I would not recommend Cotter House. The property is something which would look wonderful in a movie, but is chaotic, untidy, unclean in some places and impractical. It is over-priced. The service and attention is superficial and poor in comparison to other accommodation choices. The cooking however is very good, but if you want old world charm and luxury in... More

We were delighted with our stay at Cotter House. The house is magnificent and beautifully maintained. The service and food was excellent. Gloria spolied us with her incredible french cuisine. We will be going back again in January. More

Cotter House's hostess envelops you in charm, culture and warmth and all the while it is done with a class rarely seen and a silver service that is second to none. A truly special stay in one of Auckland's oldest private homes. Fantastic food, sleep and art collection. More

We had the best experience and we took best memories of our life in the private beautiful palace, for 1 instance we feel like we are in king's palace. We have been staying in various hotels around the world but this is very unique experience. thank you Gloria, you are best host. More

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cotter House. The home is gorgeous and includes a fantastic art collection. The hostess, Gloria, is incredibly gracious and generous with her time. The meals we had at The Cotter House were outstanding. I would definitely recommend The Cotter House to my friends and relatives. More

We celebrated our wedding anniversary in true style of a byegone era!! Gloria is very thoughtful of her pampering care of you, well organised and professional - her knowledge on history and arts from all around the world is very impressive and entertaining! There are not many places where you really do receive a proper silver service standard ......and Gloria... More

My wife and I stayed here in November of 2007 at the beginning and end of a 3-week vacation in New Zealand, and I returned again myself for a week for business in October of 2008. The quality of the rooms, furnishings, linens, service and grounds are superb. The location is Remuera, a very nice residential neighborhood about 15 minutes... More

Gloria was very friendly and an ex host. Our breakfast's were made by Gloria, and she served us well with a four course, every morning at the time we wanted. The rooms are very nice but very antique and cluttered with all the gadgets on show. Bathroom beautiful although the shower kept going hot and cold. We didn't bring slippers... More
