Low-key and comfortable, this small guesthouse within a two-story 19th-century villa provides everything you need for a relaxing stay. It's close to all that Devonport has to offer and is a short ferry ride from Auckland's CBD. Your room may have a claw-footed iron bathtub or access to the balcony; rooms are different sizes, and the decor in each is modern, neutral, and uncluttered. There are complimentary snacks and fruit in a shared lounge.
Commanding the corner opposite the pier, this turn-of-the-20th-century Edwardian baroque-revival hotel is the first thing you see when approaching Devonport by ferry. (And it's advisable to get here by ferry, as the traffic into Devonport can be bumper-to-bumper, especially when the trendy suburb is hosting a music or food festival.) Upstairs, a wide corridor lighted by chandeliers leads to generous rooms with period furnishings and long drapes hanging from the tall windows. Harbor views come at a slightly higher rate. The elegant two-bedroom, two-bathroom Penthouse Suite is ideal for families (at around twice the standard rate).
