Lois's room

Ponsonby, Auckland 1011

private room in Ponsonby $340 to $370 (1 person) $440 to $470 (2 persons) 4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms 4 flatmates not suitable for smokers or vipers Single Room (beds for one or two roomies) and Double Room available - furnished, including bedding and towels.

We are very lucky to be able to share our rustic home, one of the ‘classic villas’ of old Ponsonby. Inner City and Outer City buses run along Jervois Rd and also along Ponsonby Road with bus stops within few minutes walk from the house.

Our home has a bit of a life of its own, so we ask that people be respectful of the common space and of the fine folks who come into and through our lives here - from all over the globe. There is no smoking or vaping on the property. We have a shared kitchen which sometimes features goodies for all.

We have 3 furnished rooms that we make available to students or travellers, usually for a minimum of a month. The rooms are named (inspired by Alice in Wonderland): Dodo’s Nest, Caucus Room and Rabbit’s Hole. We can also provide homey hostel style stays: $65/day single (3 day minimum).

We have a cat who is very friendly and not a ‘meower’ - and getting quite old now.

If you are a person who is tidy and one who is considerate of others, and you want a place with warm surroundings, plenty of green space right in the middle of Auckland and a family-like atmosphere - for a short or long stay - get in touch with us through this cool website and we can arrange a casual visit so you can get a feel for the place.

Cheers from The Websters

We are retired academics (originally from America) who spend most of our time in what we call ‘the castle’ - it is a ‘granny flat’ at the back of the main house. One of our adult sons lives in the main house at the moment. We are very caring, casual landlords. We have been renting out rooms in this wonderful old villa for years, often to students or travelers from all over the world. Recent roomies have been from France, England, Germany, and at the moment we have with us a lovely guy from Portugal.
