Had a lovely stay at Emerald Inn. This was my 3rd stay in 2 weeks. Rooms are lovely with everything you need and they have a free guest laundry. Staff were all friendly and helpful. I even got a room upgrade becaused I had stayed so often. I will be back to stay when I'm in Takapuna.

Emerald Inn is a great motel in a iconic location close to Takapuna beach. It was very clean and also had good cooking alternatives. Not only was there a microwave oven but there was also a cooking hob and nice fridge.

Property is an oasis in the city. Quiet, well kept, super nice people, super close to the beach and walkable restaurants (highly recommend Tokyo Bay!)
This is not an ultra fancy and ultra modern resort - that's not why you are staying here and that's not what they are trying to be. As others have mentioned, no AC but it really isn't necessary - open the windows and let the air flow through (fans were provided if necessary).
5 stars, would ABSOLUTELY stay here again!

We paid $350 per night and for that price, we were expecting there to be air-conditioning. The decor was a bit dated and it felt like they scrimped wherever possible eg toiletries, toilet paper. On the plus side, it was in an amazing area - right next to the beautiful beach and walking distance to a vibrant town with multiple wonderful restaurants/shops.

Lovely location and our stay was really enjoyable. The only negative was the fan was on which was noisy and we were unable to turn it off. The cleaners told us it could only be turned off from the downstairs unit (we were in the upstairs unit) which seemed a bit strange. It led to the unit beside us complaining about the fan noise but it was out of our control.
