Its a couple of minutes walk to Ponsonby Road and about 10-15 minutes to K Road. We stayed in a queen room with ensuite which was spacious and clean, with nice linen on the bed. Check in was a breeze and the service was friendly and warm. Definately recommend and would stay here again :) ##### Heather Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron Apr 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellence Everything was excellent! ##### Aaron Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rashel Sep 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were amazing , the front desk young lady was so helpful and kind .

Nice balconies with views of the city , has big garden area and is right next to a park, so feels very green and in nature. Easy 10 minute taxi from CBD, good food options in local area. Perfect place to stay for a relaxed experience in Auckland. Very friendly owner and staff ##### Timothy Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie Mar 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Extremely lovely building, very homely Lovely house with garden, balconies, library, living room and a very well equipped kitchen. Staff were really friendly and helpful. I stayed 3 times in different rooms, the ensuite rooms are definitely worth the extra money, simply because you are normally away from the single rooms there's loads of doors slamming shut with everyone nipping to the toilet throughout the night. Great location as very close to centre without the noise and big supermarket just 5 mins walk away ##### Julie Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### marion Dec 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Nice building. Needs to separate toilets from bathrooms. A good electrician to renovate plugs ##### marion Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Russell Apr 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Verandahs is a nice comfortable and clean place to stay. My only problem is there was no towel provided. If this is usual, I had no idea I would have to bring my own. ##### Russell Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joanna May 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stayed here for a night whilst passing through Auckland. The facilities were great, but bed was a little uncomfortable. The doors were always locked from the outside, but no lockers in the rooms. Also only had 1 main light in the room, which was a bit annoying. But overall good value for money for the night. ##### Joanna Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Four Points by Sheraton Auckland](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Auckland.h21512065.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in New Orleans](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels.d178292.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Adina Citylife Auckland](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-CityLife-Auckland.h70091.Hotel-Information) > > [M Social Auckland](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-M-Social-Auckland.h5465.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Port of Piraeus](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Of-Piraeus-Hotels.0-l6173316-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [JW Marriott Auckland](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Auckland.h447796.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Seven Mile Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Seven-Mile-Beach-Hotels.d601786.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-Sofitel-Auckland-Viaduct-Harbour.h1665023.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Sands Resort Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Penticton-Hotels-Golden-Sands-Resort-Motel.h12525917.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Royal York](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Fairmont-Royal-York.h17289.Hotel-Information) > > [YMCA Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Auckland-Hotels-YMCA-Hostel.h4927097.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in La Ronge](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Ronge-Hotels.d4101.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Samoa](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Samoa-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d155-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Ocean El Faro Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Ocean-El-Faro-Resort-All-Inclusive.h27395552.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayside Inn & Waterfront Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels-Bayside-Inn-Waterfront-Suites.h6125813.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-friendly Hotels in Revelstoke](https://www.expedia.ca/Revelstoke-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d10607-tPetfriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pinnacle Hotel at the Pier](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Pinnacle-Hotel-At-The-Pier.h3049471.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Hotel Bayer's Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Hotels-Comfort-Hotel-Bayers-Lake.h4258037.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Birmingham (BHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/bhx/delhi-to-birmingham) > > [Flights from Windsor (YQG) to Waterloo (ALO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqg/alo/windsor-to-waterloo) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/yul/kelowna-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Tocumen (PTY) to Bocas del Toro (BOC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pty/boc/panama-city-to-bocas-del-toro) ### Cruise > [Cruises to Hawaii](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-to-Hawaii.d213.Travel-Guide-Cruise) ### Packages > [Prince Edward Island Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Prince-Edward-Island.d6058122.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico) > > [Tulum Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Tulum.d182189.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Old Montreal Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Old-Montreal.d6058206.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Hawaii](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/213/Hawaii)
