Our stay at Braemar was accidental, as another BnB had double-booked us. When we arrived the building stood within the CBD of Auckland and blended in with the urban facades.

Stayed 2 nights in early April 2013. This is a historic building with lots of interesting rooms with pictures and objects etc. The bedroom and bathroom were clean, comfortable, quiet and uncomplicated - just my cup of tea. The owner is helpful and friendly and the wifi is free. No complaints whatsoever. A bit more expensive than other options but... More

If you can find a cooler house to live it, buy it. If you can find better people to live with, move in and ask them to adopt you. The house manager, Jackie, answered the door to us inher housecoat, hair a mess...oh wait we were 9 hours early....it was 5:45am...she let us in, put us in a very victorianish... More

Braemar is an old restored home located in the heart of Auckland. We stayed for 1 night in the Norman room, which has a shared bathroom. The 2 main positives: central location and wonderful owner.
