For the second time, we decided to return at "Brontë at Prospect Hill Lodge", because we feel quite at home, as if we were hosted by relatives. This beautiful fully restored late nineteenth century Victorian house is tastefully furnished. There is only a huge suite, consisting of a lounge, a bedroom, a dressing room and a bathroom with a private... More

The accommodation was outstanding - a private three roomed suite in a 'heritage' home in the attractive village of Howick just twenty minutes from the airport and a lovely ferry trip to central Auckland if you prefer not to drive. We were made to feel so welcome by our wonderful hosts Gaye and John - nothing was too much trouble... More

Great location, great accommmodation perfectly presented, but best of all Gaye and John make you feel like you've dropped in as friends rather than guests. John's tips on what to see, where to go and how to get there were just perfect. Unreservedly recommended! Thanks for such a wonderful time. More

Stayed here twice during the rugby world cup - Gaye & John as the best hosts ever! Accommodation is a wing of the house all to your self, and you're treated as family. Howick is lovely with good shops and restaurants. More

What an amazing experience! In the world of B&B accommodation, this has to be the best kept secret.

Not to mention the truly wonderful hosts of Gaye and... More

What a way to end our honeymoon. Bronte at Prospect Hill is a home away from home. The accommodation is superb, and in such a lovely location set amongst beautiful gardens. Howick has a lovely village feel with lots of nice restaurants and cafes to enjoy. John and Gaye are such a special couple and meeting them was the highlight... More

John and Gaye are the ultimate hosts. They seem genuinely excited to host you at their beautiful property. The room was comfy, the breakfast (and scones and pre-dinner drinks) was delicious and the company warm and welcoming. Plus john's map will get you to Auckland airport in about 15 mins! Strongly recommend staying here!! More

The accommodation here is outstanding, a private three roomed suite with living, bed and dressing/bath rooms situated in a beautifully presented 'heritage' home in the village suburb of Howick. Nothing is too much trouble for the hugely hospitable and generous hosts, John and Gaye. We did not have a car and they were more than happy to help us with... More

We have stayed in many B&B in NZ over 4 trips and this is definately one of if not THE best. Away from the hustle and bustle of Auckland City but close enough to day trip. 20 mins to airport. Great for getting to Waiheke Island (worth the trip) The attention to detail is second to none and host Gaye... More
