Andelin Guest House

Beautiful guest house with so much character. The room was so cozy and the view from the balcony was amazing. We especially loved the bathtub and the free roadside parking.

Everything was perfect

Location, nice quiet and comfortable room. Lovely hosts.

Nothing, it was all greats

Location & view

Nah zur Fähre. Das Haus repräsentiert den Charme des Seebad Devonport. Alles da was man braucht. Heizlüfter hat uns sehr gefallen, es wird Nachts schon kühl.

Sehr freundlicher Empfang und Betreuung durch das Inhaberehepaar. Sehr schönes Zimmer mit sensationellen Badbereich. Die Lage war sehr gut, um Devenport zu erkunden und die Fähren nach Auckland und den vorgelagerten Inseln zu erreichen.

Unser Zimmer war direkt rechts neben der Eingangstür und zur Straßenseite hin. Die Straßenverkehr war leider deutlich zu vernehmen.

Super convenient location. Very clean and tidy.

Très jolie vue sur Auckland et bon confort avec la chambre

Rien

Le charme de la maison, de la petite ville au bord de l’eau ( à 15 minutes en ferry du centre d’Auckland) l’attention de nos hôtes propriétaires des lieux … tout…

Rien

Wonderful heritage building, nicely updated to be well equipped and thoughtfully redesigned. David is a laid back and great host who has been endlessly helpful during the difficult Middle East flight cancellations.

Nothing of note.

Clean, great city view from our balcony. Lovely hosts.

Just the steps and stairs and uphill walk from the town but that’s just due to some physical difficulties I had at the time.

The bedding was extraordinarly comfortable. My bathroom was gigantic. I even had a small balcony! The area upstairs was very cute.

It’s not something I didn't like, just something I have to tell you. The stairs are rather narrow as it is an old house, so pack your bags accordingly.

Location is great, lovely villa

The building and room were beautiful, clean and spacious. The surrounds are scenic and the location is great, only a short walk from the main street in Devonport and the ferry to Auckland. The bathroom was huge and luxurious, and the bedroom was comfortable. The owners were friendly and helpful when you needed something.

The pillows on the bed were very thin and you had to leave the room and go to the shared kitchen to make tea/coffee/breakfast. On the bottom floor, you can hear the people above you walking around. The initial message you get after booking is the only communication you receive if you don't reach out, so if you book far enough out, it's easy to forget (and some of the information was outdated, e.g. recommendation for a restaurant that no longer exists).

Great accommodation, stayed 2nts. Comfortable beds after long flights. Hosts lovely. Would go again. Location fantastic just 5 min walk to Devonport.

Beautiful home and we enjoyed the Devonport area!

Love the location. To be able to walk to shops and the many restaurants in Devonport was definitely a perk of staying here. The bathroom was large and opulent as was the bedroom of course. Although we didn’t use the shared lounge that space was also well equipped. The views of the city & bridge from the balcony were lovely and it was nice to have an outdoor space to enjoy. We dined at 2 of the restaurants recommended by the hosts and they were both amazing. Bueno Sera was the best Italian we’ve had in a long time with prompt and friendly service. We also really enjoyed dinner at Signal Hill. Baked @ Devonport did the most amazing pastries & coffee that we went there for breakfast both mornings. Would recommend if you are looking for somewhere to base yourself with both Auckland and Waiheke Island a ferry ride away.

Une très jolie maison, très bien située, a proximité de tout - restaurants, magasins et ferry pour Auckland- . Une grande chambre avec une superbe salle de bain contemporaine. Un salon pour les invités avec un excellent café Notre hôte nous a donné de très bons conseils pour les restaurants

Comme souvent dans ce type de maison, le bruit de l'étage peut gêner dans la chambre 5 en rez de chaussée. Bien très fluide, la communication avec nos hôtes s'est faite exclusivement par messages .Nous ne les avons pas rencontrés durant les deux jours de séjour, alors qu'ils étaient sur place.

