Lonely Planet

The "Lonely Planet" has this to say about Parituhu:
"This very good gay and lesbian-friendly guest house provides a perfect base for travellers looking to have the city at their fingertips with a sense of being able to dip their toes in Auckland's most relaxing neighbourhood. The accommodation consists of one double bedroom with en suite bathroom, and both are in delightful shape. It's not a flash Edwardian-era villa that you are staying in, but it is a very homely, relaxing and welcoming place."
