Stayed here in late August for a night. Braemar on Parliament has a great many things going for it. It's very central -- just a 10 minute walk to Queen Street at most, yet the surroundings are very quiet because of the adjacent parks. The townhouse itself is full of character and old-world charm in an otherwise new and modern... more

The accomidations and rooms were relaxing, warm, and comforting. There was more history in the house than time allowed. The breakfast was made to order with a variety of traditional NZ options available. Sue and her husband went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. There are plenty of available books and tour guides at the house for... more

I visited Auckland in mid-April 2008 from Colorado. This was my second stay at Braemar, the first being an overnight stay in Jenny's room about three years ago. This time I took advantage of the central location and great hospitality and stayed in the much larger Victorian room for three nights. I arrived from Denver, via San Francisco, at 6.30am... more

My partner and I only wish that we'd had longer to stay at the Braemar. Its an old (by NZ standards!) house, well furnished in a graceful style to suit its age. Our large room had a traditional and complementary out-size bath - wonderful for luxuriating in. Breakfast was excellent, although getting out of the big comfortable bed in time... more

We recently spent two nights at the Braemar B&B. The experience did not live up to our expectations from reading about the Braemar in guidebooks and in previous reviews. Perhaps we had been spoiled by our experiences at the other B&B’s we stayed at during our two weeks in New Zealand. Braemar felt less like a B&B and more like... more

This B and B is a hidden gem. The house, which has been fully restored, stands in a quiet residential area of Auckland but is just 10 minutes walk into the city centre. There is private parking available at the back of the property (extremely steep so check your handbrake!). We had The Batten suite which is beautifully appointed and... more

I stayed for 4 nights at Braemar in Auckland. I arrived early which was no problem for Sue, the owner. She offered me tea and cake. She was helpful with lots of information and suggestions for things to do in Auckland. I stayed in the Victoria room which was large and included an open bathroom area which was unique. The... more

Another review stated very similar views Stayed 2 nights then another night Eclectic B& B close to central Auckland Hosts very informative and lent us loads of material Got to understand a lot more about New Zealand Felt more like a family guest Went out of their way including making sure we had somewhere to park more

The Braemar on Parliament Street is a four room B&B (one room is a large suite, one room has an en suite bathroom, and the remaining two share a bathroom) in a historic building in the Auckland central business district. Note that "historic" buildings in New Zealand were built in the early 1900s; not the 1700s or 1800s as in... more