Lovely modern bathroom, high ceilings, original features in bedroom, comfortable bed, verandah chair and table, verandah view, bus stop directly outside., quiet. Lovely historic house.

No screens on windows ! Not sure why NZ ers omit this. Had to close windows at night as I am allergic to bug bites. Was a hot time of year and no air con. There was a fan :-)

It was so charming. Our 2nd floor room was fabulous and I loved the view of the city from the balcony. David was a gracious host. I loved the location as well. Perfect for walking.

Nothing.

Uitstraling en locatie

Bed was wat harder dan gehoopt (kwestie van persoonlijke voorkeur)

Excellent location, lovely room with huge bathroom on the ground floor

The guests in the room above us - we could hear them moving around (a lot - probably between their room and the balcony)

Great Location, charmantes viktorianisches Haus mit liebevoller Einrichtung und rundum Wohlfühlatmospäre.

Nichts

Die schönen Zimmer und der freundliche Empfang.

-

Super Lage. Ruhig und trotzdem in 10 Minuten mit der Fähre in der Innenstadt von Auckland. Großzügiges Zimmer und Badezimmer.

Very friendly staff/owners. Cool balcony/view of the city and extremely clean and comfortable. Easy check in, homely inviting feel. Short walk to ferry into the city

No instant coffee but that’s all just preference as there was a lovely coffee machine to use.

Super schöne Ausstattung, tolle Betten, sehr schönes großes Bad, sehr netter Vermieter, sehr schöne große Veranda

A good location walking distance to most local attractions, good restaurants and the hosts were most obliging and friendly. Would highly recommend if you wanted to visit the Auckland area but we're not keen on staying in the city, Devonport is ideally located just a short ferry trip away.

I would highly recommend Andelin Guest House. I thought staying in Devonport was a perfect place to stay to visit the Auckland area. The rooms were very comfortable and had everything we needed. Appreciated the coffee/tea and milk available.

Nothing

Very handy to Devonport shops and restaurants, Bedroom and ensuite bathroom lovely Balcony had nice outlook to city

The entry hallway had a slightly odd smell, may have been guest room foods from downstairs rooms.

Andelin Guest House is a beautiful property with a warm and inviting feel. The house, lounge, and rooms are all well-presented, and the spacious luxury bathroom was a real highlight. Check-in and check-out were easy, and the owners were lovely—friendly, helpful, and full of great local recommendations. The location worked perfectly for us, being close to friends we were visiting, and also offering a pleasant walk to the main street for coffee, groceries, and cafes, as well as convenient access to the ferry.

The only downside of our stay was the beds, which we found very uncomfortable. This did take away from the otherwise relaxing and cosy experience of the property.

Rooms We’re very comfortable. In a period house, but decorated in modern style. Great location to the town and the ferry over to the city.

A very pleasant stay and help with check in and luggage from manager David . Also helpful in organising taxi services . An excellent recommendations for restaurant Signal Point , and Taupo Indian Cuisine just across the road for wonderful food and professional staff.

Amazing old house in a perfect location. Quiet yet close to the city if needed

Towel changes could be more frequent

Great location, lovely comfy room and big bathroom

Lovely house in good spot

Very good location. Peaceful neighborhood. Wonderful hosts. Comfortable room

Staying a bit out of the city was perfection. We had a view of Auckland from our window! Close to great restaurants (thanks for the recommendations!) and close to the ferry. Room and facilities were homey. Highly recommend!!

Everything and everyone

Nothing I did not live about this place.

Friendly welcoming staff; great location, comfortable and clean facility.

The only small thing that took us just the first night to adjust to was the traffic noise out front. Earplugs helped!

A beautiful Victorian villa with views out to Auckland. Very conveniently situated a few minutes walk from Devonport with its lovely shops, cafes and restaurants. Easy access to Cheltenham Beach and short walk to the ferry to Auckland. Our room was beautiful, full of character and very comfortable. Highly recommend.

