The hosts were so lovely and nice. The room was beautiful and clean and there was fresh fruit and some milk in the fridge and some muesli and great tea.

Our ONLY regret was in only booking two nights - we could have stayed a month. Bag End is a wonderful creative haven; a true oasis. A couple blocks walk from an interesting area of shops, cafes, restaurants and galleries, yet at “home” you’re nestled in a garden paradise. And it IS a home - some b&b’s feel like impersonal hotels - here you are surrounded by artwork and flowers and a true sense that it is a well loved space. We would happily return!

Lovely cosy peaceful place to stay with friendly hosts for a few nights in Auckland. Had everything we needed and was within easy walking distance of the city centre. The garden was beautiful. An oasis in the city

What a wonderful, tranquil place to stay. Amazing, friendly hosts. The little touches of the fruit bowl and homemade granola were appreciated. Shower was famtastic. The bed was super comfortable. Felt very spoilt. Thoroughly recommend.

This is an absolute gem, hidden just minutes off from bustling Ponsonby Road. The room/bathroom has been clearly thought-out for maximising the space, and has everything you ever need (including homemade granola, fresh milk, and water). Liz (as well as Rick & Avery) take great pride the property, and are truly what makes the stay exceptional. I loved our little chats we had, and they were always wanting to go over & beyond. Don't miss out on a brilliant stay!

Cozy hideaway

I've never felt more welcomed anywhere! From the 'your room is ready!' message, to the 'how was your first night?' message, Liz went above and beyond to make me feel at home. The studio is very well organized, the bed is so comfortable and she has thought of everything you might need for a few nights' stay. The room looked exactly like the photos in all its quaint charm. The fruit bowl and home made granola were such a treat! The room was lovely and warm the whole time and I had a good range of areas to sit which was needed as I was home most of the time doing a self-guided retreat. I barely knew there was anyone upstairs (except for occasional episodes of the dog's excited tail wagging on the floor. Too cute!) Close to the city, no need for a car, and surprisingly quiet and secluded. The birdsong in the morning was lovely.I had a wonderful three nights and would highly recommend this property.

An excellent location with a short walk to Ponsonby Rd, in a very attractive heritage cottage. We were most impressed with the lovely collection of colourful pots outside and beautiful tropical back garden with a yellow vireya in flower.A cosy interior with a musical theme. Very much enjoyed chatting to our host Liz.
