Review: The room was clean and tidy. Not enough blankets or pillows in rooms. The pool was dirty and there was no map of how to find sauna, spa pool - this was why I booked in here so we were disappointed. It was a nice quiet place to stay and on street parking. Beds were comfortable., by Brooke

Review: Clean room, good communication with the staff. AC worked great. The jacuzzi tub was excellent for tired, weary muscles., by MOLLY, March 13, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: Selected "The Emerald Inn" via internet and it was everything and more than we expected. We spent a week there and it was just what we wanted and needed. The room was very clean and had more than what we expected - range, dishes, etc. It was within easy walking distance of a gorgeous beach, a fantastic restaurant - The Cafe and Bakery. We chose not to rent a car and where able to explore Auckland via bus and ferry as well as other sites. Transportation system makes it easy to get around. ..., by Bill and Katie, October 20, 2014, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: After a month in NZ, this was probably the nicest place we’ve stayed. It felt like we were visiting a friend’s home, instead of staying in a hotel. Sitting room cozy, kitchen modern, fully equipped and clean. Hosts very friendly. Close to town which wasn’t too touristy., by Kenneth, March 13, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

Washing and drying facilities in apartment. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend for other families., by Timothy, July 23, 2022, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: The best I ever had in New Zealand! Since I came here, everyday is just new and different. There is so much activities to do out here. Very quiet too. 3mins walk to the Warkworth city Centre. Best location ever and it is about 45mins to the Auckland central (10am-2pm and sometimes later in the day). You have to come here and see things for yourself..I promise you, you will love it here. We have the best host at Walton park motor lodge. They made our stay fun and an incredible experience. Dan and..., by Temi & Pam, February 21, 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: Spent a couple of pleasant nights at the City of Sails recently. Staff were very friendly and the motel was very clean and comfortable. It had all the necessary amenities in the room, but as it isn't a large motel, there was no restaurant. It is a short drive to Takapuna or Milford (where we found a nice cafe for breakfast)., by Donald, April 18, 2018, rated 10/10 Excellent
