    Everything! Sandra and Doug were extremely hospitable. It was very clean and comfortable. We had a great view of the fireworks from the Skytower on New Year’s Eve. Breakfast was great, and very accommodating. I would book it again in a heartbeat....

Company info

Doug and I have previously hosted Bella's Bed and Breakfast in this area for many years. We enjoy meeting our wonderful guests and expect our guests to feel relaxed and comfortable while staying with us. We live on the lower level separate to our guest suites which are on the upper level. We respect our guests privacy and are contactable during your stay. During the renovation Doug and I had a large input to the design decor and interiors which we enjoyed every moment. We have a feature in the magazine NZ House & Garden August 2018 which we are very proud of. Both of us a born in Auckland and have lived locally in this street for 22 years. We love the central location to the city and Ponsonby road for shopping and dining. We have an interest in living a healthy lifestyle with a positive and gracious attitude to life.

Property info

Recently Franklin38 has just undergone a two year complete renovation/rebuild. This grand old villas started its life as a gracious family home however in the early 1920's she was turned into a 15-bedroom boarding house, slowly losing her shine as the years have gone by. We now have four luxurious suites, all with double glazing. Every door, wall ceiling has been replaced. However we did manage to restore the ornate plaster ceiling in the hallway downstairs. We have incorporated contemporary furniture in the suites, underfloor tiled bathrooms with sensor lighting. Separate guest dining to enjoy meeting other guests at breakfast and a beautiful guest lounge to relax in. In the warmer months we have a large guest only outdoor roof garden to enjoy the city views. Wrap around balconies have a fantastic view of the city and sky-tower.

Neighborhood info

Freeman's Bay is the nearest suburb to Auckland City. It is a very easy 20 minute walk or catch a bus near us every 20 minutes. Auckland top restaurants are a five minute walk and so are the trendy bars and shops. The sky tower is a 15 minute walk which you can see from our property.
