I stayed in 2 different rooms during my visit- both very quiet, sunny and clean. Sally (the owner) is very friendly and provides great service and breakfast. The whole atmosphere of the hotel is very cozy and lovely with nice paintings and furniture. If you don't want to stay at business hotels and you are looking for a place which... More

I think this review is intended for the Great Ponsonby Art Hotel - the owner there is Sally (I'm Bernadette). Easy to confuse with Ponsonby House. Thanks More

Ponsonby House was recommended by a friend and our stay exceeded our expectations. In a perfect location (easily found using public transport), it felt like we were staying with good friends, as the service was warm, homely and friendly. Jonathan and Bernadette are fantastic hosts. We stayed in the Jasmine room, with its wrap around windows, comfy king-size bed and... More

The room was lovely, the bathroom is gorgeous, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the couple running the accommodation are really lovely. They made my business trip feel like I... More

We selected this B&B based on location and price. We were surprised by the high quality, attention to detail and relaxed friendly nature of our hosts. We will most definitely make this our base in Auckland on any subsequent visits. More

I don't know how we got so lucky to have chosen this B&B for our first and last nights in New Zealand, but everything was so warm and welcoming and just fantastically pleasant! We had tea and cake when we first arrived in Auckland and tea and scones on our last night before we left! The room (Jasmine) was spacious,... More

We only stayed at Ponsonby House for 1 night but would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Auckland. The location is great - 50 feet fom Ponsonby Road with its collection of shops, cafe's & restaurants and just a 15 minute bus ride into central Auckland. The room was bright, spacious (large bed, 2-seat leather sofa... More

We had a fantastic two night stay in Ponsonby House. Bernadette was extremely welcoming and we really appreciated the offer of a cup of tea or glass of wine upon our arrival after a long drive. Very friendly without being intrusive, very high standard of accommodation, furnishings, bed linen etc and the breakfast of cereals, fresh fruit, yogurt and warm... More

Ponsonby House is a traveller's treasure. The service is not only top notch (warm croissants delivered fresh to complement a tasty and generous continental breakfast) but it has the personal, tailored touch that only a boutique operation can provide. The owners are welcoming and eager to please. High quality linens and beds garantee the sound sleep every traveller craves and... More
