Imagine getting into a foreign city after dark, nosing along a maze of streets, drive into an obviously residential neighborhood with handsome Victorians and leafy gardens, and finally pulling into the driveway of what looks like someone's charming and very well tended cottage. Is this really the right place? Then you see a welcoming message for with your names on... more

If you are going to Auckland, book this place now. There probably isn't a more comfortable place to stay in the city, especially at the price, and there definitely can't be a more charming hostess than Beth. She let us drop off our bags at 7:30 in the morning! She was really chatty and helpful about things to see and... more

I can highly recommend 23 Hepburn if you are travelling to Auckland!... more

My friend and I only stayed for one night on the way home to Sydney and were more than impressed with the fine detail to everything our lovely hostess Beth had provided, right down to the gorgeous flowers in our room. It is in a terrific inner Auckland suburb with lots of great shopping and restaurants nearby. My friend and... more

From my first contact with Beth via email, I knew this was the perfect place to stay. After four weeks of travelling in Australia, we spent our first night in New Zealand at 23 Hepburn, a lovely bed and breakfast in a residential area which is close to everything, Heather who was filling in for Beth, welcomed my daugher and... more
