The Devonport Garden Room is a newly designed private sunny self contained studio/cottage set in the tranquil grounds of an 1870's villa. Grape arbours, brick courtyards and tropical gardens separate the accommodation from the main villa and it has its own separate entrance and parking. Large French doors open out from terracotta tiled floors and billowing calico curtains onto a tranquil villa garden of old English roses together with plantings of tropical vegetation.

Here you may enjoy your breakfast in the sunny courtyard or in the privacy of your room. Our breakfasts include tropical and seasonal fruits served with our own home made muesli and yoghurt, croissants or muffins, warm home-baked breads and free range eggs and Danish Bacon with good coffee and a selection of teas.

This unique marine village offers an array of beautifully restored 19th century villas and other architecture, quaint village shops, art galleries, museums, trendy cafes and good seaside restaurants.

Around Devonport there are many lovely parks, interesting walks and other beaches to explore. It is a pleasant flat area for cycling with several (extinct) volcanoes from which to enjoy spectacular views of the harbour and Auckland City.

Enjoy a glass of wine on the beach at sunset and an early evening swim, before an easy stroll along the esplanade to Devonport village for a great selection of good local restaurants.
