Parnell is an inner city suburb of Auckland.
Part of it's charm are the pretty
old Edwardian and Victorian
villas and bungalows.
In recent years real estate prices have soared
because of it's proximity to the CBD.
The old houses are being lovingly restored
to their former glory.
The photo above is the shopping area in Parnell
where there are some lovely boutiques,
cafes and restaurants.
When the cruise ships are in port
passengers often do a tour of Parnell!

ReplyDeleteParnell is a really pretty place, Shane. I love those pastel and lace houses - gorgeous! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to see old homes restored and enjoyed again! (and I saw fences as soon as I looked at your photos...it's getting to be a habit!) Love your mosaic, too! Enjoy your day! Hugs, Diane

ReplyDeleteThank you for linking to Mosaic Monday Shane.
What a quaint location! I enjoyed seeing the charming cottages and shopping area. I am sure that this little town loves the cruise ships.
ReplyDeleteThe gingerbread trim on those pretty houses is the icing on the cake. So delicately done. I can see why this area would be a cruise ship attraction.
ReplyDeleteWe visited Parnell just last fall - we were on a cruise ship but visited the area on our own as part of a walking tour of Auckland. It is a charming area and one we will long remember.
ReplyDeleteDearest Shane,
ReplyDeleteLovely Victorian looking city is Parnell. Those homes do show the ginger bread that is also very popular here in the South of the USA. It gives a home such charm!
Enjoy your week.
Hugs,
Mariette
