A once in a lifetime opportunity is being offered with the landmark boutique hotel, Ponsonby Manor in Auckland up for sale.

Located at 229 Ponsonby Road in Ponsonby, the property is for sale through Bayleys’ agents, Alan Haydock, Damien Bullick and Wayne Keene via tender closing Thursday 9th June at Bayleys House, 30 Gaunt Street, Auckland, New Zealand.

Ponsonby Manor comprises a character Victorian-style mansion that offers a range of rooms, including the Family Room, The Penthouse, Ponsonby Suite, Premium Queen Rooms, Premium King/Twin Rooms, Standard Queen Rooms, Cottage and the Garden Single, offering a wide range of options for guests – many of whom return to stay multiple times.

All the 14 guest rooms are immaculately presented and have their own bathroom, with the upper-level rooms benefitting from balconies with views of Auckland’s CBD and Rangitoto Island.

On the ground level there is a shared outdoor area, laundry facilities and a well-appointed, fully equipped communal kitchen. An iconic part of Auckland’s early settlor history dating back to the early 1860s, the Ponsonby Manor is situated in the heart of Ponsonby Road, Auckland's premier shopping and dining precinct.

Bayleys agent Alan Haydock said that from a commercial perspective, Ponsonby and in particular Ponsonby Road continues to thrive, with commercial investment property remaining tightly held. Commercially, Ponsonby is identified as the premier dining and retailing precinct in Auckland, favoured by award winning restaurants and proven retailers.


“Some of the highest commercial rentals for retail and office outside of the CBD are found on Ponsonby Road, which has the added benefit of being surrounded by Auckland’s most sought after and expensive residential suburbs which include Ponsonby, Freemans Bay, St Marys Bay, Westmere and Herne Bay,” he said.

Mr Wayne Keene, Bayleys National Director Hotels, Tourism & Leisure told The Hotel Conversation, demand for accommodation around Auckland city fringe continues to be a popular alternative to large Auckland CBD Hotels.  Boutique Hotels with 30 rooms or less remain popular with corporates and FIT’s particularly in high profile locations such as Ponsonby and neighbouring Grey Lynn.  Whilst on site food & beverage is a must when offering accommodation in remote locations, Ponsonby Manor enjoys any number of restaurants and bars within 300 metres of its front door.

“Since the opening of New Zealand borders to a few countries in mid-April, reports from accommodation providers are that forward bookings are building and there is a sense of confidence to travel again.  The return of corporate travel across New Zealand is welcomed and domestic tourism is still a high priority for many. These are encouraging signs for accommodation providers moving forward over the next 12 months,” Mr Keene said.

Following a full upgrade and refurbishment, the property was reopened in its current configuration in 2011.

The property offers huge appeal for a diverse range of guests, including families, professionals and international and domestic tourists.

Potential purchasers can take advantage of the hard work carried out to date and continue to operate the property as a high performing accommodation asset, or potentially tailor the property to their individual requirements.

The property is also underpinned by 569 square metres of fee simple land which is zoned Business – Town Centre.
