The Emerald Inn is in a great location. The rooms are clean & well maintained. Our room was too close to the road, opposite reception, so I did find it quite noisy.

A fabulous place for a weekend away.. we felt like we were in our own wee paradise. The gardens and pool made it very private and like a tropical island. The Bruce Mason centre was so close we could walk to our event. Will be back.

Great the location as walkable to everything you need&want yet relatively quiet area. Clean and plenty of space for a couple. It’s an old motel building so let’s not expect anything super shiny. Much appreciate the lovely hospitality. :)
