It was a crazy weekend. Half the house full of "P!nk" fans and the other half, travelers wondering what hit Auckland. Fun all round and we're so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for bringing life to my house and taking the time to review us. Cheers.

We enjoyed your stay here too. Pity your flight delays meant you had to do your presentation remotely. Better luck next time. Thanks for taking the time to write your review. Cheers

I'm a big believer in being real. Restoring an old house will do that to you. Also I try to be authentic looking after our people. Guests at Braemar get good old fashioned hospitality; a real Kiwi experience. I'm glad that you and Tony realised that. Thanks for your review, we appreciate it.

We really enjoyed having you and Robb here before you sailed off on your cruise. The travellers tales you and our other guests shared at breakfast and over drinks in the lounge were fun too. Thank you for taking the time to review us. Bon voyage.

Glad you enjoyed your stay here with us. We enjoyed your company too. Thank you for bringing life to my house. Cheers

I could see when you arrived that things were not what you were expecting. From time to time, guests like yourselves don't read the room description carefully "Jenny Room - shared bathroom" and see that we are a heritage home. Of course you felt embarrased by your mistake but that doesn't justify making unfair comments that are not true. Our other reviews don't support your observations. The late cancellation fee is made quite clear. It is to protect our selves from guests who change their minds at the last moment and prevent others from staying with us. All the best

So glad you "get" what we have here. The original owner John Russell Gray had this house built for his family and we carry on the tradition. Thanks for being part of our family even if it was only 3 nights. We'd love to meet your fiance. If you are contemplating a family of your own, here is a great place to start. Thanks for taking the time to write such a lovely review.

"There's nothing else like it" Glad you enjoyed what we have here and thanks for taking the time to write about us. Let's do it again soon.

Glad you liked it. Thanks for taking the time to share your impressions.

We are pet friendly here at Braemar but that is usually guests with dogs. It was great that this time you could bring your baby birds, tiny and with few feathers. Such fun. Thanks for sharing.

Yes it's the perfect place to stay for a concert at Spark arena. Sorry about the musty smell. We have tried to find its source inside the house but it alludes us, I think it is from the leaves in the garden as it is noticeable when the window is open. We'll keep working on it.

Can't top that, thanks for such a great rating.

Mother and daughter and partners having a great stay. That's what we are here for. Thanks for reviewing us

My poems are mainly to entertain children who are staying. The're by AA Milne, the Hums of Pooh that I remember from my childhood. Glad you liked them too. Thanks for the review.

Thank you John, we enjoyed your company immensely. Thank you for taking the time to write this. Have a great trip home.

I'm glad you enjoyed what we have here. Braemar is the only registered heritage home in the central business district that travellers can stay in. There's nothing else like it. Glad you found us. See you again soon.

Can't get any better than that. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the good review

Yes two guest rooms have their own bathroom and the other two share the house's big original bathroom. It works out well for most guests. We enjoyed your company. Have a great trip back to Sweden.

Top of the pops. Thanks for that.

Glad you liked what we have here. Thanks for staying.

Thank you for bringing life to our house. Glad you enjoyed it. Have agreat trip.

Glad you enjoyed us, bon voyage

Your review captured the essence of what we have here at Braemar. Thank you for staying with us.

Playing a small part in your honeymoon was a rare pleasure. So glad you enjoyed it too. All the best.

Thank you for your appreciation, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers

We enjoyed having you here too. The train is a relaxing way to see New Zealand. Bon voyage.

Just up the road from your concert. Cheers

Susan didn't read the room description carefully before booking our lowest priced room and only realised it was a shared bathroom situation after they arrived. Other rooms with their own bathrooms were already booked otherwise I would have offered them an upgrade. our listing also makes it clear that we are pet friendly. Guests love the opportunity to have their companion animals with them. These guests arrived before our normal check-in time and film makers were still shooting a movie here. Our in-house guests thought it was a wonderful thing to observe. Braemar is a 120 year old heritage home. It may be a little worn in parts but I strongly reject any suggestion it is not clean. As soon as they stepped inside I could see that they weren't expecting what we have here. I'm sorry that our late cancellation policy does not allow refunds to guests who just change their minds on arrival. I hope they found a "run of the mill" hotel that suited them. You will see from our other reviews that guests who seek us out for what we provide are very happy here.

Thanks for that, let's do it again. "defiantly" Cheers

Glad you liked what we have her. All the best for the rest of your trip. Cheers

I loved having you and Ernie here with us and trust your cruise is going well. Through the round windows this time. Please keep in touch. I'd love to tell your stories. Bon voyage.

We do what we can to help make your stay as happy as possible. We're glad it went well. Bon voyage.

Glad you loved what we have here. Thanks for staying and sharing your kind words. Bon voyage.

We enjoyed your company too. Looking forward to your return. Thank you.

We treasure that connection with a much loved New Zealand hero. Glad to share it with you. All the best.

I am very proud of Auckland, my home town and love to help visitors enjoy what the city provides. Bon voyage.

Thank you for enjoying what we have here. Bon voyage

Thank you for appreciating what we have here. Lonely Planet said we were "a very special place to stay" We enjoyed your company too. Bon voyage

Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. Cheers

Glad you liked what we have here. I'm not sure which of the four Roberts we've had here lately you are but thanks for the lovely comments. Have a safe journey home and back to us sometime soon. Cheers

It was great having you both here, glad you liked it. Enjoy the Cricket. Cheers

I'm sorry John but I think you are being unfair to us. There's no mention of a "free shuttle" on our expedia page or on our website and I certainly wouldn't have mentioned it to you. The 2 rooms with private bathrooms were already booked. Expedia makes the shared bathroom arrangement quite clear, it's one of the reasons the room is much cheaper. We put a clothes rack on the wall to hang things and a chest of drawers for folded clothes. Others like what we have here, think us good value and rate us accordingly. That is how we get our ranking. Mel and I are only responsible for looking after our guests. Your unhappy demeanour and bullying demands on arrival were sad for us too but I hope you eventually had a good trip. All the best.

Your appreciation is gratefully received. Glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you.

Thank you Roger, it was great having you here and seeing things work out fine in the end. We are so glad you enjoyed what we have here for you. Cheers

Great having you both here in my home town. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your kind words and all the best for your important work back in Chicago.

It was lovely having you both here on your honeymoon. Thank you for the flowers, we will put them on the big map. Sayonara.

Glad you like what we have here. Let's do it again.
