North Auckland Historic Hotel

"Always nice to stay at Emerald Inn. Handy location. Sadly there was very noisy roadworks the night that I stayed, so not a lot of sleep. Nothing that the staff could fix, obviously, but a shame nonetheless. "

"Way beyond expectations. We booked with the expectation of a room with a view. We were delighted with the private penthouse suite. Better and bigger than our apartment. It had not one but two rooms with a magnificent view of Devonport wharf and Waitemata harbour."

"Stayed for 3 nights, check in was easy, staff very friendly, room was clean and tidy,staff serviced the room daily, very handy location to the motorway, great meals and friendly staff at the out back bar which is part of the complex, will definitely be back"

"Very complicated check in. The people from the motel wanted to charge me extra $100 for using a visa debit instead of a credit card. The money had already been taken from my bank account when I booked online but they insisted I have to give then extra $100 they would refund when I check out. Looked like a scam to me. Never had something like that in NZ before. "

"The room was ready when we arrived. Well stocked with tea, milk waiting us in yhe fridge. View of the water as promised. We were asked if we had a small car, just as well. Tight getting it into the space we were allocated due to the angles of that particular parking space. Staff were pleasant and great cafes nearby. Pool not open."

"We chose Carnmore as we needed to be near the hospital, but the location offered much more than that with the beach a 2-minute walk away in a pleasant neighbourhood, and cafés not too much further. Easy and secure parking, clean modern rooms and a quick check-in made it a great stay. We didn’t have time to use the pool but it looked great. "
