  January 2020 Stay

  My husband and I did a lot of research for the 2nd half of our 1st trip to beautiful NZ. We had just spent 10 days doing a South island motorcycle trip. For the North island, we had a car and were initially going to rent a house on a beach. We decided to stay locally near airport and do day trips. We flew in from Christchurch on 12/31 and arrived around late morning and were please that Janice let us check into our 2nd floor room #521. There is no elevator but we have good mobility and were able to manage the stairs. Our room was clean and ovelooked the pool, it had a clear corner view to be able to see (and hear the surf) which is a simple 5 minute walk down the street. We found many shops, restaurants and the Metro grocery store (take a cloth bag or they will sell you one for .99 cents) nearby. The kitchen had a stovetop, microwave and small fridge with dishes, utensils, pans, mugs/wine glasses, bottle opener, coffee maker with coffee and tea and single use dish soap, We brought breakfast foods and something to cook on the premises propane grill. You need to supply your own napkins, papertowels and kleenex. The bathroom had single use shampoo, soap and makeup remover pads. There was a couch and table with 4 chairs along with table and 2 chairs on balcony. There is no air conditioner but there was a fan in closet (which we didn't use) and we slept with windows open at night, except for when there was no breeze and the mosquitos came in. There was also no safe, (which I think would be nice to have). The bedroom had a vanity area with plug/light which I found handy, 2 night stands and a comfortable bed. I appreciated all of the closet hangers and shelf above to put stuff on. There was also a blow dryer, iron/board. The bathroom was a decent size with a towel bar system but no hooks/shelving otherwise. A few mornings we ran out of hot water, but never water pressure. Housekeeping came around the same time generally at 10 in the morning. We're not high maintenance needing new towels everyday and washed our own dishes, etc. It was a decent property and well located for doing day trips and getting around. We found the property busy at times but once evening came, then fairly quiet. I did use the pool several times and enjoyed that. The grounds are decent with many pretty flowers and there seemed to be enough parking, though tight even for our Corolla.

  As good as ever!!

  After an absence of nearly 3 years my wife and myself are visiting Auckland again and, in common with many of our other visits (see previous Review), we have returned to the Emerald Inn in Takapuna - not much more than a hop, skip and a jump from the increasingly popular Takapuna Beach. We were also extremely fortunate to be able to spend our 15 night stay at a Emerald Cottage (a beautiful 3-bedroomed whitewash house in Alison Avenue - see attached photos) which - particularly as our two week visit has been blessed throughout with lovely sunny weather - has some of the best views in Auckland. No need to repeat the many positive comments in my previous Review about this impressive other than to say reiterate the same Management team are still in place and - as we have consistently found - they would both welcome and value your custom. Book early, however, as this is a popular venue!!

  Wow - great spot to walk to the beach and the cafe's and restaurants

  Great find - close to everything and really quiet and peaceful. Large units with lots of windows and nice green leafy views. Would be nice and cool in summer and was nice and warm in winter. Will definitely be back....

  Nice

  Beautiful surroundings in city location. Parking is tight. We had upstairs room , beautifully presented and spotless. Down side was the shower over bath was slippery , needs non slip mat. Also beds are small and not very comfortable. Management were very pleasant and welcoming. Close to restaurants and the beach, good location.

  Great location average in room facilities

  Beautiful location a few minutes from the beach but disappointed by the in room facilities. The room itself was clean and well presented however we had the following issues. No kitchen sink so we had to wash up in the bathroom sink (round baisin so very awkward). No shower screen so the bathroom got soaked when we had a shower. Two small towels were all we had and we had to use these to wipe down the bathroom after our showers. No towel rail of any description to hand said soggy towels on - a beautiful sign asked us to consider reusing our towels but Im not sure how we were supposed to dry them with no rail. All in all disappointing considering the price we paid for the room.
