Beautiful historic house in the heart of Auckland. Our host was wonderful: friendly, good conversation, deep knowledge about Auckland, and makes truly fluffy scrambled eggs.

What a gem of a place! It is located on a quiet street, yet within walking distance of the harbor and downtown. The owner is charming and saw to our needs. Breakfasts were substantial and tasted good. I highly recommend it.

We had such a fabulous stay at Braemar.
Beautiful accomodation and excellent friendly customer service from the owners.
They went above and beyond to accommodate our family and pets.
The breakfast was also a lovely surprise.
Highly recommend checking them out if you are ever in need of somewhere to stay in Auckland.
We will definitely be back again.

This place was amazing and so welcoming! Situated in one the best Neighborhoods of Auckland, it has easy access to the university, and all the hot spots of Auckland.
The place has a character, and the owner is so caring, helpful and welcoming. I totally felt at home!
The highlight of my stay was the breakfast.. you simply can not miss it!

As other reviewers have noted, John is friendly and eager for his guests to have a great stay. However, I think it is also important to have truth in advertising. We booked the suite and found that it is in poor condition. There is significant water damage on one wall, leaving a big moldy patch. The bed is worn and lumpy. The settee is tattered and really not meant to be sat on. The bathtub is cracked and the luxury toiletries consisted of a recycled plastic bottle with a handwritten “bath salts” label. The tv lounge is now dominated by a second bed that is on a low frame that rocks back and forth. I appreciate that John gave us a partial refunded when we opted to leave, and we met another couple that were happy repeat customers when we checked in. So my take away is to book here for the company, not the luxury.

A beautiful older building on what was a quiet street.
A brilliant host (so sorry sir I forgot your name) but very welcoming and you know that he loves doing BnB as a hobby/living.
Close walking distance to Spark arena.
Breakfast was excellent, and his Scrambled Eggs were top notch and 2nd only to my mums.
1 downside is that (Norman’s) room had a musty smell, we tried to air the room out while we were out, but yeah no success, tolerable during the night but once that small issue is dealt to, it would be a near perfect place to stay.
All the very best for the future.

This property was terrible. It smelt damp and musty. The bed covers were very old and tatty,it looked like it hadn't been washed or replaced for 50 years. The property owner as nice as he was, seemed very used to people complaining about the room and when we said we couldn't sleep there the night and would have to find a new hotel he said this happens sometimes but you can't cancel and I will be talking the full amount from your credit card. I have stayed in better back packers. This is the worst hotel I've seen in a long time.

The Braemer on Parliament Street was to say the least, an unexpected find during our honeymoon in New Zealand. Nestled in-between two larger buildings the Red and Gray exterior caught my eye as we passed the High Court in Auckland. At the ring of the bell, the light inside illuminated and we were greeted by our soon to be host, John. The next morning we woke up for a lovely breakfast and coffee. We were then escorted to Stratton Station where we boarded our Carriage on the Northern Explorer to continue our adventure through New Zealand.
John, we want to sincerely thank you for the kind hospitality and conversation during our stay. It was a wonderful experience that we will remember for a lifetime.
Best Wishes,
Christopher and Elizabeth

We viewed the facility and told owner we were canceling our booking and want a refund. They said we would have to deal with Expedia. The owner had a dog running around, one of the lounges looked like a tv workshop. The desk top was stained we took pictures we were so shocked. The top of a chest in the room we were offered was dirty and the bedspread looked like it had been pawed by a dog. A real shock and not at all like the pictures on line. We want a refund. Dogs should not be running around a hotel/bed and breakfast, unhygienic. False advertising we want refund
