We had a lovely and comfortable 3 nights at Amitee's. There was a warm welcome after a long flight. We stayed in the 'Penthouse', which has fabulous views and the most comfortable bed we have slept in. The layout of the Penthouse may be a bit 'different', but fits the space very well. Lots of nice touches like a jug... more

We stayed at Amitees in late June and despite the winter weather, had a wonderful time. Jill and Ian were great hosts, giving us personalised maps and helping us plan around the rain. Our bedroom and the guest lounge were spotlessly clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. The hotel really does make you feel right at home. We loved the... more

Our stay at Amitees was most disappointing. The room was tiny as was the bathroom. The sink was the smallest we'd ever seen. Most importantly, the whole place smelled like cats. For people who have cat allergies, that is a problem. Ian, however, was helpful and certainly nice. But not enough to make a difference in our overall experience. PS-the... more

Lovely place to stay, lovely owners (sorry but the names escape me) and couldn't do enough for you. If I ever go back to Auckland I will be staying there. more

Overview: What a wonderful place! Nestled along the numerous restaurants and cafe's of Ponsonby away from the bustle of central Auckland, but still conveniently close. Location: The Link bus stops within a block of the house... just $1.60 NZD into the city center. Not a bad walk either... about 20 minutes. There are tons of cafe's right across the street... more

Ian won our hearts when, unable to decipher our total accommodation request, he actually called us within minutes of our initial e-mail to clarify. From that moment on he couldn't have been more helpful, going above and beyond in answering endless questions about the whole country, long before we actually arrived. (He and Jill topped that with their compassion about... more

Ian and Gill have opened their lovely home to be a boutique hotel. When you drive past it hides the wonderful welcome and the attractive quality and simplicity of the rooms and the whole house. The city is within easy walking distance of the hotel and the local shops and restuarants are of the highest quality. If you want to... more

We arrived in on a long haul from London and stayed there for one night to see Auckland and to try to freshen up before picking up a campervan the next day, and to that end it was perfect. The owners are helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough to make sure we had everything. The communal areas has everything... more

We spent two nights at Amitee's and have absolutely no complaints about our stay. Everything we wanted we found. The lounge is fabulous--stocked with great books, magazines, snacks and free internet access. The bedding was fabulous and the room had great tailored decor. The location is perfect...the "Loop" bus drops off and picks up right outside the front door, but... more
