Choose a room from NZ$45
Originally built in 1865, Ponsonby Manor Guest House (aka The Red Monkey Manor) is a Victorian era manor house that has been recently renovated to her former grandeur with period decorative fireplaces and historic fittings but with modern comforts to help make your stay comfortable and memorable. Located on Ponsonby Road we are both easy to find and conveniently located to both all the amenities and attractions historic Ponsonby has to offer. We are just a pleasant walk or short bus trip from Auckland CBD.

We have 14 rooms all with LCD TV and complimentary Wi-Fi Internet access. Most rooms include modern tiled ensuite bathrooms as well as a bench countertop with bar fridge and tea & coffee making facilities. We have a variety of different rooms ranging from our cosy and warm single garden room to our upstairs queen ensuite room with its own private balcony and expansive views of the skyscrapers of downtown Auckland and Waitemata Harbour. We have family rooms with queen beds and large comfortable adult sized bunks that can sleep up to 4 guests. We have several disability accessible King/Twin rooms and a disability accessible bathroom.

You’ll find coin operated self service laundry, complimentary computer access and printing and a modern fully equipped communal kitchen with gas hobs at Ponsonby Manor Guest House. Located right on Ponsonby Road we are adjacent to dozens of cafes, award winning restaurants, trendy and sociable bars, top New Zealand designer fashion stores and art galleries. Socialise with other guests in the dining area or guest TV lounge complete with DVD player and Sky TV channels or enjoy a glass of wine and relax or meet new friends at the outdoor setting on the spacious back lawn and BBQ area or on the upstairs guest balcony overlooking Ponsonby Road. We have a range of rooms to meet varying budgets. We require a minimum stay of one week - we welcome medium and long term stays. We are your home away from home.
