Ascot Parnell

Top choice in Parnell & Newmarket


The Ascot's three luxurious bedrooms share a spacious apartment in a modern mid-rise block. You're in no danger of stumbling into the owners' private space; they have a completely separate apartment next door. The largest room grabs all of the harbour views, but you can enjoy the same vista from the large terrace leading off the communal living area.
