PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

This restored villa owned by hosts Sally James and Gerard Hill will delight you. It's quiet, yet within walking distance of the best of Ponsonby, and the comfortable rooms reflect a colorful Pacific mood. Three suites have both bathtubs and showers. The lovely Dunedin Room has its own deck, while the upstairs penthouse has a sitting room and balcony. Don't overlook the Palm Garden studios if you want extra space and privacy; some of these come with kitchenette, minibar, and VCR. There's a sunlit lounge bulging with books, lots of New Zealand art and magazines, verandas to unwind on, and breakfasts to linger over.
