The Emerald Inn has long been a jewel in the crown on Auckland’s North Shore. For three decades, the Emerald has been locally owned and family-run, has been welcoming tourists, visiting family members and the business community to stay, all just metres from Takapuna's beautiful beach.
To celebrate its 30th anniversary, owner and managing director Diane Foreman has launched The Emerald Card, an exclusive membership card for local businesses. Reinforcing The Emerald’s long-standing support of the community, The Emerald Card gives local businesses fixed, preferential rates on all rooms, including the newly designed penthouse. Business owners can book rooms for their family, staff, clients, suppliers and contractors and know they’re staying in comfort and with the very best of Takapuna just metres from their door.
“The Emerald has long been the accommodation of choice for the business community in Takapuna and nearby suburbs. We are delighted to show our support for local businesses with our new membership card. They’ll have certainty in pricing and in knowing their guests will be well looked after while enjoying The Emerald’s beautiful, subtropical setting,” says Diane.
The Emerald Penthouse
New managers, James Botting and Sam Miller are excited to welcome everyone to stop by for a tour of The Emerald and its new luxurious Emerald Penthouse. The Emerald Penthouse, a new two-bedroom retreat, has modern amenities and breezy, spacious, open-plan living bathed in natural light. The penthouse overlooks The Emerald grounds and swimming pool and has views out to Rangitoto Island. It’s been freshly redesigned by Stewart Harris, who also designed Millbrook Resort and the Hilton Queenstown. “The Emerald Penthouse personifies Takapuna. It's joyful, colourful, coastal, and it’s memorable,” says designer Stewart.
Takapuna’s best-kept secret

It's perfect for business travellers and holiday visitors alike, with a wide variety of boutique self-contained accommodations available.

From the restorative serenity of the gardens to the tasteful furnishings of the rooms, everything at The Emerald is designed with comfort and relaxation in mind. Guests awake rejuvenated by a restful night’s sleep to the sounds of native birds in the courtyard garden at the centre of the property.
