Three great reasons to stay at this place: breakfast, location, and Sally and Gerry. The breakfast is delicious. The Ponsonby area has good restaurants and interesting shops, and is within walking distance of downtown Auckland. And Sally and Gerry are kind, fun, and go out of their way to help you. Yes, they are running a business, but it does... More

This was my second stay at the Ponsonby B&B and now I just wouldn’t consider going anywhere else in Auckland. It’s truly a remarkable little place. Gerry and Sally are the most friendly and attentive hosts you could imagine. Gerry’s knowledge of Ponsonby and Auckland, and his obvious love for the area, means that every question you have will be... More

This is a charming place to stay: a colonial villa with multiple rooms, all spotless and beautifully presented. Friendly hosts, great breakfast which you can have inside or on the small verandah, and several places to sit in the garden. There's also an honesty bar so a glass of wine or a whisky is easy to come by. Quiet street... More

If you are looking for a perfect place to stay in the beautiful suburb of Ponsonby then look no further than the amazing Arthotel. My partner and I recently spent two nights in the luxurious Green Room Studio. We are still buzzing from our exquisite experience. From the moment we walked through the door we were made to feel at... More

We spent the last 2 days at the Great Ponsonby of our recent 2 week visit to Auckland for a family wedding. We were greeted by Jess who made us feel most welcome, whilst we were enjoying a pot of tea and coffee, she went through the tourist information we may need eg: the link buses, good places to eat...

Our stay in Great Ponsonby Art Hotel was magnificent! From where should I start? The room was smart and colorfully decorated, very clean, with a kitchen and a lovely bathroom, and you could simply find anything you can think of. Iron, sky tv, ipod, dvd, full supplies for the kitchen and the bathroom, electric blankets etc. Their breakfast were fantastic,... More

The description of the hotel sounded interesting, but I was delighted to find that it was much more than that. The GPA has a special personality which is relaxed yet sophisticated enough to lift it out of the B&B category. Food was excellent as was staff interaction with guests. I was impressed that many of the guests were return visitors,... More

We have stayed in many of the hotels in Auckland and this B&B is by far the best value for money. The rooms are wonderful peaceful havens filled with Pacific and Kiwi art. Its relaxing, spotlessly clean and an utter delight to stay in. The breakfasts are divine with great coffee. The hotel uses eco products even down to the... More
