I have traveled New Zealand north to south, and slept in many motels\lodge\hotels\backpackers and so on, this is one of the worst I have seen. When we came to Auckland in the beginning of the trip we slept in different place, when we returned we checked the bbh booklet and saw this backpacker which received a very high grade. 1)... More

Rooms are simple but clean and the kitchens offer all needed facilities. Bathrooms fine and all well-kept. The manager and her support staff are all very helpful and free wireless internet access is great. Be prepared for a good 20minute walk from the downtown quays area.

This was my least favorite place that I stayed in all of New Zealand. I reserved a room with four beds for me and my friends, but when I arrived I was told that they divided us into two rooms with only ONE SMALL BED in each room. I reached the owner on the phone and she said they had... More

We stayed in Freeman's B&B in Sep for 1 night.. very clean facilities. It was also close (just walking distance or 5min bus ride) to the Auckland city center. Host was also very friendly; helped us with several suggestions for touring Auckland. More
