Staying at Braemar on Parliament St felt like stepping into a real-life storybook. This beautifully preserved colonial-style townhouse in central Auckland exudes charm from the moment you walk in—every corner, from the living room to the bedrooms, is filled with vintage elegance and character. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s an immersive experience of Kiwi lifestyle. Though some rooms have shared bathrooms or only partial privacy (with screens), cleanliness was spotless—each space was meticulously cleaned daily. The host, a warm-hearted local elder with a sharp wit and endless stories, made every interaction feel personal and genuine. Breakfast was a highlight: a classic English spread with fresh salads, toasted bread, homemade jams, and perfectly cooked eggs and bacon tailored to your preference. What stood out most?

The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making check-in and check-out smooth and stress-free. While it operates similarly to an Airbnb, the place is clean, well-maintained, and offers a genuine local vibe.

Everything is within easy reach, making travel around Auckland super smooth. We loved the comfort, cleanliness, and practicality of this place. Highly recommend it for families looking for convenience and value—definitely booking here again on our next visit.

I accidentally left my wallet behind in the room after checking out on March 10, containing Australian cash and a bank card. When I returned to the hotel the next day, it was still safely there waiting for me. A special thanks goes to a young male staff member who worked on Sunday—he patiently listened to my story, took me back to the room, and helped locate the wallet right away. His kindness and professionalism truly stood out. It’s rare to encounter such genuine care from hotel staff, especially when no one was expecting anything in return. This experience made my stay memorable not just because of the comfortable rooms or convenient location, but because of the people who made me feel valued. The entire team deserves recognition—this level of service is exactly what makes a great hotel. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending Ellerslie Palms Motel to friends and family.
