Built amidst the lovely sub-tropical gardens of this historic neighborhood, Ascot Parnell offers secure and tranquil luxury accommodation. All rooms and balconies have been designed to capture all day sun, with every window framing another spectacular view of Auckland’s beautiful harbour, and city skyline.

Guest-suites are bright & airy, tastefully furnished and have comfortable Queen, King or Super-King beds with fine quality linen. Each room has a luxury bathroom, with shower and/or full bath-tub, hair-drier, bath-robes, TV, clock-radio, climate control, internet connection and dedicated phone and fax line.

The spacious guest-lounge opens up to a large sunny balcony with spectacular panoramic harbour views. There is a library with travel books, a paperback exchange and New Zealand & international magazines and newspaper. A desk with Apple Mac-PC offers free Wireless Internet Access. On cool nights you can cuddle up around the open fire-place with a hot drink or a glass of New Zealand wine.

Breakfast is a sumptuous affair with such choices as fresh organic fruit, yoghurt, Belgian pancakes, French toast, or gourmet omelettes etc... and is served in the morning room or alfresco on the balcony with breathtaking harbour views. We cater for special diets i.e. vegetarian, wheat/gluten free, sugar free, dairy free etc...

Please advise your specific dietary needs when you book. Complimentary fresh coffee, teas and cookies are available throughout the day. Our breakfast menu also includes free-range eggs, fresh squeezed organic juice, herbal and decaffeinated tea and coffee and GE-free soy milk. With some notice (preferably when you book) we can stock such items as goats milk, goats cheese and goats yoghurt, rye-linseed bread, pumpernickel, spelt bread, rice bread or rice wafers. (We are familiar with the 'Blood-type diet' by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo.)
