Perfect. My partner and I had booked into what turned out to be a sad little studio in the CBD in New Year’s Eve. We did a quick search of nearby accommodation and Franklin38 appeared, and were able to fit us in at extremely short notice at 8pm.
The house is incredible, with original fittings and modern updates merging naturally to give a feeling of warmth and style. The husband and wife team checked us in and provided us with a beautiful room and en-suite (an impressive array of complimentary drinks and snacks included), and fresh hot and cold breakfasts each morning.
The bed is extremely comfortable, the room impeccably decorated, the bathroom fitted out wonderfully.
The added bonus of little griffins Bella and Archie push Franklin38 to a 6-star rating. We are now sitting in their common room after checking out, waiting for our cab to the airport. It feels like we are leaving home, not accommodation. If you’re planning on staying in the area, I can’t recommend Franklin38 enough.
Great stay, 5-star service, very friendly and helpful owners.
Nice rooms with good views. Delicious breakfast. Perfect location for trips, shops, tours, bars, restaurants. Thank you
To second another reviewer stop reading the reviews and book this accomodation! The quality and special touches of this place are amazing and the street it’s located on is excellent for local food and shopping. If you go at Christmas time too the whole street participates in lighting up their houses.
If you’re worried about ‘mingling’ with the hosts, don’t be. They’re lovely and leave you alone (or not) as much as you like. They’re perfectly friendly and great at reading situations!
Must do - can’t wait to go back!
Franklin 38 is a beautiful, luxury BnB, housed in a totally renovated, updated Victorian style house. Excellent amenities. Sandra is a delightful host.
My husband and I stayed at Franklin38 for three nights and it was amazing -- we would definitely go back and recommend it anyone traveling to Auckland in a heart beat! It was by far the best place we stayed during our entire New Zealand trip. The B&B just recently opened so everything is brand new. And the decor is contemporary and just lovely -- I wish my own home was decorated the same way. The bed was extremely comfortable and room was spacious; there were also complimentary drinks and snacks available in the rooms. Every morning Sandra cooked us a wonderful breakfast -- fresh fruits, cereal, eggs, sausage, toast, and even fresh tomatoes from Sandra's own garden. Sandra is so sweet and extremely helpful with tips for our Auckland trip. Overall, loved everything at Franklin38!
