We were all warmly welcomed and looked after by John and Sabine, including Louie our little dog. We had travelled to Auckland to spend some time with our son who lives in the Central city. The Braemar was the only place in the area that will accept pets and it is within easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, theatres, art... More

After many disappointing hotel experiences, we decidered (for the first time) to stay at a B & B and thankfully the stay with John told us that we had made the right decision. From the moment we stepped into Braemar and until we left, John was a thoughtful, considerate and helpful host who went out of his way to make... More

Our host,John, made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived at Braemar. His love of Auckland is apparent. He has a wealth of information to share and went out of his way to help us enjoy our stay. When I returned home I was dismayed to discover that I had left some clothing items behind and John kindly mailed... More

We spent two nights at the Braemar and were very happy with the experience. As it happens we both love heritage buildings and this one is a beauty, restored personally to an exceptional standard by the proprietor John. The location is perfect and John really understands the business of B & B and how to make his customers happy. Our... More

It's hard to know where to begin. The Braemar is in a beautiful heritage building lovingly restored by its owner, John, and his wife. Our room was large and very comfortable. The bed was one of the best I've slept in. Its location is superb, across the street from Albert Park and within a very short walk to the harbour.... More

We are not great city people but our night at this B&B made the visit to Auckland for a concert very enjoyable. Warm & hospitable. Easy 10min walk to Vector Arena & other attractions close by. Our room was quiet & the thick curtains kept out the city lights, ensuring a good nights sleep. We stayed in the Victorian room... More

We loved out short stay at this B&B and host John was great. He even sang us a song before we left! Would recommend this B&B to all if you like historical buildings with attention to period detail. One suggestion, the bathroom in our room would have been more suited to us if it were walled off instead of open,... More

Ideal for our first night in NZ. John and David let us check in early after our long flight and sent us to devonport for lunch -- perfect excursion when you're tired and jet lagged. Also recommended a great restaurant for dinner on Parnell Street. Braemar is so convenient and they let us park our rental car for free. Only... More

We stayed at Braemar our first night in Auckland and were immediately attracted to its quiet charm. David & John were wonderful hosts and the house proved cozy and accommodating. It was very close to many restaurants and shops. More
