Always nice to stay at Emerald Inn. Handy location. Sadly there was very noisy roadworks the night that I stayed, so not a lot of sleep. Nothing that the staff could fix, obviously, but a shame nonetheless.

This beautiful little hotel, tucked away in beautifully landscaped grounds, close to a lovely beach town, not far from downtown Auckland, is a gem.
With the beach, water and lots of restaurants nearby, definitely a place I’d love to stay at more than one night.
The pool clean and gorgeous, a refrigerator and dishes, guest laundry room, parking on site, all wonderful.
The warm welcome at the reception made us feel at home. Loved our stay!

Great place to stay at! Close to the Bay Area and beach. We saw kiters riding. Hopefully we will try next time too! The place is easy to find and we loved the area even more than Auckland. The place is clean and cozy. Very convenient to check in and out
