Verandahs is a lovely old villa with an almost ‘posh’ backpackers vibe. Its a couple of minutes walk to Ponsonby Road and about 10-15 minutes to K Road. We stayed in a queen room with ensuite which was spacious and clean, with nice linen on the bed. Check in was a breeze and the service was friendly and warm. Definately recommend and would stay here again :)

Stayed here for a night whilst passing through Auckland. The facilities were great, but bed was a little uncomfortable. The doors were always locked from the outside, but no lockers in the rooms. Also only had 1 main light in the room, which was a bit annoying. But overall good value for money for the night.

Extremely lovely building, very homely
Lovely house with garden, balconies, library, living room and a very well equipped kitchen. Staff were really friendly and helpful. I stayed 3 times in different rooms, the ensuite rooms are definitely worth the extra money, simply because you are normally away from the single rooms there's loads of doors slamming shut with everyone nipping to the toilet throughout the night. Great location as very close to centre without the noise and big supermarket just 5 mins walk away

Nice balconies with views of the city , has big garden area and is right next to a park, so feels very green and in nature. Easy 10 minute taxi from CBD, good food options in local area.

Verandahs is a nice comfortable and clean place to stay. My only problem is there was no towel provided. If this is usual, I had no idea I would have to bring my own.
