside was that the shower was a bit tired and the shower head kept 'drooping' (i.e. didn't always stand up on its own) - we could manage around it though.

We stayed for 1 night (New Years Eve) as we were eating nearby with friends and it was very convenient to stay here and get a good night sleep. Had a lovely view of Auckland city and the sky tower. No parking on site though and so had to park on a side street further away as there was no parking on the road in front of the place either.

My sister and I stayed here this weekend and what a beautiful spot. So convenient to the CBD but also right in the thick of it on Ponsonby Rd with loads of cafes and shops around. We were concerned about being on main road and traffic noise but slept like babies! The allows are amazing. Wonderful place, great trip and will definately book to stay here again. Thanks
