My wife and I stayed at the Emerald Inn in January 2011 and we arrived at the motel late on a Sunday and were welcomed by the reception staff and shown to our upstairs room. The room had full cooking facilities and was very clean, well equipped with a balcony over looking the road. We could just see the beach 200 metres down the road.
The motel had an inner courtyard for parking, a swimming pool and small restaurant for breakfast. This was our first experience of self catering in New Zealand at the start of our holiday and it was to prove one of the best places we stayed.
It was ideally placed across the harbour from Auckland which can be reached by ferry from Devonport, a short drive down the road. There were excellent restaurants just a short walk up the road and an all night supermarket just 5 minutes drive away.
We thoroughly recommend the Emerald Inn and would return again if ever we come back to New Zealand.
