About us

Marlene and Anthony McAnulty are the owners and operators of the world-famous Eden Park Bed and Breakfast. Marlene is a Christchurch girl and Anthony is an Aucklander. The couple married in 1987 and have owned the property for 26 years. Although the idea of developing a Bed and Breakfast was not in the original plan.

Marlene and Anthony are the founders of the Super-Shuttle franchise in New Zealand. When this company was successfully sold in 1998, Anthony and Marlene went traveling and ended up in the USA driving Big Rigs coast to coast for 5 years.

Returning to New Zealand, they reopened the Bed and Breakfast, and then New Zealand won the hosting rights to the Rugby World Cup 2011. The Eden Park Rugby Stadium is within eyesight of this property and is well situated to be of assistance to any travelers who wish to see amazing sports. We advise rugby followers to make reservations now or you will miss out.

Auf unserem Neuseeland Trip eines der Besten B&Bs in denen wir waren. Die Zimmer sind sehr gehoben ausgestattet. Gibt einen sehr coolen Vibe. Es wird ein fantastisches Frühstück serviert. Alles in allem: sehr gut. Ich kann es nur empfehlen!

Lovely hosts and friendly doggie - extra treats available for free, with coffee and tea making facilities. Location was great for concert at Eden Park, just a quick 5min stroll and you're there.

La gentillesse n’a d’égale que le petit déjeuner de Marlène et Tony ! La propreté est parfaite Nous sommes comme à la maison. J’ai passé un moment fabuleux L’endroit est très bien placé avec des bus, taxis, tout est à côté Le calme du quartier chic donne une dimension à part à cette découverte d’Auckland ! Allez y les yeux fermés Virginie de Biarritz

We've just spent two nights here and it was the perfect place to be. Marleen and Anthony are amazing hosts! Very open, welcoming and knowledgeable about great places to visit, eat and shop. Super close to Eden park so we could happily walk to our event and very close but not too close to the city. The home is absolutely stunning, very clean and well kept with a great deck on either end of the house and a beautiful garden to enjoy in the backyard. Breakfast each morning was so elegantly laid out, the food was divine and the company of travellers also staying here made for great conversations. Their pup, Pippa and cat, Louie are very friendly and I must say, very quiet too. We've come home feeling very relaxed and happy with our weekend away and would happily book in again in future!

Owners are lovely people. Breakfast was very good. Lots of options for every taste. Our host gave us tips for things to do as well as good restaurants. Rooms are comfortable and quiet. I would definitely recommend this b&b
