Nestled on St Mary’s Bay in Auckland, a few steps from the fashionable shopping area of Ponsonby, Mollies is a romantic hotel, a jewel in “the city of 100 lovers”. Opera buffs, the owners Stephen and Frances Fitzgerald have given this villa an intimate and artistic atmosphere, resplendent with artworks and a collection of antiques. The elegant decoration of the 13 suites combines perfectly classical charm and modern audacity. Bathed in light, they offer picturesque views of the luxuriant garden and harbour, and are decorated with rare objects, such as a grand piano and a harp. This “bijou hotel” also offers you the opportunity of a fine dining experience, with a five-course tasting menu, which changes daily.
