The warm welcome of Bernadette and Jonathan began even already before we arrived. Bernadette kindly reached out to us by email with an offer to help us on arrival and provide suggestions. Although we arrived on our own, the welcome was so warm and friendly. The rooms are very tastefully decorated and in outstanding condition. Our hosts were so kind... More

When we knew that we were visiting Auckland again we had no hesitations in booking a second stay at Ponsonby House. It was like visiting old friends as we were welcomed "Home" by Jonathan and Bernadette and shown up to our wonderful room. This time we stayed for two nights and felt so relaxed in the bright, spacious and homely... More

A stay with Bernadette and Jonathon at Ponsonby House was the best start to a blissful 4weeks in NZ. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel right at home from the moment we stepped through the front door. Our room was delightful. Beautifully decorated, light, airy and spacious. Breakfast was lovely served in our room at... More

Ponsonby House exceeded our already high expectations. Bernadette and Jonathon are wonderful hosts who provide the warmest welcome. Our accommodation was superb in a large light filled and airy bed/sitting room overlooking the garden with the most comfortable king size bed and an equally luxurious en suite with every amenity. Quality linen, breakfasts to die for, refreshments, fresh fruit in... More

We stayed in three separate places during our time in Auckland (in between arrival and trips to others parts of NZ) and this was by far and away the best. Firstly the rooms are beautifully furnished, clean and the one we stayed in had a great view over the rooftops of Auckland to the sea. Secondly, Jonathan and Bernadette were... More

Bernadette and Jonathan were incredibly friendly and helpful before and during our stay. Helped us arrange transport to and from airport, and even dropped us in CBD on their way to a meeting. Felt so much at home, and would have loved more time to explore AKL and to enjoy them! Great hip area with lots of shops and restaurants... More

We stayed 3 nights in the Earl Grey room in this pretty restored house - a brilliant start to our NZ holiday. Feeling dazed and jetlagged, this was the perfect place to get acclimatised, as the hosts were so very kind and understanding. We immediately felt at home with the warm welcome from Bernadette and Jonathan (best scones EVER, by... More

it was just perfect. We arrived late in AKL and still Bernadette & Jonathan welcomed us friendly. Great facilities and above all super friendly, interested and caring hosts. Location is great aswell with a bunch of cool restaurants just nextby on Ponsonby Road. we loved it and want to come back when in New Zealand again.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at and can highly recommend the Ponsonby House with its warm and personable hosts Bernadette and Jonathan. Their beautifully restored home in a quiet neighborhood retains all of its original charm yet is located just steps from delightful Ponsonby Road and its wide array of interesting shops and restaurants. We like to walk a lot, and... More
