What guests think
At Braemar On Parliament St, travellers consistently highlight a charming, historic B&B with antiques and a well liked, generous breakfast, set on a quiet, walkable street close to downtown, the harbour, the university, and Spark Arena.
Service stands out for warmth and attentiveness, with personal touches such as early breakfasts, tailored advice, and occasional extra help. Rooms feature period decor and character; however, several reviews note nonstandard bathroom setups (shared or partially open) that may not suit everyone. Some guests report musty odours, visible wear, and maintenance issues in certain areas, while others found spaces clean and comfortable. Expect a distinctive, personable stay rather than a modern, uniform hotel.

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!

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.

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.

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.

The Braemar on Parliament Street is a treasure from another time when the world was slower and craftsmanship and quality meant something. You'll be seated at a breakfast table with other guests in a truly delightful room with china tea cups, handmade wooden furnishings and a generous breakfast made just the way you like it! If you're looking for one of those carbon copy hotels. This is not for you. But, if you want a unique experience; this has something in every corner! And, one of the best places to start is with the host -- John! He's a veritable encyclopedia of stories of the building and places to see, eat and visit!

The room was beautiful, as was the whole BnB. The hosts were wonderful and so accommodating and gave us suggestions on places of interest. Braemar is on the historic register and is full of beautiful antiques and interesting paintings and books to peruse. It is in an excellent location, being in the city center and close to the harbor and ferry. Breakfast was delicious and the overall ambiance is wonderful. I highly recommend this to everyone coming to Auckland.

Our hosts at Braemar went truly above and beyond during our two-night stay as part of our honeymoon! John gave us the Victorian room, which was delightfully retro -- just as we wanted. He also got up super early (before 6am) just so that we could have some breakfast before our Hobbiton/Waitomo Caves tours. Our hosts were always incredibly gracious and a joy to get to know.

1901年に建てられた建物で、横浜の異人館に宿泊しているような雰囲気です。5部屋しかなく、夫婦でやれる範囲の人数しか泊めない、暖かい雰囲気のホテルでした。オークランド大学に近く、ダウンタウンも歩いて15-20分くらいです。18世紀の大きなバスタブに浸かって、19世紀のイギリスです。その雰囲気が好きな人にはたまりません。バスタブとトイレは共用という部屋もあります。朝食もご主人が自ら作り、運んでくれますし、おいしい。ロビーでは、夜他の宿泊客と楽しい会話も楽しみました。

A unique property with a kind and knowledgable host. We stayed one night in the Victorian Room. The room was beautifully decorated and I am sure all the pieces had lots of history to it that I wish we got to stay and learn about. It was a bit odd having a bathroom (toilet, sink, and shower) in the room itself with only a privacy screen to separate it from the rest of the room. It would be good if this was made a bit more apparent with photos on the website - especially for future guests who may not be comfortable with this layout. All in all, we had a comfortable stay during the short time we were there.

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

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!

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.

The Braemar on Parliament Street is a treasure from another time when the world was slower and craftsmanship and quality meant something. You'll be seated at a breakfast table with other guests in a truly delightful room with china tea cups, handmade wooden furnishings and a generous breakfast made just the way you like it! If you're looking for one of those carbon copy hotels. This is not for you. But, if you want a unique experience; this has something in every corner! And, one of the best places to start is with the host -- John! He's a veritable encyclopedia of stories of the building and places to see, eat and visit!

The room was beautiful, as was the whole BnB. The hosts were wonderful and so accommodating and gave us suggestions on places of interest. Braemar is on the historic register and is full of beautiful antiques and interesting paintings and books to peruse. It is in an excellent location, being in the city center and close to the harbor and ferry. Breakfast was delicious and the overall ambiance is wonderful. I highly recommend this to everyone coming to Auckland.

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 started our adventure here and John was the perfect host. He served up a wonderful breakfast accompanied by great conversation. Our room was clean and comfortable. We walked down to the marina and found lots of food and shopping. Great place to stay if you want to bypass stuffy hotel rooms.

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!

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.
