We really enjoyed our stay at the Manor! It's an adorable property and the service was great. The only thing i would suggest is that the bathroom in the cottage couple use a fresh coat of paint.

We stayed for 1 night (New Years Eve) as we were eating nearby with friends and it was very convenient to stay here and get a good night sleep. Had a lovely view of Auckland city and the sky tower. No parking on site though and so had to park on a side street further away as there was no parking on the road in front of the place either.

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.

This is a lovely B&B with a delightful garden and a nice big kitchen. The owner came by in the morning to say hello and check if we were all set. I highly recommend Ponsonby Manor!!

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.

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

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.

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.

Be aware that the onsite parking is a maybe there is a space behind the bottleshop. Otherwise, lovely place, very convenient for restaurants/shopping and downtown is an easy bus ride away (or you could walk). There's no reception but the staff are there, so checking in was easy.
