Every year we enjoy the tranquility of this place, but also the near to the City Center and Harbour by bus. Therese & Bart offer excellent accomondations with high standard, matched with great hospitality, a very warm welcome and a gourmet-breakfast. In all the years we felt us so at home during our stays in this sanctuary.

We were recommended to stay at the Ascot Parnell by some very travel-savvy friends, and boy were they right! From the moment Bart picked us up at the airport we felt like family. We were warmly greeted and cared for throughout our stay. The room was quite, comfortable, and incredibly clean, and the shared sitting room and balcony with a... More

This was a great way to start and end our NZ holiday. Even after a delayed flight Bart's smiling face was so welcoming at the airport.The location was delightful: great views over the harbour, superb accommodation and facilities,easy access to Auckland's "sights" and very warm and helpful hosts. Thank you Bart and Therese

We found Ascot Parnell a wonderful place to end our five week trip to Australia and New Zealand. Bart and Therese provide very personalized service in a lovely, contemporary setting overlooking Auckland harbor. Our stay started with Bart picking us up at the cruise terminal, even making two trips to accommodate us (2 couples) and all our luggage. Once at... More

Ascot Parnell is not your typical B&B. It is basically one floor of a three story condo bldg. Four of us (2 couples) spent 4 days in Auckland. We each had a bedroom, lovely bathroom and sitting room with more closet space than some NY city apts! There is a lovely living room/dining room and a fabulous balcony. If you... More

We couldn't have wished for a better start to our holiday. Bart and Therese were attentive hosts who gave freely of their time to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Our room (or rooms as we had a sitting room as well as a bedroom) was immaculate. The terrace overlooking the bay and Sky Tower was amazing and the... More

We stayed at Ascot Parnell for our first three nights in NZ and can't imagine a better way to acclimate. Bart picked us up at the airport and gave us a ride to the airport at the end of our stay: a service that is well worth the price. The contemporary flat is beautiful and spotless. Breakfast was wonderful with... More

Even before we arrived we knew that we were going to be well looked after as Therese provided local information and arranged car hire for us. The accommodation was the best we stayed in on our NZ visit - good size bedroom with two comfortable seats and a desk and chair plus walk-in wardrobe and full bathroom all in superb... More

We stayed 3 nights at Bart and Therese's and could not be happier. The location was excellent and very near the city. We drove there from the airport and found the place easily. There was secure and free on site parking (unlike many city hotels); and if you don't have a car. there is always the pubic transport on Parnell... More
