Braemar on Parliament Street

The Braemar is in a beautiful 1904 mansion. The largest room is huge, with a beautiful fireplace and large window. But there was no bathroom when the house was built, so one was added later. However, no one ever added walls, so the toilet just sits in the corner. The mattress was old and lumpy and the bedspread looked like a cat had attacked it. The chair was child-sized. There is no TV or coffee in the room. The location was good.

Gorgeous building which was full of character. John was an exceptional host, even dropping us off at the bus stop. Would definitely stay again next time we’re in Auckland. 5 stars

Extraordinarily warm and welcoming owners John and Mel. Excellent location for walk to harbor, restaurants and sites.

This is a very old, and charming building with very friendly staff. I would recommend this stay.

Absolutely fabulous hosts, including lovely granddaughter visiting. Really enjoyed being waited on, and watching the "All Blacks" game with wine included. Loved the architecure. I could go on and on, nut will just say "fabulous".

Great place to stay if visiting Auckland central. It has charm of a past era . Bed is very comfortable and the BF was amazing . Towels and linen need to be upgraded

Our stay in Auckland with John and Mel was great! They were generous enough to give us a free room upgrade with a stocked fridge and private bathroom. They had great recommendations for local activities and were knowledgeable about the city and it’s history. We would definitely stay there again next time we visit Auckland!

Fantastic Victorian house with informative and entertaining hosts (John and Mel). This is a unique B&B in the heart of Auckland. If you are looking for modern amenities, stay in a 5 star hotel; if you are looking for character and history, stay here. John was incredibly helpful - welcoming us even though it was late when we finally got to Auckland, parking our car, giving us tips on where to go for sightseeing and eating out. Thoroughly enjoyable stay - I would stay there again without doubt.

Fabulous place and people. Lits of good conversatuons over included wine and later the excellent breakfast. Lively place and would definitely return. Only minor issue was weak wifi signal in the room. Recommended!

Well maintained Victorian property. Walking distance to the Quay where most of the activity takes place. Our room was spacious and quiet. Breakfast (included) was very good. The owners are delightful and extremely helpful.