Great location for all Devonport cafes, restaurants and places of interest and the ferry to Auckland city centre.

Great location in laid-back Devonport, just a 15-minute ferry ride from downtown Auckland. Ample free street parking in front of the guest house. Lots of cafes and restaurants within walking distance. Quaint Victorian building, with high ceilings and lots of original features. Great second-floor veranda to relax and enjoy the view of Auckland’s skyline. View of an old church and cemetery (!!) from bedroom window. Bedroom had all we needed. Modernized bathroom. Common area with coffee machine.

Charming hosts, lovely home next to pretty Church and on a bus route. There is a coffee machine in the lounge upstairs which is a nice change from instant coffee!

There was no table in the room but they let me bring in the porch one. My room on the groundfloor had no views.

This is a very nice guest house with a welcome feel to it. Having a good coffee maker in the gathering room was great. We appreciated having a fridge to store the things we had with us. David gave us great advice and information and was very friendly. We were there 3 nights and all went very well. The town is lovely with nice cafe's and eateries. We could walk to everything including the ferry port. Parking was always available on street in front of the gate. We would be happy to stay there again. The bathroom was beautiful.

Beautiful room. Fabulous bathroom.

A bit hot to sleep even with the aircon on.

Was well appointed clean and very comfortable the only thing I would mention was that the rooms were not ready at 2pm as promised

Very friendly and helpful with all enquiries, lovely heritage hotel with lots of things to do and nice restaurants and shops within walking distance

Very comfortable, pretty, and clean. Friendly hosts. Great location.

Wonderful house, very nice room, comfortable bed and nice to sit on the balcony in the evenings. We liked Devonport so much and enjoyed the walk to the ferry for a trip to the city. Nice Cafes and Restaurants. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

We spent our first two nights in New Zealand at Andelin and our holiday could not have got off to a better start. The guest house, like Devonport itself, is charming. Our room was spacious and extremely comfortable. The host is very friendly and gave us some excellent tips on what to do in the surrounding area as well as where to stop on our next drive up to Paihia. There was lots to see and do in the immediate area and Devonport has some excellent restaurants. We also took the ferry across to Auckland, which was a totally different but also pleasant experience.

It was all very good.

This is a charming refurbished large home in a charming little town across the bay from Auckland. It was very comfortable and our host David was enjoyable company and very helpful. Although this property is not a B & B, there is a common dining table, upscale coffee machine and a refrigerator that allows for some breakfast preparation.

We can’t complain about anything.

Great location within walking distance to Devonport restaurants and the ferry. Friendly, helpful owners and a very comfortable room.

Good location

Room wasn’t serviced one day. Dirty cups by tea making area

Lovely old house brought right up to date. Very comfortable. In an ideal location for visiting the area and convenient for shops and restaurants.

David was one of the most accommodating hosts I've ever come across. He even did our laundry for us at the last minute before our flight that afternoon.

Great location in walking distance to Mount Victoria, the harbor with the ferry and downtown Davenport. Large room and very helpful hosts. Thank you for a great stay.

You can hear your neighbors when they speak loudly or watch TV.

Beautiful room, lots of space and massive bathroom that included roll top bath. Close proximity to Devonport village so we'll within a short walking distance. Hosts and other guests where very friendly which was nice.

I hadn't thought about the number of stairs to get to my room. I have dodgy knees so had to be careful navigating stairs, plus staircase was a bit narrow for getting my very bid suitcase up the stairs. The kitchenette had a small fridge and didn't have a tap and sink so could prepare and food. Had to eat out or get takeaways.

Cute little balcony and outlook. Good location. Owner was great.

The room was on the side of the main road so needed ear plugs to sleep through the night.

