The Cockells were great hosts and I enjoyed sharing my breakfasts and evening tea with them. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. It's quite close to the Mission Bay beach and not too far away from both Airport and Auckland city centre.

We got a shuttle from the airport right to the door of this really lovely B & B, where we were warmly received by Jean and Bryan. It proved to be a real gem, comfortable, peaceful and spotlessly clean. Jean and Bryan were excellent hosts and went out of their way to ensure our comfort and enjoyment for our 3 night stay. The position was excellent, only a few minutes walk down the hill into Mission Bay where there were regular busses into Auckland. It was an added bonus to have a sitting room and the use of an outside deck, would thoroughly recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay in this conveniently located self contained bed and breakast. Bryan and Jean were friendly, entertaining and welcoming hosts. This ideal location is very close to Mission Bay shops and restaurants and an easy bus ride into Auckland. A hearty breakfast was provided along with ready humour and conversation.

This bed & breakfast is in a nice quiet location, close to the lovely Mission Bay beach and village. The owners, Jean and Bryan, are wonderfully friendly Kiwi hosts. The room and facilities were very comfortable; particularly having its own separate bathroom, toilet, but also a small lounge. Great value for money!

Originally we had booked a 3 night stay with the Cockell B&B but enjoyed the stay so much that we decided to stay an extra night. With only 1 bedroom for rent you have exclusive use of the upper section of the house which includes ensuite bathroom and living room. The price was one of the best bargains on our 35 day trip. Full breakfast was included for $100 NZ. Furnishing are simple but the house is super clean and very confortable. Dinner price was also a bargain and was delicious. The best part of the stay are the wonderful couple who run it. Jean and Brian were a fountain of information on New Zealand. They also respect your privacy but were willing to open up their section of the house for chats which included beverage of your choice and wonderful snacks. The 5 star rating is based on wonderful owners, and value. Thanks again Jean and Brian for a great stay.…
