I was really surprised to read the recent negative review about Moana Vista. I stayed here in June with my husband and daughter and we thought it was absolutely lovely and a wonderful base to stay in Auckland. The accommodation is extremely comfortable and the owners very welcoming and generous. It is really one of the nicest areas to stay... more

Our hosts were absent, so we had to help ourselves to breakfast from the fridge and larder. The room was nice enough, but lack of any service was unacceptable. One got the impression they had lost interest in the business and had asked neighbours to help out and plonk a packet of cornflakes on the table. more

Perfect location on one of Auckland's prettiest streets near hip Ponsonby Road. We did interact quite a lot with the host. They couldn't have been more helpful. Tim is the perfect tour guide, intelligent, knowledgeable and very discreet. Atmosphere relaxed and layed back. Thank you Tim & Matt! more

We live out of town and Moana Vista is always my B and B of choice when we come to Auckland. We prefer the friendly ambiance of Moana Vista and Tim and Matthew's wonderful hopitality to that of a simple hotel room- whether travelling alone or with my son. The beautifully laid out breakfast is always a pleasant way to... more

I feel compelled to write a review of our experience at the Moana Vista. We stayed at 8 different bed and breakfast/cottage establishments during our NZ visit.

What is not to like about this place. I had the smaller room on the ground floor but the bed was very comfortable and the power shower was excellent. Tim and Matthew make this place. So friendly and relaxed that even if you arrive stressed out, you relax very quickly. Breakfast was just right and I loved the quality of... more

If you want to stay somewhere that feels like Auckland, this is it. Matt and Tim run a great modern B&B, very close to shops, galleries and cafes, and minutes from downtown. The house feels good from the first step inside the door, and the welcome is both genuine and relaxed. We felt as thought we'd discovered a secret that... more

Moana Vista was the first place I stayed at when I arrived in NZ. I came straight from the airport after a 24 hour flight - and received a very warm welcome from Tim and Matthew. My bedroom was big, comfortable and clean - with views over to the Bay (and could just see the harbour bridge over the trees!).... more
