Amazing historic house that is centrally located and within walking distance of uni and downtown. Friendly and very helpful host.

It’s a property that is 100 years old and maintained in a lovely authentic manner. Very friendly owner. Wonderful breakfast and others quests were equally lovely. Slept extremely well. Mattress was great.

This was a delightful, authentic place to stay, with a delicious breakfast and personal attention from the owner. It is very centrally located and comfortable.

The house has an old world charm with history dating back to the 1900s. The location, in a quiet residential neighbourhood is wonderful and within easy walking distance to sites, shopping and restaurants. John is a charming host with lots of stories, history and sightseeing tips to share....plus he makes a fantastic breakfast which sets you up for your day of sightseeing. A bonus is the glass of wine when you return for happy hour. I highly recommend the Braemar on Parliament if you are looking for local colour and the B & B experience in Auckland. We'll be back!

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.

What an excellent location and amazing host. I would love to bring my future bride to be here in the near future. I loved the one on one time with with the owner and I love that he is passionate about preserving this property in the historic manner that it is. Highly suggested!

Braemar is an opportunity to experience a truly original property with a fabulous friendly host. Quirky and stacked with interesting features along with a great breakfast.

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.

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.

John is a great host, provides wonderful info about local events, culture, history. And he quotes poems!

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 a two night stay after cruise ship travel at Braemar on Parliament Street. We choose to walk with our luggage from port to bed & breakfast, and though we are in our senior years and unaccustomed to steep streets, found this location to be excellent. Its quiet, residential area near historical site and university. Host John and his spouse were magnificent, providing comfort, information, civil lessons, and hospitality. Enjoyed breakfast, too. Room was clean and spacious though needs ceiling repairs. No air-conditioning, but not needed. Bathroom facilities inside room dated to colonial days a bit uncomfortable; change in shower curtain recommended. But, we would definitely stay here again upon our return to Auckland. Thank you!

Fantastic property management.

Perfect for a solo traveler. John made breakfast every morning and chatting with guests, and never hesitated to help. I had a room with shared bathroom with another room. It did not do anythings since there a few rooms in total and most of the rooms do have bathroom.

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!

Lovely host.

Lovely host.

We found our stay at Braemar to be most comfortable. The hosts are attentive, the street quiet, and the location central to a number of the local Auckland sights and activities. We had no trouble finding a variety of places to eat in easy walking distance. The house is lovely old Victorian charm personified, and we were sad to leave. The breakfasts were varied and plentiful. If we are staying in Auckland again, we will be sure to seek a room at Braemar again.