We had a wonderful time in Devonport. The house is beautiful. Very comfortable bed, fabulous bathroom. Great location close to the village and access to the ferry for Waiheke Island or Auckland City. Dave was an excellent host, friendly and helpful with suggestions on places to eat etc. This was second visit to this magnificent home and would not hesitate to return. Highly recommend.

Nothing

Room was spacious and very comfortable

Property felt a little tired (especially balcony) and would benefit from a refresh

Clean,tidy,quality guest house superb location.

Nothing this place is 10/10.

Cleanliness of property. Large bathroom, super comfortable bed and amenities available for guest use. David was so accommodating and friendly- made our stay enjoyable. We will stay there again if we are ever back in Devonport.

The location was great. It was nice to be able to walk into Devonport for meals and shops. The rooms were big enough and the bathrooms were huge. The owners were very friendly, and I quite liked having a shared dining room as it gave us the chance to meet with others using the house. I also liked the water cooler/heater, as it was very handy having the option of cold or hot water instantly.

There was no sink in the shared dining room and so no way to wipe up spills. It would also have been nice to have a tray to put the dirty dishes on, as it seemed not right to leave them on the table. We also couldn't figure out how to get the coffee machine to make a nice coffee. I liked the bathroom, but I didn't like the cool white lights as they kept flickering and were hard on the eyes. Warm white would have been better. I also would have liked off road parking.

Close to Devonport village and ferry terminal, neat old house.

No facilities to clean dishes. Great that hosts came and cleared dirty ones away to be cleaned but it didn’t feel right to not clean our own after use.

Great location, easy walk to Devonport village or Cheltenham Beach. Large well appointed room and ensuite, with lovely views over to Auckland city. Quality linen and lovely pillows. An adjoining guest lounge with tea and coffee facilities, plus microwave was a welcome bonus. The hosts were very accommodating in our request for early access.

No negatives

Every detail was so thought out for comfort and the decor was so tasteful.

It was all exceptional.

Everything

The location is ideal for exploring this historical area - excellent dining options, shopping, and recreational access. We enjoyed a daily walk up Mt. Victoria to enjoy the views of the city and sea. The room is quite comfortable and hot coffee/tea is always available. The hosts are very welcoming and had excellent recommendations to suit our interests.

Not applicable.

We loved the location. It was close to Devonport Village so we could walk everywhere and catch the ferry into Auckland city. When we arrived we were greeted by David who carried our bags up to our room and gave us more information on the area etc. We had already received an informative email from his wife Tracy about places to eat etc. Parking was a breeze, there is free on street parking outside the house. The room was beautifully presented. Loved their pillows., wish I could of taken one away.. If you want a place that is welcoming, close to the Devonport village and easy access to Auckland City this via the ferry this is it.

Excellent location near the village, walks and beach. The room and facilities are first class.

Nothing except some road noise, also it might be cold in winter but fine during our stay.

The location was very good as it is near shops, bars and restaurants. Also the ferry crossing is just at the bottom of the road

Disappointed not to meet the owners that were on site but had to ring them on issues. There was a drinks station at the top of the stairs and fridge but could not find cutlery until day we were leaving as the drawers were very hard to locate with no handles. It is on a main road which is not noticeable on the photos. The outside balcony furniture could have been cleaner. There is a view of the city and we sat out on the balcony but the table was all dusty.

Great location in beautiful Devonport. Comfy bed and massive bathroom… and a bath🥰

All great

We were met by the owner on arrival, very friendly and took bags to room (also carried them when we departed). Room was lovely with great views and a fantastic bathroom. Veranda with table and chairs outside room to look out at views and a lovely residents lounge with dining table for breakfast/relaxing. We chatted to dave (owner) on a number of occasions and he was always interested in what we had done/planned to do. Location was fantastic an easy walk into the town and great recommendations for eateries. A lovely experience.

Nothing!

Location Bathroom

Lack of storage space Property felt a little run down

The location, the building the bathroom and last but not least the great support :-))
