Parnell Garden Suite — Hotel in Waitematā

My daughter and I spent the night in this absolutely delightful AirB&B on the eve of her wedding - which took place in the beautiful Parnell Rose gardens right opposite. I cannot sing the praises of this suite highly enough: everything - and I mean everything - has been thought of. At one point I urgently needed a pair of scissors and - of course - they were there. The room is light and airy and has a beautiful private garden. Fluffy bathrobes are provided and the bathroom floor is heated. Susan went to endless trouble to provide for allergy to feather bed linen and was so warm and friendly. The bed was very comfortable and the linen felt brand new, the whole place is spotless and feels very secure with entrance gate and house codes. It's right in the centre of Parnell and walking distance to all sorts of restaurants and nightlife but the actual road is very quiet - didn't even need my habitual earplugs.

We also found there is a walking path on the other side of Parnell rail station so you can walk to Domain gardens. Susan provided a simple breakfast but if you want a bit more there were some really nice places on Parnell street. And we had a fun electric scooter ride all the way home after exploring...

I cannot say enough superlatives about our stay at the Parnell Garden Suite. Susan is the most gracious host and has thought of every single detail that a traveler may need. We were pleasantly surprised with a well-stocked kitchen with numerous breakfast items that lasted all four days of our stay. The unit is immaculate and decorated in a very modern fashion. Susan was communicative and accommodating. She lives right above the property and very easy to contact with questions. We stayed in over 8 different properties during our stay in New Zealand and Susan's place was one of...
