My sister and I stayed here this weekend and what a beautiful spot. So convenient to the CBD but also right in the thick of it on Ponsonby Rd with loads of cafes and shops around. We were concerned about being on main road and traffic noise but slept like babies! The allows are amazing. Wonderful place, great trip and will definately book to stay here again. Thanks

Charming and comfortable hotel in a walkable neighborhood. Lovely garden. Really nice kitchen, so you can cook if you like. Staff went above and beyond to help me with a few problems related to my stay in Auckland.

Nice but very small
Rooms are so tiny that you will have to step over your suitcase to get to the bathroom. The house is pretty and the shared kitchen and garden are a big plus. The ad said there was parking but when we arrived there was no information about where that parking might be so we had to park on the street for $44/day.

We loved the building and location! (Try for room #9 or #5 for city views). Classic old well maintained inn. Not much of a staff presence but we managed well.

A gem in the middle of Ponsonby. I loved the old manor house. The grounds were impeccable with beautiful gardens and numerous spots to sit and relax in the back gardens. Our room was well equipped with excellent bedding. Parking is a challenge so plan accordingly.

It's like returning home.
I have stayed at Ponsonby Manor several times under the previous ownership. This was my first time under the new ownership and it was as warm and welcoming as before. I was very grateful to get a last minute booking as my scheduled booking has to cancel due to street flooding in the area.

A fun place to stay
This neat Guest House ie really cute with a neat front yard area and a balcony that we spent a lot of time on on account of the unprecedented rainfall. The room was small but very nice with a bathroom sink the size of my wife's thimble. We loved staying the 4 days and would strongly recommend this Manor House.

1) We arrived at the guest house at 1.30pmand checked with the host if our room is available? She said no and even guessed our name incorrectly (she was not preparing to welcome guest) We said the email advised that it was ready at 12 o’clock she checked and said oh it is ready (Not impress at first sight). 2) We carried our own food and and wanted to put them in the fridge but one of them was so full so we turned the other fridge on to put our food in. Suddenly she appeared at the kitchen and demanded us that we must immediately turned the fridge off and squashed our stuff into the other fridge (She was very rude the way she spoke and there was not any sign on the fridge suggesting guest not to use). We suggested her that she should leave us instructions so we know but she was so rude and said that it never happen and she does not need to do it. I advised her that every guesthouse/hotel/motel wherever we go there are always instructions and notes for guest (she was not friendly and rude about that) 3) We cooked and she came to the kitchen and complained to make us so uncomfortable. 4) our room was stuffy and smelly and she prepared towels and toiletries for 2 instead of 4 (it was very unorganised ) We would not ever want to comeback to Ponsonby Manor Guest House again. The manor of the host was really bad and she was rude . We do not expected to be treated this way.
