Mollies
St
Mary's Bay, Auckland
Every room is different and the entire house is a very magical
place.
The Inn features incredible
flowers and decor |
 |
It is a delight to find a luxurious city haven different to that of
a large hotel. Mollies is such a breath of fresh air! Its gabled
Victorian facade is a tell tale clue. Mollies is no museum, it is a
property full of life in a musical ambience that can only come from
the collaboration of talented husband and wife team, Stephen and
Frances. She was a concert pianist and teacher of aspiring opera
singers; he designed opera sets and was an antique dealer. The Inn
is full of their personal treasures and the resulting in a exciting
and memorable stay where the ambiance of the hotel is unforgettable.

FOOD: Eating at
Mollies is a delight. They are known for incredible
table settings that are changed by the talented staff of
the hotel each evening. They have become known as "Tablescapes"
The hotel is lit by candlelight at night and is a very
romantic setting. During dinner the staff break
out into opera and sing for the guests. These are very
talented performers who receive coaching from the owner
Frances, who is one of the leading opera singing coaches
in New Zealand. Breakfast is an advent with a wonderful
menu and a light and airy setting for breakfast complete
with great flower arrangements. |

ROOMS: The room are incredible. There are no small rooms here. Every
room has a big lounge area along with the bedroom and many have a
small kitchen area. These are like apartments not rooms. The
decor is incredible and each room has its own character. Many of the
rooms have a fireplace and you return to the room after dinner to
dimmed lights and the fireplace crackling. It is a magical place.
The bathrooms are very modern with every convenience being
considered to make you 100% comfortable.
|
GROUNDS: Mollies has an incredible garden that is available to
the guests. Some of the downstairs rooms open right onto the gardens
and the walkways to the upstairs rooms look over the flowers and
trees.
SPA: The spa is
presently being expanded and soon will be a large spa
with several treatments rooms and as everything at
Mollies is special I am sure this new spa will be
magnificent. |

distance of so
distance of some of the city's best dining establishments.
