Description :
A warm welcome awaits you at Stafford Villa - luxury bed and breakfast accommodation located in the Victorian maritime suburb of Birkenhead Point.

The Villa is on Awanui Street which leads down to Needles Eye, a private swimming beach.

About the property:
The Villa is a short stroll to cafes and award winning restaurants, a movie theatre, art studios, nature walks and bird watching. It is also close to the water and surrounded by tropical trees and shrubs. It is just one step over the harbour bridge from Auckland city centre, an 8 minute ferry ride across the water facing the downtown skyline.

Whether you are looking for accommodation for a special occasion, wedding, honeymoon, golf, wine tasting or a leisurely few days away from the hustle and bustle, at Stafford Villa you will find a place of colonial history where the past and present are delightfully blended.
