Stayed here on Saturday and absolutely loved it!! Rooms are clean and spacious. Setting with trees and flowers is beautiful. Location is 10/10 (we had a show at the Bruce Mason centre so was a few mins walk). Only thing I noticed was the pool needs a clean and it would be great to have proper loungers as the cushions provided weren’t very comfy. Overall, we loved our stay and will definitely be ba...

We thought for a kitchenette we cld cook our own breakfast, but this room only had a to...

The Emerald Inn was managed by James when I had my stay there. He is very accommodating and extremely helpful. The facilities are very clean and modern and the location is one of the best on Aucklands North Shore. I highly recommend James and the Emerald Inn staff as a top choice for your stay if you are ever visiting Auckland.
