Quaint and Hidden Charm

This is a gorgeous little place tucked nicely off The Prominad in Takapuna. It has an old-school, classic charm to it. It still has a key to unlock the room, which I loved. The room was a perfect size, extremely clean, and well kept. I would recommend this to anyone.

Perfect family spot in Takapuna

Our quick one night stay at the Emerald Inn in Takapuna was lovely. The two bedroom room layout was perfect for our family, the location was ideal, everyone was very kind and welcoming, and the gardens/pool area were very nice. We would stay here again.

Excellent location

Great location! Easy walking to restaurants, shops, and the lake. Our room was super-clean. The parking is a bit tight, especially if your room is around the back, but it worked ok. We stayed here in February and it was pretty warm. There is no air conditioning, and the windows provide little ventilation. There was a fan in the closet, which helped.
