PRICE:
Frommer's Exceptional

Guests lavish praise upon the Stafford Villa's upmarket B&B experience. Once home to a missionary family, the old two-story home, set in a quaint and tranquil Victorian suburb, was transformed by the industrious Mark and Chris Windram. Chris spent many years marketing small luxury hotels and resorts around the world, so she has a pretty keen idea of what makes a good holiday experience. The two rooms are lush and indulgent -- \"just a little over the top,\" says Chris, who believes guests like something different. You can breakfast in the conservatory, take a 5-minute walk to the ferry, and be in downtown Auckland just 10 minutes later.
